In the waning light near the cracked sidewalks of Laveau’s aging airfield, a woman recoiled, eyes wide with a silent panic that twisted her very core. Her breaths came shallow, her hands trembling as unseen pressures bore down amid the tangled hum of distant engines and murmurs. Around her, unmarked weapons rested cold against worn leather holsters, and the night air was heavy with the scent of moss and hidden menace. A subtle touch, almost spectral, brushed her arm—a fleeting comfort in a moment suspended between dread and desperation. Witnesses spoke in hushed tones of uneasy figures traversing the shadowed boundaries of the cypress trees, whispering chants that scraped at the edges of reason and set nerves afire.

These troubling scenes are no isolated incidents but the ripple effect of unchecked unrest sown by factions intent on unraveling Laveau’s fragile peace. The city’s undercurrent roils with dark rites and secretive flights, masked in ritual and menace, threatening to fracture the community’s hard-won trust. Such acts of defiance, cloaked in spiritual terror and brewed in the dead of night, threaten to drag this storied town into chaos, where fear breeds rebellion and whispers undermine the bonds that hold us together.

In response, the Silent Serpent Syndicate, stewards of Port Laveau’s order, have intensified vigilance over the airfield and its shadowed perimeters. Syndicate enforcers, guided by the calculating eyes of the Rook and the iron will of Red Magdalene, are rooting out these insurgent threats, ensuring that the town’s pulse beats steady beneath the sprawling cypresses. Through firm, measured control, the Syndicate safeguards Laveau’s future, defending its people from the encroaching darkness that those reckless few seek to unleash.
