Description:

Elysium and Tartarus is a club like no other in the city of Athens. Situated in Metaxourgeio, the exterior of the building mirrors the near medieval homes and apartments that surround it. Yet as one steps into the four-story tall building they are greeted with advanced displays built into the walls, causing one to feel as if the space inside is far larger than the actual size of the building. With private booths and rooms on terraces and floating floors above the main stage and dance floor, and a full-service bar near to the elevator entrance that leads down into the private spaces below the building: There is space for hundreds in a relatively compact venue known as Elysium. Tartarus lay beyond the Elevator, with the first layer below the ground. A hub for Organized Crime. Here one can rub shoulders with the who’s who of organized crime in the Greater Athens Metropolitan area and even, all of Greece. Here, one can find anything and everything… for the right price. Those of the Vigil, there is a second underground layer. Here lays the Headquarters for the Union as well as the Ashwood Abbey, as well as frequent haunt of the Lucifuge. There is a private bar and meeting place where Hunters can come and speak about their current hunts or just take a breath after a near death experience with something supernatural. From the lowest level of Tartarus, there is a passageway to the nearby Keramikos and the ancient graveyard and Catacombs, where the Lucifuge and Council of Bones often can be found. |

Once per Story a Hunter may spend a downtime action to rest at the Lost Temple. Within, their healing rate is doubled. This does stack with similar effects, e.g. Biokinesis |
Description:

For many a century, it was believed that the only temple to Asclepius was the Sanctuary in Epidaurus. However in the last five years, under the watchful eyes of the Cheiron Group and a conglomeration with the Asclepions, a new archeological site has been placed under protective custody. Only permitted public individuals have been allowed to survey the site.
The reason being, is a vast building effort by the Caduceus Cell to turn the Lost Temple into a Vigil stronghold. With an entrance surrounded by tall privacy fences and guarded by corporate security, Hunters can descend through ancient ruins until they are eventually greeted with a sleek and modern sliding door. Beyond, the ancient baths have been meticulously renovated and added to an underground hospital for the population of the Vigil. Those that spend their off time in the baths, find a strange sensation of their wounds healing faster than one would expect. |
