Information[]
Institute[]
Found here is the Shanghai Institute, the seat of the local Conclave.
Homes[]
- The Ke family has their ancestral home here. It has stood for hundreds of years and predates the Institute itself.[1]
Shadow World[]
- Downworlder Concession—in the 19th century, when Shanghai was being divided up into international concessions, the Downworlders of the city got their own concession. Today just about all the Downworlders in the city live within its borders (along with some Sighted mundanes).
- A Shadow Market can be found in the Concession. Because they do not have to use glamours or hide in this area, the Sunlit Shadow Market is open 24/7 as a market place.
- The smithy of legendary faerie weaponsmiths Mo Ye and Gan Jiang can be found off the main square of the Market.
- The city is also home to one of the greatest wonders of Downworld: The Celestial Palace. The Celestial Palace is a faerie run bookstore at the end of the Market.[1]
Trivia[]
- The city is well-known to be a safe place with few demons and good relations between Shadowhunters and Downworlders.
- The largest Nephilim weapons cache can be found in Xujiahui Cathedral.
- In the demon dimension of Diyu, there exists a Reverse Shanghai. All the same buildings exist but twisted and landscapes may find themselves inverted.[1]
