Hightown

Part of the Ficticious San Andreas used for the Coterie of the Crimson Shadow LARP.

Built during the industrial revolution, Hightown is a marvel of glass and cement. Skyscrapers dominate this area, which has become the part of the area most people identify as "San Andreas." The home of affluence and wealth, Hightown has supplanted Oldtown as the central hub for the area.

=Hightown City Hall= A marvel of Marble and concrete, the Hightown City Hall was modled on a mix of ancient churchs and royal palaces. A first-time visitor to the city hall often stops and marvels at the grandure of the place and few non-locals who see it can imagine the poverty and squalor in the other San Andreas towns.

=San Andreas Executive Airport= Built in 1975, the SAEA serves an elite clientelle who either own their own planes or charter flights. Built to support commuter fliers travelling to San Diego, Sacramento, and other nearby airports in the southwest who were tired of dealing with the pollution or masses to use the International Airport.

=Heimdal Stadium= Michaels Stadium has been the home of the San Andreas Sharks since it was built in 1973. The Sharks are a well respected team that has enjoyed a lively rivalry with the nearby 49ers since being established. However, if the neighborly rivalry with the 49ers gets fans going, nothing ignites passions like encounters with the New York Jets. Such games are guaranteed to be blowout rumbles as the teams collide like rival gangs in the West Side streets.

This well rated NFL team exists in the city, and would very much like to know something about itself.

(Everything in this section is filler. The stadium and NFL team exist, but names, dates, and other information should be corrected.)

=Hightown Country Club=

=Arena Blanca Mega-Mall= Built in the mid 90's this sprawling complex of capitalistic might is the hangout for thousands of teenagers a year and is effectively the commercial district of Hightown. Several stories tall this sprawling complex is easily one of the largest malls in North America, if not the world.

=The Mustard Seed= 'He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches." Matthew 13:31-32'

The local Mega-Church, the Mustard seed, is a chapter of the growing national and international religious sensation. With six sunday services in its 2,000 seat main "chapel," and at least one 'prayer meeting' in that chapel the other six days of the week, it is the center of spirituality in San An. At least, that's what the Head Pastor, David Grey, will tell you over a hot latte moccachino from the in-church roastary. He will continue to chat with visitors, and potential converts, as they walk down the row of "giving booths" where volunteers from the church sit with souvenirs with God, Christ, the Holy Sprit, and- never forget -The Mustard Seed (TM) brandings available for a "small donation."]]

=Shamroxxx= Mega-casino owned by Seamus O'Conell, the Daeva Priscus. His childe Margarite owned a nightclub across the street before her final death.

Seamus hosted court in some secured areas at this location on August 11, 2007. That night several poor individuals struck jackpots and a DEA bust occurred removing a large amount of cocaine.

=The Invictus House=

The so-called Invictus house sits on a good sized plot of land just west of Hightown. Referred to as the Invictus House because a previous owner had the words of the William Ernest Henley poem Invictus worked into the front door. Built in the midle of the 19th century by a wealthy buisnessman, it has been home to a series of such individuals throughout its lifetime. During its heyday rumors would often spread of secret socities of the rich and elite meeting within its walls, though these have generally faded in the last half-century.

Once, the Invictus house was a point of the covenant's pride in the city. Lavish parties were held and secret covenant meetings adjourned to determine points of policy. With the decline of the Invictus, however, the house itself has fallen into disuse. The house and grounds remain "Invictus" domain, though much of the work once invested in that domain have fallen away.

Some suspect that the Invictus still occasionally use the facility for meetings, and a visitor or hard pressed member might be able to find a cranny in which to hide from the sun. However, largely, it serves as a reminder of the heights from which the Invictus have fallen in San Andreas.
