The Vortex
The Vortex is a nightclub located in Blairwood that's owned and operated by an Iron Mercenary simply known as Merc. The clubs clientele including Merc himself are primarily followers of the Virtues of the Kings Court.
Purpose / Function
The Vortex is a nightclub that is primarily used as a church of sorts for those who follow the Virtues of the Kings Court. It's viewed as an escape by those who frequent it and a severe risk by the other locals who see it as an easy way of attracting the undead.
Design
On the inside the main area is a large square area with stone walls and polished concrete floors.
Entries
The club has a main entrance, two emergency exits on the left and right sides of the building and a back door, though the emergency exits can only opened from the inside. The widows are all barred and rather high up only really serving to let it in sunlight during the day.
Sensory & Appearance
Upon entering, visitors are often greeted with the sound of booming music coming from the speakers around the room, provided by the DJ, Aaron Cadwell. The music is so loud at times it can be felt vibrating the entire building. The room is filled with various different colored lights moving around the room from the rig up above. The room is warm given the massive crowd of people gathered here and the smell at times is unpleasant because of this.
Denizens
The Vortex is primarily inhabited by followers of the Virtues of the Kings Court.
Contents & Furnishings
The club is furnished with several sofas and small tables strewn about for lounging areas as well as a bar that serves various kinds of hooch to the patrons for Cred.
Special Properties
The walls of the club have special padding used to amplify sound and project it around the building.
Alterations
Since the Fall, the building has been outfitted with several guard outposts used to post guards to defend against unwanted company, whether it be undead, raiders or anyone who would see the club shut down.
Architecture
The Vortex is a large square stone building decorated with a large neon green sign displaying it's name. On the front top corners are two large speakers which project the music from inside the club. Along the roof and out front are steel guard posts equipped with spotlights used for keeping out unwanted visitors.
History
The building functioned as a nightclub both before and after the Fall of humanity. The building was in ruin for many years until the Virtues of the Kings Court became more prominent throughout the wasteland. The building was restored by Merc and Aaron Cadwell in recent years and while it still functions as a nightclub, it also serves as a church for followers of the Virtues of the King's Court.
