A civilian from Hathian entered the Serpents Den and argued with an armed local over a woman. The bartender ordered both men outside after spotting the pistol. The local promised the streets would settle the dispute.

The Ledger learned that Hathian-linked individuals have tested Laveau's social boundaries this week. Sheriff's Office sources called the pattern deliberate provocation. The Serpents Den maintains order through management authority. Sources say outside agitators aim to erode that order. An unidentified newcomer entered the Den that morning and asked staff questions while claiming to seek work.

A Sheriff's Office spokesperson said: 'Port Laveau is not Hathian. Those who arrive expecting Hathian rules will leave with Laveau lessons.' Residents should report unfamiliar faces asking too many questions.
