The Setting
The unseen Inquisitors
This is the unseen Inquisitors headquarters. They extract answers here, record them, file them and connect the strings. Here is probably the biggest library of the cities current events, personas and their agendas. The unseen Inquisitors work for the city upper council, formed by the big noble houses. Their mission is to keep the status quo intact.
The billhook prison
Infamous for its anarchy, the bellhook prison is run by its inmates. After the criminal gangs had proven themselves to be uncontrollable, they struck an inofficial deal with the city. As long as they keep deaths low and don’t leave the prison, they are left alone. Every inmate is therefore at the mercy of the rivaling gangs, without any chance for help. If the cards are played correctly, however, an enemy might turn into an ally.
The sheriff’s keep
The sheriff is the cities first peacekeeper. Originally one of the noble houses, his line conceded power in the council for the privilege of running the cities police forces. They are tasked with combating the crime, originally, but this is like trying to contain water with a siv. While they keep up a face of keeping the peace, what they actually investigate is furthening the current sheriff’s agenda. Their methods are as brutal as the crime they should stop, so the only thing separating a cop from a criminal is his club is ocfficial.
