From the long winding road through the forest that leads to the Eastern Facade of the main building to the lake behind the school, the 300 acre campus has a lot to see and explore. The gate is locked after curfew and when school is not in session, otherwise a security guard must open it to allow passage in or out. A forest surrounds the sporting fields, the campus and the lake leading to high walls and the Western boundary cliffs that line the Pacific Ocean. Rumor has it that an underground passage leads all the way out to the Breakers, but that it is too dangerous to use as it opens quite suddenly to a sheer cliff face. And that if you aren't careful you may end up plummeting more than five stories down into the rock strewn surf below. Not many have found it nor are there many living who can recount or recant the validity of such a rumor.

From the entrance hall to the reception rooms and faculty offices on the East, to the large dining hall, red curtained theatre, this floor contains most of the public spaces where students and faculty may entertain visitors without a pass.

Most of the academic classrooms are held on this floor as are several communal spaces for the students including study lounges for each grade level. The library is located in the North Tower and rises from the second to the fourth floor and contains almost every book ever printed. The occult section centering on magic is rather extensive though some of these books are locked within a room just off the fourth floor balcony.

Wings stretch outward toward the west providing the privileged views of the lake and forest. One Wing contains the freshman dorms, baths and lounge. The other offers housing to the sophomores and nearly mirrors the design of the other wing, with the exception that there are more private baths. The upper reaches of the dining hall and on opposite corners the theatre and library take up what space is not allotted for on-campus guest housing for parents and faculty.

This floor houses the juniors on the south side of the building with larger rooms and private baths adjoining each. The northern side contains communal rooms used for classrooms, meeting rooms for clubs, a faculty lounge, faculty offices and on one corner the library.

The seniors sleep and lounge just above the juniors and as on the lower floor the opposite side houses a few classrooms, two faculty apartments each located on each northern corner. There are several locked store rooms and classrooms on this floor. A secret passage connects this floor to the two above as others lead to a private elevator and a winding stair that bypasses the other floors and leads to the second floor below. Some passages and hidden stairs may even lead below ground.

Beneath what is considered Saint Valentines School's main public floor lie several floors dedicated to serving the massive building above. A series of kitchens lie within one wing, each very clearly representing progress through the centuries and help to feed the many students and faculty in attendance. Beyond that an underground bowling alley with four lanes, a large game room, service staff offices and old servant quarters complete the first of these floors. Beneath that the sub-basement is used for food storage and mechanical systems, such as the furnaces, water heaters and cooling systems. What is not often discussed are the tunnels that lie even deeper still, nor the ruins of a home and school long forgotten on which the current school now stands. Enter the tunnels at your own risk.

General Shoppes and Restaurants located in the oldest section of town, near the old Courthouse Square and fountain. Everyone is trying to sell you something, from fancy restaurants selling 100 dollar snails to a crazy man trying to convince you to buy his shoe. You really can find anything if you look hard enough.

A nice little walk through the park might do you some good. Unless it's Mooreland Park, of course. Be careful after dark. The area's oldest cemetery lies on it's southern border and word has it that not all of the graves are occupied. The town's only hospital lies at the park's northern edge and is named after a Doctor buried due south of it's main entrance.

Somewhere between the rocky cliffs and docks, there is an actual stretch of beach where the noises of the city fade away to give way to the sound of oversexed teenagers and loud vacationing families. The home of a large number of resort communities in recent years, the North Shore has developed it's own pocket community of restaurants, seasonal shoppes and vacation condominiums. The South Shore is known for the fishing docks and marinas that rest along the deep waters of the bay and some of the oldest homes in the area. Farther south there is a exclusive country club and golf course. Beyond that, the road travels down to places like San Francisco and eventually Los Angeles and San Diego.

Everyone comes from somewhere. For those places not so conveniently located near Hart. Because even rich boys and magicians still have to go home for the holidays. The rest of the west coast, the country and the world.
