Heart House

Source
Found by the Wandering Monster, deep in the Student Ghetto in Wizard City Hexcrawl.

The Student Ghetto is a nasty and depressing place on even its best day. The narrow wending streets are caked in layer upon layer of garbage grime - broken bottles, rotting furniture, cheap food, vomit. Follow the trail of garbage and regret from fraternity to fraternity and inevitably it shall lead you to the district's center, Heart House.

Murders of dire ravens feast upon impaled bloody hearts, some nailed to surfaces high and others left to rot in the street. Sometimes they're impaled and tied together in pairs, like bloody bolas, and thrown over trees and other sharp lips.

It’s quiet, but for the subtle writhing of viscera as they protest the scene. It smells like death - death and fun drugs. Brothers of the Fraternity stand in every corner, cloaked and hooded in black, watching for signs. One offers you trinkets at the cost of hearts, no questions asked.
