LOCATIONS
ARKHAM ASYLUM
The main site in Gotham City for harboring the mentally insane. The psychologically disturbed are housed here under the care of Dr. Jeremiah Arkham and his staff, but they are also in charge of looking after criminals and villains found in court to be clinically insane. For the safety of the Gotham City civillians, Arkham Asylum is located on the very fringes of the city.
THE BATCAVE
Tucked away among the caves beneath Wayne Manor, this hidden fortress is the lair of the elusive and mysterious Batman. Slowly expanding through the years, it seems to have almost everything: labs, a medical area, a workshop, a garage and hangar, a gym, and even a trophy room. All of it is full of cutting edge technology (sometimes literally!), from the Batcomputer, to the Batmobile, to the Batwing, to the many variants of the Batman costume for special missions (I sense we have a theme going there...) as well as similar equipment for his young proteges. Oh, and it also has bats. Lots and lots of bats.
WAYNE MANOR
The home of billionaire CEO of Wayne Enterprises, Bruce Wayne. The building alone takes up a good stretch of land. On the inside, elaborate marble floors and pillars make up the manor's construct, a winding staircase leading up to the multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, guest rooms, living areas, and everything else that has a duplicate on the ground floor. A popular spot for social events hosted by Bruce Wayne privately or for Wayne Enterprises, many of the elite of Gotham are well familiarized with the home, and yet couldn't be more oblivious to the secret lair beneath their very feet.
ICEBERG LOUNGE
Quite easily, the ritziest place in Gotham City. Built by Oswald Cobblepot, also known as The Penguin, the place has an eccentric arctic theme, with numerous ice sculptures and aquariums lining the walls. In the center of the building is a large habitat for leopard seals, who may or may not have an acquired taste for human flesh.
AMUSEMENT MILE
Built in the 1920s, Amusement Mile was a favorite tourist attraction in Gotham City. At the time it was built, it housed the highest ferris wheel in the United States and the world's fastest roller coaster. However, poor management eventually left the park in such disrepair that it was condemned and abandoned, only to be taken over by the Joker for a time. But it was later reclaimed and restored, once again serving tourists, but business has been slow.
GCPD POLICE HQ
Located in the business district of Gotham City, this is the headquarters of Gotham's finest. Outside, a large brick building, like many others in the city. Inside, papers are scrabbled around office spaces, the whole of it a mess. Naturally, the area for detaining prisoners isn't as nice. Perhaps a bit cleaner, but also darker and bleaker. Clearly, the Gotham City Policemen are busy people with no time to clean up.
WAYNE TOWER
Literally at the heart of Gotham City, Wayne Tower is the headquarters of Wayne Enterprises, the corporation responsible for most economic growth and thus money flowing in the city. Wayne Enterprises makes charitable donations to nearly every sector it can because it has the money to do so. The tower itself is constructed of reinforced glass and steel, the inside almost as luxurious as Wayne Manor itself.
GOTHAM STATE UNIVERSITY
Since the very first days of Gotham City being a prominent metropolitan area in the states, Gotham State University has been one of it's greater sources of pride. High roofs, a columned entrance, even a fountain encompassed by shrubbery artwork and benches before it's steps. The University is, at it's core, a place for people young and old, rich or at least well off to come and expand their mind through rigorous programs that promise to place the student who walks out of her doors with the degree of their choosing an extraordinary place to work. Internships are granted normally to the following places of employment: Arkham Asylum, Blackgate Penitentiary, Daggett Industries, Gotham City Hall, Gotham Police Department, and Wayne Enterprises.
GOTHAM CITY DOCKYARD
As the city is built upon a number of islands, there are many places to dock a boat all around the city. But these and the surrounding warehouses process most of the city's commercial shipping, in addition to many of the ferries and passenger ships that transport people between the islands, to the mainland, and even around the world.
BLACKGATE PENITENTIARY
Located on a small island in the Gotham Bay to protect the civilians of the city, Blackgate Prison is a place to house criminals who were not found to be insane. Theives, murderers, rapists, thugs, and members of the mafia are the typical sort that are found here.
MAP & HISTORICAL INFO
Gotham City is one of the oldest Eastern urban centers in the US. It nestles at the mouth of the turbid Gotham River upon islands once peopled by the vanished Miagani tribe of Native Americans. A Norwegian mercenary founded Gotham City in 1635, but the British later took it over. It was also the site for a major battle in the American Revolution.
There is also a story that 17th-century Gotham Village´s first dwelling was, in fact a asylum that predated city´s infamous Arkham Asylum. A man called Hiram was first building a chapel but his partner in crime of murder insisted it to became a sanatorium.
Gotham´s 19th-century patrons envisioned their community as a concrete and steel stronghold for pious righteousness and booming industrial growth, and for many generations the wealth and business ventures of Wayne family bolstered the city´s economy, but it is best known for it´s soaring crime rate, urban legends and Gothic spires.
