Welcome to the Nav Park. A park owned by
the Slavic God Veles.
It is a strange place that is both a bit unnerving and relaxing. It borders his own farmland, where he produces all kinds of grains, fruits and vegetables. It is off-limits. He sells to the majority of restaurants in the city now, and most of the stuff you can buy at the local market comes from him.
Special thing about the Nav Park is that Riders, other Servants and people with phantasmals and other beasts leave their trusted mounts there to let them have some vacation too.
Part of the Nav Park. It is less of a zoo and more like a safari zone where all kinds of phantasmals from mages and servants roam free to relax in the sun as well.
Veles cares for them, and they return to their owners in better shape than ever, exceeding their usual performance.

The local market where chef servants and casters gather to find ingredients. From mundane ingredients to extraordinary wares under the counter, one can find many things there.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The restaurant of
Vivaldi-Hippotades. The best Italian cuisine in town. Located in a part of the old town, not too far from the beach, it has a certain Mediterranean flair to it. It is in a backstreet and doesnt get too many visitors, but customers are loyal and advertise his food. Vivaldi orders his ingredients from Nav Park.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The local ice cafe. It became pretty popular recently after offering bubble tea and bubble waffles, too. But the main reason it got so famous is most likely the social media coverage.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
One of the free high class offices of a recently built office building was finally rented by a new entrepreneur. It still looks shabby compared to the top floor, where the Queen of Sheba operates her businesses.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The history of the town is rich, and there was a time when it was a partner town to a now destroyed town in the Middle East. During a crisis, some families moved there and brought their culture with them, establishing a little district over the years that draws attention from Muslim tourists. A mosque is there too, that is currently under renovation.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The only museum in the area. The owner is described as...eccentric, mixing art and science museum in one and basically adding anything to the collection if someone approaches them. Like
a no-name artist who wanted a whole just for his glass art. It is said it perfectly reflects the indecisiveness of the city, who can not choose if it wants to become a modern city or wants to stay a charming old town.
For this summer it presents some maritime exemplars. Some seem quite old but its hard to tell what they are.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The local library appears as nothing noteworthy. A few years ago a strange book was found, but no one could make sense of it. Perhaps there are more of them?
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
An abandoned building on the edge of town. Records of what happened there are lost. Older folks say it is haunted. Teenagers like to drink and party there in peace. "Artists" learn here to use their spraycans, because the city is really harsh on streetart of that kind. Especially popular during halloween.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The local mall is filled with all kinds of shops. From sports accessories to a large electronics store, there is most stuff anyone could need. People sometimes complain about the management...
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
A charming little ramen shop with a small menu but each meal is prepared with love. It still receives mixed reviews on Yelp.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
A popular meeting spot. The fountain marks the middle of the city. It is located above the intersection of some weak leylines. There are rumors that from time to time at night dim symbols shine on the side. What symbols? Uncertain.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The great stadium - the main attraction of the city. It can basically host any kind of sports event. Different stars performed there and draw visitors from across the country. It is pretty high tech and several millionaires invested in it. It appears interesting for the moonlit world too.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
An event venue near the beach. It is currently reserved and is preparing for a wedding ceremony. It remains a surprise who the happy couple may be.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
A millionaire recently sold this luxurious house for unknown reasons. The new owner is expected to appear at the wedding ceremony.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The local church. A beautiful example of the diverse architecture of Serendell. It is even more beautiful on the inside. It seems to be often visited by other priests, even a cardinal from another country was once spotted there.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
A lighthouse. Neither really old, nor new. The owner changed recently, but no one has seen the new one yet. It made some headlines recently.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
There is a small hill on the edge of town. A family tends to three graves that overlook the sea.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The whole town's pride and joy is their neat and tidy park. It is in pristine conditions. People come here to relax from their work and for dates. Littering is punished harshly - if not by law enforcement, then by citizens. It is closed for all in the night from wednesday to thursday. No one asks why.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The region had a pretty wet and mild winter. It led to a landslide and revealed a cave system outside of town. The public is kept mostly unaware. Rumors have it that explorers went missing in there or at least did not return to the city.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
A former greenhouse was rebuilt to house a water park. Visitors can both enjoy the slides and pools and all kinds of different exotic vegetation. Some rare species may wander around too. It is popular among those who dislike salt water and don't want to drive outside the city to visit the lake. And it can be visited all year. Competitive water athletes are regulars here. There is a decent restaurant in there too.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
A bit outside the city is a clear lake. Campers and Anglers love this place. There is an established nudist section because the city doesn't allow full nudity on the beach to not scare away the tourists.
A certain Greek Goddess pushed this decision...
Needless to say, some perverts and voyeurs sully the reputation at times...
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
A beautiful promenade, perfect for a stroll along all the charming shops. The streets are broad and well maintained, so all with vehicles feel the urge to drive around and enjoy the scenery. It overlooks a section of the beach that is used for different events like public viewings and little concerts that are not big enough or too niche to fill the stadium.
This beach section also provides a great view of the Stadium and when the wind is just right, the music and cheers of the audience are audible clearly in this part of town.
it is also a spot for different street performers that want to make it big one day and the typical shady vendors that sell cheap sunglasses and their mixtapes.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The Serendell beaches. Clear water, white sands, what else could you wish for? Not too far from the shore is a coral reef. There are several spots to play sports like beach volleyball, football, badminton, etc.
There is also the watchtower of
a little brat that pretends to be the greatest lifeguard. Woman flock to them anyway, much to the dismay of men who want female attention.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
A little spot at the beach where the muslim community likes to meet. Here they smoke shisha, share their delicious snacks and discuss whatever comes to their minds. They are very welcoming, so it is not unusual to see young people sit with them and smoke the sweet tobacco.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The infamous beach bar.
A strange barkeeper asks personal questions and gives unwanted advice. The drinks are damn great, though. It also acts as the only surfboard, diving equipment and banana boat rental around.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The last view. A scenic section of the beach, but it got a sad reputation now. Serendell is beautiful, but not always can it hide the stories of those who can not bear life any longer. Good-hearted Samaritans often patrol this area.
════════════════════════════════════╣╠════════════════════════════════════
The mountain path. During summer nights, teenagers do their typical walk through the darkness to show how brave they are. It leads outside the city toward an old temple. Urban legends have it that at times wandering lights and dark apparitions are seen. Most likely the monks.
