Description

Row on row of rusted steel drums are lined up outside of this looming, dilapidated collection of structures. The chemical plant — hidden like a dirty secret at the far end of a long, isolated road — looks as though it is decades out of code. Acrid smells are everywhere, blending into an olfactory tapestry that leaves the nose and throat itching and stinging. Rats of exceptional size scamper between the drums. At the far end of the lot, two forklifts are unloading palettes of barrels.  

Rumors

Due to the terms of an old Kindred treaty, the plant is neutral territory and has occasionally been used for the disposal of evidence.  

Traits

Physical: Access –2, Safety –2. The plant is secreted away from public view, and both the rats and the highly toxic chemicals make for an unpleasant experience for any visitor.   Mental: Information –3, Awareness –3. There’s little to be learned here, but the authorities deliberately cast their collective gaze away from this place.   Social: Prestige –5, Stability +1. Only the dangerously insane would reside in what amounts to a toxic waste dump, but the status quo protects the plant.  

Haven Qualities

Location 1, Security at least 2, Size up to 3. Immune to the harmful effects of long-term exposure to the plant, a vampire could make a decently spacious haven in the area (or even in the forgotten corners of the plant itself), at the expense of security and access to sustenance.
