In the Main Hall, all students at the Kagim Sacred Heart Academy have their meals. They also gather here when there are important announcements to be made.

The classrooms are where lessons and tutoring take place. Teachers can normally be found here even when they have no lessons to teach.

Students keep all their possessions in the dormitories, where they all have beds. Boys are not allowed in the girls' dormitories and girls are not allowed in the boys' dormitories, even in the day.

The kitchens are where all meals are made. They are always busy, because of the number of students they have to feed. They are off-limits to all students, but that doesn't stop an occasional raid.

This theatre and music hall is one of the city's most glamorous buildings. Its interior is made mostly of marble and gold, the doorways are separated by curtains of red silk and the view of the stage from every thickly-cushioned seat is spectacular. The Theatre is used as a training venue for the Academy when it isn't holding performances.

A number of sporting fields, gardens and training areas make up the Academy Grounds. In the summer, students like to picnic here, whilst in the winter snowball fights are commonplace.

The place where you can find all that your bookworm needs. This is the only library in Haven and its resources are almost limitless. Whatever you're looking for, you're sure to find it here.

The city is always a busy place: buses, trains and trams are always full of people and everyone always seems to have someplace to be. There are always things to do and places to see. New buildings are being built all the time and the city is forever expanding.

Central Park is, as it states, a park in the center of the city. It is a pleasant place not far from the Library. There are ice cream stalls, coffee shops and picnic benches all around the park. From here, no part of the city is far away.

Strange things happen to people who get lost down these streets. You can be sure to find many a strange thing lurking in the darkness. Don’t think for one minute that only the less desirable humans wander here waiting to steal from you: there are also other things that are eager to steal your life. A part of the Back Alleys house most of the homeless people; no one really cares about them and thus they are allowed to stay there. However, sometimes a few of them go missing.

Almost anything could be found in the Warehouse District, from legitimate business to shady dealings. Just be careful that you know what you're doing. In one of the large warehouses you can find the Silverberg research facilities. Heavily guarded and heavily monitored; unless you have a reason for being there you won’t be sticking around for long. It is here where Melchior does his research. Mostly for technology that will better help his family defend the child of hope although some items of interest make their way to the public to boost the family coffers.

Club Dakota is the hottest club in town and everyone who’s anyone comes here to let loose. Don't be surprised if you find yourself running into some big name celebrities; just remember no autographs in this place. In here we are all the same.

A place that never sleeps, this place is for every chocoholic's needs and it is constantly filled with people. Let me paint you the picture: warm, candles glowing, shimmering in the shiny chocolate sauce as it’s poured over sweet dishes. Steady rhythms fill the air along with the chocolatey scent that intoxicates the guests to stay just a little longer. This place is one you just have to experience.

This café is a little different to your normal everyday café, instead of just being a place to buy coffee and maybe sit down to have some sweets. It has been set up to be like a cozy cottage. There is a fireplace in the corner with old comply couches around it; well really, there aren’t very many chairs here at all that aren’t couch chairs. This is the perfect place for people to just chill out, relax and read the newspaper.

Even Haven has fast food outlets. McHaven is everyone's favourite place to grab a quick bite to eat. With prices so cheap you'll wonder what they're feeding you, McHaven rakes in the customers.

Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saison is the most prestigious restaurant in all of Haven. It's class is second to none along with its food, however if your not someone finely dressed then their service towards you could be seen as questionable. Don't let that deter you though, coming here is an experience and a half that you'll never forget.

This ten-screen cinema has all the latest films on show. It may look like a plain building on the outside, but inside the lobby its bright lights, its vibrant colours and the smell of fresh popcorn make it the liveliest place in Haven.

The bowling alley is the favourite meeting place of the students of Haven. There is also an arcade here for those who don't feel like bowling or have some loose change.
