Quote:
Fletcher went off to help Ghastly, and Skulduggery and Valkyrie drove out of the city.
As they drove, he told her all about the midnight hotel.
It was run by a Sorcerer named Anton Shudder, an old friend of Skulduggery's who fought alongside him during the war with Mevolent.
Dissatisfied with the various Sanctuaries around the world, which he felt had grown too powerful and bureaucratic, he had built the hotel as a refuge for those who operated outside of official boundaries.
His guests were often outcasts or outlaws or sometimes even out-and-out criminals, but as long as they obeyed the primary rule of the hotel, all were welcome.
The Primary Rule, Skulduggery said, was simple: No violence against any guest. If a fight did break out, Shudder himself would fight on behalf of the victim, whoever it happened to be.
And no one, apparently, wanted to go up against Shudder.
Dark Days Ch. 28, The Midnight Hotel, Pg. 244-245
(Basically this is where your Agents of the Sanctuary or Freelance Sorcerer may start out if they have business to attend to, remember the rules and have fun, okay?)
