Sunset District

The Sunset District is the home of Surket's night life, home to more brothels and bars than any other district. Casinos, brothels, nightclubs, and all sorts of other forms of entertainment and pleasure fill the streets, which are bustling with activity every night. People from all across Surket flock here nightly to spend their hard-earned pay for some creature comforts.

Desire is the cardinal sin of the Sunset District, and all within it feel it. The Echo family runs the district from their casino and brothel The Siren's Song. If the Sunset District feeds on desire then Luna Echo is that desire incarnate. She is rumored to be half succubus, preying upon the weak willed atop her casino empire. In truth, she is simply a powerful and sharp businesswoman, using others' baser instincts against them with powerful enchantments and illusions. She controls much of the district and acts as Consul to the Council of Surket.

If drink or sex aren't your forte, the Sunset District has more it can offer. The Pit is a massive underground fighting ring where people square off against wild animals or each other in fights to the death. Thousands gather every night to watch the bloody affairs, often gambling on who or what will win. The Pit is run by the Fredis family, lead by notorious gangster Freddy Fredis. The Pit has been growing in popularity, and the Fredis family has been buying out more and more of the Sunset District recently. Most believe that there will be something of a war between the Echos and the Fredises soon, though both have so far been coldly polite with one another.

As the hub of night life, the Sunset District shines like a beacon for all the creatures that lurk in the darkness and prey upon the mortal world. That is why the Sunset District is home to an order of inquisitors known as the Guardians of the Dawn. They protect the district from vampires and other undead who prowl around at night. Due to the secretive nature of the creatures they hunt, the Guardians generally do not make themselves known among the population, instead preferring to wander the Sunset District undercover, only exposing themselves when they have to.

Other features of the Sunset District include a modest Society for Ethical Necromantic Arts (SENA) clinic that specializes in treating alcohol poisoning and sexually transmitted diseases. There is also the Surket-famous Merry Manticore Brewing Company, which has numerous branches within the city. The Bardic Inspiration Bar and Inn also regularly features live music, which people flock to see as many up-and-coming bards play there. Finally, there is the Lazarus Lounge, a nightclub near the cliffs that is frequented by several of the city's elite.
