Settlement Quick Links : Charmingtown, The Parish, Irving?

Situated within the Ganglands of Del Cenere, Charmingtown serves as the coyote-dominated group’s primary hub for trading and commerce. For more information on Del Cenere’s territory, read more here.

Charmingtown has an open southern border access point to Outsiders, and is the only place within Del Cenere's territory where players may visit without express permission from Leadership. Please look over Charmingtown's guidelines below for details on visitation.

Visitation Guidelines

We welcome and encourage players to interact at will within Charmingtown's borders! However, in order to maintain peace and avoid excessive conflict, Charmingtown does have guidelines to maintain the peace:

Del Cenere has a strong anti-wolf bias. Wolves and wolf-dominant hybrids (over 50%) are therefore, limited, in their stays within Charmingtown. Characters falling within that category are only permitted two days' stay within Charmingtown, after which they must leave for a minimum of two weeks before returning.
- Exceptions to the rule extend to allied parties, or prior discussed inter-pack trade ventures with Leadership.
Visitors are not permitted to leave the confines of Charmingtown and venture into Del Cenere's territory.
- Players seeking to infringe this rule must discuss prior to doing so with Leadership, and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and petitions to tour Gangland territory may be denied at Leadership discretion.
Visitors are given lodging at the Trailside Inn for the duration of their stay. If there is no room at the Inn, they are allotted a monitored campsite.
- Animal NPCs (horses, sheep, etc) are most often lodged at the Lancaster Stockyard, or within the visitor's campsite. Avian companions must remain either caged, or within eyeshot of their handlers.
Weaponry is not permitted within The Ugly Coyote, and is generally frowned upon within Charmingtown itself. Weapons are subject to confiscation until the conclusion of the visitor's stay, or must remain peace-tied.

It is by tenuous mutual trust and the following of guidelines that keeps Charmingtown open, and Outsiders welcome. Violations of these rules and guidelines will result in swift repercussion, or expulsion.

1. Location & Premise

Once abandoned from a bygone era, the township has since been repopulated by the Gang – while a few of its old finishings and fixtures have fallen into disrepair, the Ashen have taken exceptional care to mold and re-shape the settlement to best suit their needs. The worst-off buildings, upon Del Cenere’s foundation, were knocked down, demolished, and cleared away, and weaker structures have followed suit in the wake of natural disasters. The buildings that have lingered, however, have since been retrofitted for Luperci, and a few newer constructions line the hardpack of the roadways as the settlement continues its own mild expansive efforts.

Charmingtown is situated within a natural formed bottleneck between the inclines of the Burnt Church Moutains and the pebbled beaches of Moosehead Lake. The locals refer to these foothills as El Monticulo - and the lanscape is dotted with woodland and open acreage of grassland; to the Northeast outside of the Lancaster Stockyard, the hilly landscape slowly level and spill out into more of the sloping, mellow valley encompassing the rest of the Debouille Reserve.

While there is plenty of activity in the locality surrounding the settlement, much of the town’s hustle and bustle, however, is hosted nigh solely within its main thoroughfare, or circulates through the Gang’s Foundries. The Ugly Coyote, situated at the heart of the thoroughfare, also provides a compelling draw to visitors seeking respite from travels in the form of alcohol, tobacco, cards, and dice games.

Once a year, Del Cenere opens its doors to a greater capacity for The Lancaster Stockshow, inviting in other packs, bands of loners, and the unaffiliated for one week of intensive trade and friendly competition in a low-stakes environment.

1.1 Temporary Lodging & Guest Accommodations

Trailside Inn

For more information on lodging and available rooms, see the Trailside Inn's listings on our Residency page. Should the Trailside Inn's occupancy be filled, visitors are alotted supplies to set up campsites near and around the Inn and within the friendly border areas of Charmingtown.

A large and overgrown manor, the Trailside Inn was once the cutting image of prominence and propriety. While ivy, brambles, and shrubs have naturalized and crept into brick and stone and wood, the building is nonetheless beautiful - a lawn, or perhaps, what was a lawn, has returned to meadow, lined in a stone wall that has been overtaken with twisting branches, greenery, and moss, and, every so often, a single donkey can often be spotted roaming the yard. The building wraps about a courtyard which has been manicured over time by the Gang's innkeeper, and part of which has been converted into a small-scale garden tucked up against the door to the galley. It possesses a small, cracked fountain with an empty basin, and is coated in moss that spills into the old brickwork of the patio walkways. Fruit trees push up the old pavers, and brambles of berry bushes swallow up every corner. A duo of smaller rooms downstairs have been reserved for permanent residents, Alonso de los Santos and Paninya, though the Encender and visitors to Del Cenere are housed in either of the inn's wings - split East and West, each host to six rooms split between floors.

A cozy, yet somewhat once-imposing manor with an impeccably groomed garden and courtyard, the Trailside Inn is situated just outside the proper bustling sprawl of Charmingtown, and serves as a focal point towards incoming guests as the very first building that creeps into view through the trees along the hardpack trails.

It's a sizable, two-story building of wood and stone, overgrown with ivy and a garden that’s long since re-wilded that obscures the large shape of it, with its duo of wings prepared to host all manner of denizens. The inside of the building has been refurbished with blatant care on behalf of the Innkeeper and the Encender ranked individuals who come to call this place home – even if on a temporary basis – that get roped into the building’s care and maintenance. Rooms line either wing, each of which host their own communal living spaces. The main foyer hosts a grand, lovely staircase – one hall leads back towards the galley and the Innkeep’s quarters, while the other guides visitors towards the courtyard.

The courtyard is a protected cove; the small, cracked fountain’s basin empty and coated in moss that spills into the old brickwork of the patio walkways. Fruit trees push up the old pavers, and brambles of berry bushes swallow up every corner - A side door to the galley is accessible here, as well, and just outside it is a more manicured herb garden and a few pots of cultivated plants like tobacco.

➵ Rooms

Please see our Residency page for available lodging and room information.

➵ The Galley

While the kitchen is not typically utilized, players are more than welcome to visit it.

Helping to keep this space clean is largely appreciated; the Innkeeper may often seek out Del Cenerens to come assist with said task to scour cookware, peel root vegetables, or assist with the evening meals cooked en masse for those residing within the Inn.

DEPCRECATED BELOW THIS POINT

Being the bustling, public place that it is, Charmingtown is a host to a number of old buildings, an inn, a bar, a stockyard, trading posts, and a slew of temporary housing (some in the form of pseudo tent-cities), to sate varying comfort levels of guests and new arrivals. This part of Charmingtown is the only area open to outside visitors and, while traders and travelers are welcome, many close eyes keep watch over them for any evidence of nefarious motives.

1.3 The Ugly Coyote

Nestled in the heart of Charmingtown is a lively little watering hole. What used to be a bar for the town's previous residents has been semi-restored in a project spearheaded by Boone Lykoi and Johnathan Winthrop to give traders and travelers a place to mingle with members of the coyote gang and discuss trade over revelry and drinks. Either can be referenced working in the establishment, be it tending bar, distilling spirits, or talking trade.

From the outside, one would see an old brick building of two floors with broken windows draped with curtains of buckskin. Only the bottom floor is accessible on the inside, for the staircase leading up is partitioned off with rope. A long bar stretches the length of the room, behind which, on a shelf, are bottles and jars of whiskey and shine that are distilled in-house. Several stools sit along the bar, but there are tables as well that stretch along the wall for cards and games of chance.

A friendly hearth burns in the corner.

In the back, hidden behind a buckskin flap, is a dusty room used for storage and backroom deals. A beaten old couch sits beside shelves of excess wares.

The two Ashen are open for offers, more or less, when it comes to slingin' drinks. They'll take leather, herbs, pouches, general materials, arrowheads, okay-quality gems, or other useful, non-perishable items. The boys want to make sure it can be verified as ' good ', and won't take the word of an outsider that their meat is fresh.

1.5 The Lancaster Stockyard and Livery

Boasting a swath of grassland for grazing animals, the Lancaster Stockyard and Livery houses some of Del Cenere's horses as well as its fowl. Split-rail fencing splits this area off into smaller pastures, each with a crude loafing shed or lean-to for inclement weather, while the Livery sits against a backdrop of overgrown woods. Guests, travelers, and traders are welcome to keep their horses in the stalls of the Lancaster Livery for the duration of their stay, where they will be cared for by the Gang's experienced Gauchos.

For those Ashen without private pastures, Lancaster Stockyard and Livery is one of two locations with a stable where they may house their horse. However, members of the Gang are expected to take care of their own animals and are encouraged to keep them out to pasture as much as possible.
