A gas lamp flickers in the evening breeze, outside two great mahogany cathedral doors, which loom to dramatic heights before a gray stone structure that looks like a fortress. An icy chill emanates from the entrance and permeates the area.

A painted wooden sign states in dark, scrolled writing,

"Welcome to the SIE Compound

Within these stone walls you will find the Sanctuary of Immortal Enlightenment. A clan of the utmost integrity, commited to protecting their family at all costs and dedicated to the procurement of knowledge. Here you shall also find the Sanctuary of RavenBlackCity, a fun and lively public place for all to visit, drink and chat. Finally the Training Ground Institute is where you begin your training when you wish to join SIE. This is a wonderful school for learning everything a vampire needs to know to become everything they were meant to be. Enter if you dare and thank you for stopping by."
