Opening Scene

The camera fades in on a long table setup down the middle of the Hound Pits Pub. The Lieutenants are seated along the sides and at the head of the table sits a strange man. The camera pulls in closer to the man and underneath his face words appear: “Angelo Vaughn – Rudshore Resident”

speaks first, "Mr. Vaughn. We have been informed that Montgomery Shaw has been put in charge of the Rudshore Financial District, is this correct?

Vaughn looks slightly confused, “Ifin you mean the Waterfront, aye. It ain’t been the Financial area for months now. Not since the levies broke.”

Griswald Ferrenday scoffs, “I always told them those barriers were weak. We hadn’t sent a crew down there in fourteen years.”

Vaughn nods at that, “Yup. Once the waters poured in the place went to hell. They say the streets were red for days following. Then one day that Shaw feller shows up and starts throwing his weight around. He built new barriers and separated Rudshore into three districts.”

Alexander Worthington chimes in at this point, “We’ve heard that Shaw has a number of local gangs under his thumb. You have any details for us?”

Vaughn nods again, “Oh yeah. There are dozens of little shits running around down there but only about ten that matter. Up north you have the Society and the Kings, very similar groups but the Kings broke off from the Society when they grew tired of being Shaw’s muscle. Those two control pretty much all of the North side. Central is a little more divided but you’ve only really got to worry about the Hangmen and the RLF (Rudshore Liberation Front). RLF fucking hate Shaw and have been bombing his holdings for the last month or so. The Hangmen are mostly bullies but they tend to get work with gangs from Clavering Boulevard so they have some protection. There is the Graveyard Doctors who are pacifists that’ll patch your wounds for a can of meat. Then there are the Assassins but they just live here and Widowmakers who keep to themselves as long as you stay away from their Bell Tower. Down South the Flotilla controls the waters around Rudshore. They work directly for Shaw and hijack Whalers from time to time. Underneath is all the Unhallowed hide, people say they chain up Weepers and feed their enemies to them.”
