Over the weekend, the shadows of Laveau grew a little longer.

A new region, Bastille, has been added to the western edge of Laveau, expanding our port town into an even more sprawling haven of lawlessness. With Port Laveau already steeped in the murky backwaters of Louisiana as a hotbed of illegal trade, this expansion is just the beginning of our efforts to deepen the lore and enhance your immersive experience.

As we continue to reshape the town, you may notice some dust settling as buildings and decor are rearranged to fit the evolving story.

Setting the Stage...

Laveau, a decaying port town hidden deep within the Louisiana bayous, is where hope goes to die. Those who end up here — whether by misfortune or design — are quickly swallowed by its corrupt heart. The town is tightly gripped by the Silent Serpent Syndicate, a shadowy cabal that oversees every illicit trade imaginable. The marina, teeming with rusted fishing boats and clandestine vessels, serves as the lifeblood of Laveau's underground economy, a gateway for smuggled goods and trapped souls. Just beyond the docks, a small, desolate airfield receives shadowy flights under the cover of night, importing everything from narcotics to dangerous cargo.

People from all corners of the world find themselves taken to Laveau, stripped of their pasts, and conditioned into the town's seedy establishments. The notorious Sheriff, in league with the Syndicate, ensures that the law serves only to maintain this grim status quo.

Looming ominously across the marina, the massive walls of the state penitentiary cast a long shadow over the town, a stark reminder that escape is futile. The prison, a symbol of ultimate despair, is as much a part of Laveau’s fabric as the muddy streets and the murky bayou waters. This town is not just a destination — it's a trap, where the line between life and death blurs, and where escaping its grasp is all but impossible.

Coming Soon...

Factions are the lifeblood of Laveau's drama, fueling plots and igniting scenes. Keep an eye out for updates as faction tags, turfs, NPCs, and more Narrator-driven features are woven into the experience. The HUD will soon see enhancements to unlock more Encounters, catering to special groups like law enforcement, criminals, and beyond.
