It’s a small bar with cheap beer. The smell of smoke permeates it and the inside is rather shabby, but it gets the job done.

The only mall within Newcastle. But it has everything. Literally. From auto repair shops to stores that sell sweet treats and other restaurants.

The schools of Newcastle; from elementary to college, none are really far apart from each other.

The only hospital in Newcastle lies about five minutes out of the center to give room to the rather large building. It's the largest, compared to all other buildings in Newcastle, and is perfectly white. Inside, it's clean as can be, but with limited rooms. Compared to other hospitals throughout the country, this one is rather small.

On the off chance there's a fire, Newcastle's got a fire department. It's not the biggest and the equipment definitely isn't state-of-the-art, but, like the rest of the town, it's got that small-town feel.

It's a fairly new building, the old one was torn down just before the opening of this one and because of that it's a bit more updated than most people would expect from a small town police department.

Town Hall is pretty close to the center of town. It's a large brick building. The left side is being slowly engulfed by vines. Even so, this building is used quite a bit to plan events and decide on other important issues.

So they exaggerated a bit on the name, but here's this history of Wyoming and of the little town known as Newcastle. If you press a button, a voice will tell you about the history. And off to the side is a small section of oddities that many customers find interesting.

Here are homes that can range from appartments to regular homes, to ranches.

A restaurant. It’s rather small and more a local place where everyone almost always knows everybody else’s names.

Newcastle's only library. This tends to be where people go to get on the internet for free if they don't have it at home and also for people who don't have money to spend at Porter's.

The number one fashion store in Newcastle. Of course, it's a little expensive for most, but you won't be denied the right look for you. Run by yours truly, Brooke Alondra.

The local church looks like a typical Baptist church, with a steeple and a pentagonal shape. It's white inside and out, and rather plain inside. Everyone knows each other and it's as much a gossip hub as it is a place to pray.

It's a rather small, non-descript building. There's not much to it, it ships and delivers our residents' mail. There are a couple of P.O. boxes inside as well.

Here are homes that can range from appartments to regular homes, to ranches.

Porter’s is the local bookstore. It’s actually closer to the center of town, but lies a tad bit east and all sorts of creatures and humans venture in here.

Much classier than The Tap and more open to newcomers than Ryder’s, Blue Moon tends to be a hot spot. It’s a nice enough place.

The only hotel throughout Newcastle. Holiday Inn was the only hotel company that decided to even put one here. Normally it's pretty slow, but when tourist attraction hits, it tends to be steady.

Newcastle’s own movie theater. It’s tiny and only shows two movies at a time and there’s only three shows a day for each movie, but it’s better than nothing and they just got new seats.

The cemetery is located on the eastern edge of the town. The land was donated by the Havens family. The cemetery is old, the farthest east being the oldest, from the very beginnings of Newcastle and as it proceeds west the dates come closer and closer to modern day. There's even a small abandoned chapel near the center.

Here are homes that can range from appartments to regular homes, to ranches.

This is one bar that by far beats the exclusivity of Ryder's. The Underground requires a password and is a place for only those of the darker races can enter, with some exceptions to the friends of certain creatures of the night.

Newcastle's only clothing store, Seams has a wide variety of clothings both name-brand and not. It also sells jewelry and other stuff.

The office consists of three rooms: a waiting room where you walk in, with chairs and magazines, and, down a hall, the bathroom. At the very end of the hall is the actual office, with a desk behind which Calla sits, a couch for her patients to sit on, and a few bookcases near her desk.

Newcastle was once the proud location of an automobile factory. However, for unexplained reasons the factory went under, and the large building has been abandoned for over three decades. The rumor is that it's haunted, and, while few people know for sure, most avoid it.

The jail is managed by the sheriff, and is a two-story brick building with a tall fence around it. It isn't used all too often, but does serve as a reminder that with crime comes punishment.

Here are homes that can range from appartments to regular homes, to ranches.

Now, there’s only one spring at this park, but it is clear. There’s a little kiddy section on the right side while the left has paths with trees lining it and some benches along the way. The spring (Okay, fountain) is in the middle.

Lyle’s is a good little store that has everything one may need around the house. It may not be as cheap as Wal-Mart, but Ly does get the best stuff and it’s pretty cheap for that kind of quality.

Need fresh organic fruits? Delicious and wholesome vegetables? Maybe you want some unbelievable roses for your sweetheart? Clementine has them and she's willing to sell her wares to anyone who wants them.

The gas station has four pumps and a small mini-mart. It provides only self service, and customers pay at the pump. The mini-mart is old and a bit run down, but is always well-stocked.

A news bureau gathers news and distributes it in the form of the Newcastle Times, a local news channel, and a radio station. The building is two stories and has separate offices for the three forms of media, though all share the news bureau.

Here there are only large ranches available for purchase.

This is the board that will contain all of the coven hangouts, pack meeting locations, etc. Apply for one, but make sure you read the requirements before submitting a request. Each coven/pack/etc. will get their own sub board.

Not exactly a huge lake, Cildir is big enough for most water activities. Swimming, water skiing, boating and most other things go on here in the summer and in the winter either the brave or the stupid snowmobile across it.

The rest of the surrounding area of Newcastle is flat, field areas. Some are used for farmlands and others as pastures for livestock, but the farmers allow others to go out and picnic or otherwise spend their time on their land.

Though mostly hidden to many trespassers, there are homes and even some villages that are skillfully hidden within this forest.

Surrounding most of Newcastle, many creatures live here that wouldn't pass in day-to-day life in town. Humans rarely, if ever, venture into the forest.

This hiking trail winds up to the mountains where it's said two native lovers leaped to their deaths. The seventeen mile trail is considered sacred to many who reside here, which is easily seen. If you walk the whole thing, you might come back home with a pocket full of arrowheads.

The meadow that borders the woodlands is a prime location since many woodland dwellers graze in here. Remember, each animal has their seasons. Deer, elk, moose, and even some bison can be found through here. Of course, some animals are protected by law -- you might want to be careful where you shoot.

Running throughout the forest is the well known Coruscate River, which provides water for all of the inhabitants. In the springtime, it's known to flood while in the cooler months, the water level seems to go down. While this river is relatively small to other rivers, it makes its small width up in depth. Many odd creatures are known to live within the depths of this river.

This is the heart of the forest, considered sacred among many species. It's a respected place that holds its own beauty. A various number of flowers grow here and the trees appear stronger than the other trees within the forest. It's a popular place to visit and always known as a more safe place to spend within the forest.

The caves are a mystery still to many forest dwellers. There's a bad reputation with the caves, and perhaps rightfully so. Found more at the back of the forest, the caves are always dark and have an almost menacing look about them. Most shy away from this area.
