	In November, 1969, 90 Native Americans sailed from Sausalito in the pre-dawn hours to take possession of the Rock. National attention focused on them and the issue of Native American rights while government efforts to remove them from the island continually failed. Life on the cold, bleak island was hard, though, and despite donations from many concerned groups and individuals, the number of occupants dwindled. In June of 1970 a fire sprang up, destroying two historic buildings and a lighthouse dating from 1854. A year later, federal marshals moved in and escorted the few remaining protestors off the island. The island is now administered by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and can be visited by ferry during daylight hours.

	Alcatraz is one of the few spots that even the Kithain of the Bay Area leave alone. While there have been a great many nightmares about the place, there have been few dreams, and Glamour is scarce there. In addition, the site is potent Haunt, attended by scores of Hierarchy wraiths who are themselves besieged by the Renegades and Heretics of San Francisco. The intangible combat between these two forces pours enough violent emotion into the waking world for the Kithain to suddenly drop into Bedlam here, just from the psychic spillover from the warring ghosts.

	~~For more on this~~ glade, ~~see~~ the ~~article~~ The Irish ~~Garden~~.		The Irish Garden is a Glade in the Duchy of Goldengate in the Kingdom of Pacifica.

			The most potent glade Golden Gate Park, the Irish Garden is in the relatively low-key exhibit of flowers transplanted from Ireland. The nunnehi have avoided the site for time out of mind, even though there is a tremendous surge of Glamour here. None have yet been able to understand why a very nice, but hardly spectacular arrangement of flowers, has such a charge of enchantment hovering around it. Theories as to why the exceptionally large roses and other flowers have such an otherworldly potence to them include everything from the power inherent in a handful of Irish soil (hogwash) to the idea that the park is actually a werewolf caern. The latter argument is somewhat undermined by the fact that no Garou will actually come near the place. And so the debates rage, but no one really cares as long as the Glamour is plentiful and the skies are blue.

	~~See~~ the ~~article~~ The ~~Japanese~~ Tea Garden		The Japanese Tea Garden is one of the strongest freeholds within Golden Gate Park proper. The tremendous effort and devotion out into sculpting the plants and landscape of this particular area has produced dividends on both the aesthetic and the spiritual level. To the enchanted eye, the Tea Garden looks almost precisely identical to its appearance in the mundane world. Most Kithain old enough to understand realize what a great compliment this is to the gardeners.

	~~See~~ the ~~article The~~ Hunting Grounds
			Just below the east face of Telegraph Hill, the Hunting Grounds are where nobles of Duke Aeon’s court go to slay dragons. Well, perhaps not dragons, but all other kinds of chimeric beasts lurk in the tumbled stone beneath the teetering homes of the wealthy. Monsters from Under the Bed, gone feral since the beds they lurked under vanished, skulk behind weeds and under piles of broken rock, extending their long arms to catch unwary changelings. Imaginary Friends, seduced and abandoned by their long-gone Kithain companions, form gangs of vengeful chimera who seek to take their vengeance out on any intruders. Other, less identifiable beasts lurk here as well. Here is where the abandoned chimera of San Francisco come to seek solace, and here is where the nobles come to hunt them. Sir Cumulus is the current Warden of the Ducal Game Preserve, and his duties as such consist primarily of making certain that none of the hunters become themselves the hunted. There have been numerous fatalities in chimeric combat, and to be counted among those fallen here has become almost a token of perverse pride. Lately, commoners have taken to sneaking into the Ducal Preserve, bagging a few chimera, and then strolling out. This drives Sir Cumulus positively apoplectic, and as much at the thought of the Preserve being emptied while his responsibility as out of concern for the daring poachers who intrude upon his tiny fief.

	~~For more~~, ~~see~~ the ~~article Alcatraz~~ (~~WOD~~).		Overview
			The island prison of Alcatraz is a favorite tourist spot, drawing nearly a million visitors a year. A barren rock swept by old winds coming through the Golden Gate, it was believed by the local Miwok tribes to be the haven of evil spirits. First made a military prison in 1859, after extensive improvements over the decades it was transferred to the U.S. Prison Bureau in 1933. The government, deciding it needed a “super prison” for its most dangerous charges, increased security on the island then moved in such well-known criminals as Machine Gun Kelly, Alvin “Kreepy” Karpis, Robert Stroud (the “Birdman of Alcatraz”), and Al Capone. In 1946, the prison endured a riot that lasted several days and left three inmates dead. In 1963, a year after a successful escape by three inmates (it has never been learned if the escapees made it safely to the mainland), the prison was officially closed and the island abandoned.
