Noir is a major underground city in Bankrekka, the current survival world of the Ravenkraft Network. Built by ParadigmPlague, it sits at 540, 19, −640 in region r.1.-2 — its Dynmap pin placed at y=19, deep below the surface. The city spans 126 vertical blocks, from a decorative subterranean level at y=−22 to the upper pony pens of The Shaq at y=104.
Founding[edit]
A date sign at the surface entry point (512, 72, −575) reads 7/4/2022, establishing July 4, 2022 as the earliest confirmed build date.
Vertical Layout[edit]
Noir is organized across several distinct elevations:
| Level | Y Range | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Underground | y=−22 | Decorative subterranean passage; "To: Surface" waypoint |
| XP Grinder Floor | y=14–24 | Noir Grow-op, lever-operated XP grinder, enchant shop |
| Sushi's Emporium | y=51–57 | SushiBaked's Soup and Copper shop |

| The Shaq | y=96–104 | Elevated pony pen complex; She-nay-nay; graded enclosures |
Deep Underground (y=−22)[edit]
Below the XP grinder floor, a subterranean passage at y=−22 features two decorative signs composed of box-drawing characters and a crescent moon glyph (☽), forming a stylized ASCII banner. A directional sign — "To: Surface" — marks the ascent route back to the main city.
XP Grinder and Enchant Shop[edit]
The city's economic core sits at y=14–24. A large lever-operated XP grinder offers two modes:
- Levers down — to get XP passively
- Levers up — to grind XP actively
A `/trigger ch_toggle` sign at (536, 18, −631) provides chat-toggle access. Adjacent to the grinder, a name sign at (539, 19, −635) reads Noir Grow-op.
Enchant Shop Inventory[edit]
An extensive enchanted book shop occupies (553–561, 20–21, −600 to −623). A central "almost OP" display sits at (553, 21, −618). Books available include:
Swords / Melee: Sharpness, Looting, Sweeping Edge, Knockback, Fire Aspect, Smite
Armor: Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, Projectile Protection, Thorns, Respiration, Aqua Affinity, Feather Falling, Depth Strider, Frost Walker
Tools: Efficiency, Silk Touch, Fortune, Mending, Unbreaking

Fishing / Trident: Lure, Luck of the Sea, Loyalty, Riptide, Channeling, Impaling
A "multiple genres" section at (556, 20, −620) groups cross-category books. The shop represents one of the most complete enchant inventories documented in Bankrekka.
Sushi's Soup and Stolen Copper Emporium[edit]
At y=51–57, SushiBaked operates her signature shop. Multiple exterior signs advertise the establishment:
Sushi's Soup and Stolen Copper Emporium! Home of sussy soupies ;)

Main City Level (y=80–95)[edit]
District Directory[edit]
Directional signs at the main city level form a navigation hub:
- West Market ← (530, 82, −615)
- Garden District ← (537, 81, −602)
- Nether Portal ← (578, 82, −614)

B 'n' B Public House & Inn[edit]
A multi-floor inn occupies (557–566, 83–88, −625 to −627). Signs on two floors read "B 'n' B Public House & Inn" and "B 'n' B Inn Lodging," confirming a two-level establishment. Public Stables are located nearby at (556, 91, −653).
Trash Horses[edit]
A sign at (532, 80, −620) marks a horse disposal bin: Trash Horses — Leave them in the Bin, where they BELONG…<3 — a humorous fixture for unwanted mounts.
Message Board[edit]
Two "Message Board" header signs frame a visitor register at (557–560, 88–91, −664). A decorative ☽ motif sign (Noir's recurring ASCII emblem) is mounted above the board. The following inscriptions were recovered:
| Location | Text | Attribution | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| (557, 88, −664) | "jet fuel cant melt steel beams" | Krekka591 | — |
| (558, 88, −664) | "lina is here again x2" | Linatic | 09/08/2023 |

Pony Passway[edit]
A corridor at (599, 95, −686) leads east toward The Shaq: "Welcome to the Pony Passway! Path coming soon!" A note at (620, 91, −677) reads: I busted out the Wall. I'm not sorry. <3 Sophie — an informal expansion of the corridor.
An automated sorter along the eastern approach carries a technical note at (739, 94, −691): "m/s Rate = 780 divided by items in chest" — a hopper-speed calibration formula.

The Shaq is an elevated structure at (660, 102, −714), reached via the Pony Passway. An entrance sign reads:
Welcome to the start of quite a special place — The Shaq…
— Entrance, (660, 102, −714)
The Shaq is centered on She-nay-nay, a named horse described as "like the sword in the stone — just waiting 4 the 1." A graded pony pen system occupies the surrounding enclosures:
