Gang and crime activity

Gang and other criminal activity list

Harbor Warriors

Bridge Kids

Group of punks and homeless who dwell in the complex structures of the bridges of Boston Harbor, and harass travelers.

The Patriots

A ruthless gang of thugs that claim they want to bring the US back to their vision of what freedom was. They border on terrorists, and are formed from fragments of racist and neo-nazis groups.

Secret Societies and Cults

Boston Institute of the Blind

Formerly Perkins School of the Blind (Secret Society: Cimmerii or Cimmorum Foundation) Once just a hospital and institute for the blind, now also a secret research facility exploring Empathic powers within blind people. (Cimmerii a mythical people, living in eternal darkness).

Ghoul Cult or Kulten Denicalis Aeternus

(The Cult of Eternal Release from Death) rarely spoken of since the colony days. For centuries, it has lasted through the ages, through the Noble-related families. Its membership rose and fell, as the occult fell in and out of vogue. It is now veru prominent amongst the nomenclatura.

The Yachters

A Secret group of Minion Hunters that meet in the middle of the harbor at night, on random ships. They never meet on land.

Harvard Institute of Paranormal & Parapsychology

Important Sites

The Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library, Harvard University, Cambridge

This library was named after a Harvard alumnus who perished aboard theTitanic. The Widener is the largest university library in the world. Although the reference room and other areas of the library are accessible to the public, the stacks themselves are not, the Widener being a private library.

Mystery Hill, America’s Stonehenge

About 40 miles north of the city of Boston, and about 25 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean, is what appears to be the greatest, and perhaps oldest, megalithic enigma of North America. Mystery Hill, also known as “America’s Stonehenge”, is a site that has puzzled archaeologists for almost a century.

Running across the 30 acres of hillside are a series of low walls, cave-like primitive buildings, and tunnels that are spread about with, according to one archaeologist, “gigantic confusion and childish disorder, deep cunning and rude naively.”
