Craeky Hob

The hidden underground coblyn city whose existence is a secret/forbidden from humans. Also known as Cheapstowe.

Geographically, it lies under the Thames in London, but access ingress is via enchanted portals which open and close in peculiar ways. One of these portals can be found in Melrose Cemetery on Candlestick Row.

It is said that all lost things end up in the 'Hob and can be retrieved. The bodies of missing persons are said end up in their underground river, Kokytus.

Banshees and vampires are welcome in the Craeky Hob, but familiars are not. The Hob is governed by a synod made of the heads of the most influential coblyn clans, as well as the heads of their guilds.

Zodiakos is a popular coblyn newspaper written in Rhem.

Description

A corner of Craeky Hob

Creaky Hob is a warren of beautiful stone-work tunnels, chambers, and alcoves. Underground water is well managed in canals, and there are many fine bridges, gates, and doors. There are streets, homes, and businesses. There are fine areas and shady areas.

The Bazaar

At the heart of Craeky Hob, a maze of an open space market where one might find just about anything. The eponymous "hag market", but they don't call it that. Trade is by coin (coblyn currency) or barter.

Tyburt's Turn

A cul de sac of small, hole-in-the-wall shops. Sometimes known as ‘the turn’ because it is where you might end up if your business takes a turn for the worse. Its inhabitants often live above their shops and they are a tight-lipped lot who don’t snitch on their neighbours.

Lockes

These subterranean docks allow water-borne access to the Craeky Hob. It takes a skilled pilot to manuever the labyrinth of rivers to open water.

Magistrate

The seat of government in the Craeky Hob. It is a triumph of coblyn architecture and finishing. It houses offices, courtrooms, holding cells, and the Sphinx's lair.
