BMU Cravenrest

Cravenrest is a city located west of Bloodmoon High School and borders the Dark, Misty Forest. The northwestern part of the city is coastal and has ports, docks, and a beach to access the ocean. The western side of the city is mostly industrial and has been left mostly undeveloped until recently. No roads lead out of Cravenrest to the west. The center section of Cravenrest is often called "town", as much of what happens in the city takes place in the center, and ocasionally in the other parts. The south side of the city is mostly residential, with a school and some commercial development that is community focused. Beyond the city limit, to the south, is Blackwood Farm, and beyond that the Blackwood Marsh. While the city has grown since its founding, it has never expanded beyond its eastern limit, 2.1 kilometers from the school.

Much of the early history of Cravenrest is unwritten, though some clues could be found in the historical record. It was settled by The Founder, who first discovered the School. He settled the town where it is in order to accomodate the students that attended Bloodmoon. The town would eventually be populated by the family and descendants of those students, as well as researchers who came to study the rare Bloodmoon that would appear only in this part of the world.

As the town grew, and the School drew more curious individuals, the Powers also took notice and sent agents to investigate the affairs of mortals and this odd beacon of mythic lore called the School. With the increased population there gradually began the arrival of creatures that were not exactly human. Monsters.

After the first age humans came to distrust non-humans. As time progressed the hostility the humans of Cravenrest showed those they deemed Monsters became charged and violent. In response to the hostility, the Founder passed the School on to the Dean, and under the Dean the school began to house and protect monster-kind.

Since the dawn of the Third Age, Cravenrest has served as the backdrop for a universal struggle, with men and moonsters at the forefront of history. Now, in the Fourth Age, after being rebuilt following the Forgotten War, Cravenrest has become the capitol of humanity on the Western Continent and new investments are being made into it's infrastructure and commercial growth.
