Dankmar

This article discusses the chantry of Dankmar as it pertains to Radio Noir.

Once a prominent chantry in the Order of Hermes, Dankmar was languishing in obscurity for centuries, until it was the first to fall under the control of the Goethean Party in 1831. The Goetheans poured their energies into rebuilding the decrepit hilltop fortress, even managing to strengthen the all-but-depleted Node it was built on. Since these efforts began, two other nodes have been connected to the chantry. In 1893, construction began to expand the old stronghold and today it towers over the Rhine Valley in all its neo-Gothic splendor.

The chantry is the Domus Magnum of House Lictori Ex Miscellanea, the secret police of the Goethean Party. The Horizon Realm of Dankmar, called the Cellar, is a subterranean dungeon-complex, where enemies of the Party are taken for interrogation. The dark, brick corridors are lit by torches and muted screams can always be heard here.

Dankmar is one of the spiritual centers of the Thule Society and for the last five years, there have been Equinox rituals taking place here with up to 300 Sleeper participants.
