No one feels safe in the woods around Norfolk, and that's a fact. Since the opening of the town's mine and the attraction of individuals towards it's success there have rumors of unnatural occurrences. My sources recall a wide variety of otherwordliness in their tellings - wolves standing on hind legs, echoing screams or sobs with no source, strange shapes flitting across the moon - and while others might dismiss that as a symptom of their unreliability, I have always held an alternative theory: Norfolk is a queer place that many queer things have made their home. However, I can't say that I expected to witness my town's strangeness quite so directly as I did in the woods that night in the Spring, alongside two unexpected new friends. I hope they will not take issue with my characterization of the events to follow...
Here, the excerpt from The Norfolk Register cuts off. The date is missing, but the curator has assured you that the article was written somewhere around 1850, prior to the Boom that would create the Divot. The piece appears to be part of an ongoing column called "The Hidden Door" written by one Mr. Guthrie Lemon.

Before the Gateway Demon, before The City, and before even the explosion that created the Divot, Norfolk began as a small mining town in the mid 1800s; a quiet stop on a railway line from here to there. But, since it's founding atop a lucrative mine, things have moved in the town's shadow.
Let's start from the beginning...

The smell of acrid gunsmoke marks the beginning of a final, bloody conflict in the First St. Mary's Church of Norfork - but to end it will require sacrifice. May a god have mercy on their souls.

All over Norfork we see moments: a doctor checks with their patients, a crowd leaves a club, a magician flips off the last buzzing fluorescent over a group of folding chairs, a clerk idles the hours of a new job away, a lawyer sits in a darkened office rubbing his eyes.
They feel what is coming, even if they can't put their fingers on it yet. The opportunity for change hangs in the air like smoke - and there's no choice but to breathe deeply and hold it, waiting.
The vote is about to begin.

ORGANIZATIONS
The City: A city founded near Norfork that has been aggressively expanding for the last 20 years. This faction includes the police force of the City, the City Council, and its various bureaucratic tentacles.Norfork Town Council: An elected group of representatives that serves Norfork. Currently clinging to their role as bureaucratic arbiters, even as the City’s council attempts to cast them as a vestigial holdover. Colloquially referred to as “city council” (lowercase “c”), much to everyone’s consternation.
Norfork Parent’s Assemblage (N.P.A.): A group of mothers in Norfolk dedicated to improving the community of Norfork. They are often at odds with the City council. They are very powerful, but also often rife with internal conflict.
The Dread Ringers: A vampire “mob” led by the arch-vampire Carmichael. They run a network of clubs throughout the City. They have recently expanded into Norfork thanks to a combination of new construction and a “community watch”, which they use as a guise to carry out various unsavory activities.
Relegated Production Industries (R.P.I.): Officially, a City-backed construction management company. They have just developed the land inside of the Divot into a business park, where they are putting the finishing touches on their new headquarters. Unofficially… maybe something else.
The Star Society: A group of 15-20 amateur astronomers seeking out the clearest skies in Norfork. They are a mix of townies and City folk, but townies always know the best spots and for some reason
The City folk can’t seem to get images that are as clear from where they live…The Dark Abbey: Fans of the
influencer and fashion vlogger Glymmer AKA Aina Steen. Treated very seriously. Meetups are usually by invitation only, and they’ve begun to hold raves in the derelict mining tunnels beneath Norfork. Their symbol looks like a little cartoony black castle.
Norfork Street Artists: A unofficial group of street artists that have been pushed underground after the City’s influence began to spread in Norfork. You can still find their elegant designs under the overpasses and in alleys, but it’s nothing like it once was.The Midnight Bower: A drag and burlesque group in Norfork. Always in search of their next iconic performance.

-
The people of Norfork go about their day, most blissfully unaware of just how close they came to possession. Those who pick themselves up from the pavement or find themselves behind the wheel in the middle of the night shake their heads - the stress must really be getting to them.
They have other problems, after all - bigger than forgetting they had bought six dozen eggs, or hawking up a bit of black gunk.
Have you heard about the raves? In the tunnels? A recipe for disaster. And the new “community watch”? How were you supposed to feel safe? The Norfork liaison is out for herself, the old high school leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and the cops? Well, when’s the last time they helped more than hurt?
And so, a choice becomes clear: will we invest in ourselves? Or will we accept that this is life now - taking the City’s gifts alongside its curses?

Arc #2 finale. With only hours left before Norfork loses itself entirely to the exponential threat to the Strangleworm, the trio make one final play for the fate of their home. But how many losses turn a victory to a defeat?
If you do this, you are putting all of Norfork at risk. All of your friends, people with no choice but to deal with the consequences. Please, I’m asking you to reconsider.
She warned me of the risks.
She doesn’t understand them, or she wouldn’t have told you to come.
I can’t go on like this.
Your pain is not an excuse. Not here. Leave, please. Please.
I’m sorry. I’ll fix it. I can fix it. Whatever happens.

A dumpster. A rooftop. A hidden closet. As the Strangleworm closes in on the people they love and they find allies becoming enemies, the trio make desperate moves to try and get ahead.
Kelly makes a promise. Nammi steels some nerves, and calms others. Rabbit makes a daring bid for control of their life.
Why have this power, but never use it? This could change everything.
It’s an ending, not a beginning.
Maybe it’s both.
