The Forge can be classified as a nightclub only because it is a club that is open at night. This live music venue is more in the vein of a cross between [http://www.cbgb.com/history/ CBGB] and [[Club Raven]] than [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_54 Studio 54] or [[Nox]]. It was opened in 2011 and operated by an unknown in the night life scene named [[Spartan|Caster Karalis]], but has since passed hands to [[Duncan]].

==Information==
 
-
The main room is dominated by an industrial strength stage made from wood, Masonite and black diamond plating against the backdrop of twisted chains, concrete blocks, and chain link fencing. On either side, acid stained concrete bars stretch the entire length of the nightclub, ending with a hallway that leads to either the men's or women's restrooms. There are only a few small tables and stools scattered about, in addition to  a couple of pool tables located at the farthest end from the stage, but no real seating areas. It’s just a big open space, with a floor that has a Masonite-like material covering bare concrete. Near the main entrance, a set of stairs lead up to a mezzanine and what looks like an office of some sort. The stairs have a metal gate marked ''PRIVATE''. Under the mezzanine is what looks like a functional forge with a chimney going up through the roof to let the smoke out. Surrounded by a chain link fence, it isn't accessible to patrons, but they can still watch from a safe distance as local artists shape glowing metal with the traditional tools of hammer, anvil, and determination. Some of the metalworker's creations are on display behind the fence and can be purchased at the coat check counter near the entrance. This small gift shop also displays music by local musicians, t-shirts and shot glasses emblazoned with the nightclub's logo, and concert memorabilia in addition to the usual punk and heavy metal fashion accessories.

The whole former factory space is made out of metal, Plexiglas, and concrete. The only things moving any air in the place, besides sweaty bodies,  are some slowly rotating industrial sized ceiling fans hanging from the steel rafters. If there are any air conditioners, they never seemed to be turned on outside of the office upstairs. The Forge wasn't built to be kind or helpful to anyone. It is built for a singular purpose, to listen to music, and punish bodies. No cuddly shit here.

===Notes===
 
-
* A Fight Cage is suspended from the ceiling on heavy duty winches that can be activated to lower the cage on fight night.
 
-
* The mezzanine area is a VIP lounge of sorts, reserved for fellow [[Changeling|Lost]] and trusted guests in their company. This private lounge has a pool table and comfortable couches in addition to a complimentary self-service bar for these special guests of the owner.

==Sunday Bloody Sunday==
 
-
The Second Sunday of every month, The Forge is closed for everyone but a very select clientele. Men and Woman looking to fight. A Cage is set up, like an MMA octogon, only without the padding. This is gladiator night, a night for warriors who are not afraid to get bloody and hurt. Just like a mosh pit, but with a cash prize.
