Crimson Beech

Crimson Beech is a fictional town located in the New England area of the United States. It is home to two conflicting Vampire covens in the Immortal Desires series.

Geography

Crimson Beech is located in the New England region of the United States. It is located near the coast, for William Pearce noted it to be close to a port.

History

Crimson Beech was founded in 1623 by William Pearce, James Blackwood, Wakefield and Hotchkins, all vampire hunters. The town was named for its extremely unusual trees, which seemed to retain their autumn colors all year round. During 1623, or perhaps earlier, the town was also settled by two covens of Vampires, the Venandi and Clement families. These families preyed on the townspeople, killing three of the four founders.

Later, the town's high school was constructed around the ancient library of the town. By the time you and your mother moved to town in the 21st century, it was becoming known for a series of brutal murders, all happening in the woods surrounding the town but never within the town itself. Unbeknownst to most humans, this is because it is against the rules of both covens to hunt inside the town boundaries.

During the Autumn Festival, the locals partake in the Ritual of Good Fortune, which is said to have happened since the beginnings of the town.

Facilities

The town is relatively small in size, consisting of a school, library, hospital, arcade, boutique, and clock tower. There are extensive woodlands surrounding the town. Beneath the town is a massive subterranean lair, known as The Nexus, home to the Vampire covens' chambers, including a court for punishing offenses made by vampires. Humans are also occasionally subjected to trials in the court if they appear to be a threat to the colonies.
