Once more, the Eternal City trembles on the brink of chaos. The toiling of St. Peter's bells might still be proudly proclaiming the power held by the men of God, but in marble-cast shadows of greatness long gone rumours spread about the Pope's worsening health, spurring ambitions to grow quickly. Old resentments resurface even quicker. From all corners of the Italian Peninsula, hungry eyes turn towards Castel Sant'Angelo, awaiting the smallest waver โ a hint, a breath, aย hopeย that an opportunity might present itself to grasp the light that guides the Christian world.
Some, even, might yet prove bold enough to create such an opportunity themselves, as it is a belief well-known that Fortune, fickle as She is, tends to favour the bold.
Yet for now, His Holiness Alexander VI still rules the bodies and souls of Rome with an iron first. His troops stand strong, commanded by a warrior-cardinal of his own blood. His advisors stand by his side, loyal or simply too intimidated to turn away just yet. The king of Naples and Repubblica Fiorentina's finest families still bend their necks before him, and the labyrinth of political games sprawled across the Seven Hills remains as treacherous as everโฆ

Nestled along the Southern California coastline, somewhere between Los Angeles and San Diego, sits the self-governing city of **Blackbarrow.** Home to approximately 1.5 million residents, Blackbarrow has undergone a remarkable transformation beneath the administration of Governor Henry Dawson. Once notorious for its criminal enterprises and political unrest, the city has since become something of a metropolitan success storyโ welcoming wealthy investors, ambitious entrepreneurs, and newcomers hoping to make something of themselves. However, beneath its carefully maintained reputation, Blackbarrow remains a city divided. Its three sectors separate residents by wealth and social standing, while the opportunities afforded to some remain little more than distant promises to others.
For all its supposed *progress,* Blackbarrow has never quite escaped its past. Criminal organizations continue to operate within the cityโs neglected districts, while those occupying its highest offices are not always as respectable as their titles might suggest. Money has a remarkable way of opening doors here, and the right connections can make even the most inconvenient problems disappear. Still, life goes on. Businesses open their doors each morning, families make their runs to school and workโ and ordinary people continue building lives amid circumstances they cannot always control.
Whether youโre looking to establish an empire, uncover the cityโs secrets, or simply find somewhere to belongโ thereโs a place for you in Blackbarrow.

You're greeted by an MP4. Blurry, recorded from a webcam. There's nothing but heavy breathing as the figure on the other side stabilizes the camera.
"Ok, ok. I don't think I have much time left. There are probably at least a couple of corporate security vans herding my way to make me disappear off the face of the Earth. So, with what time I have left, I'm recording this. It's not a big secret that corporations are doing something big. Y'know, Arvestine's got a whole list of controversies, Zhongxin is a glorified Chinese puppet, and the Shiu group is burning down half a dozen blocks a day to buy them up and 'modernize' them. Butโฆeven this, there's something off about it. They're moving assets on incomprehensible scales, putting a gun in the hands of every single one of their employees. It's like they're plotting a fucking takeover of Hong Kong. Its-
They're here. Justโฆjust keep your eyes peeled. Keep your ears open. And don't trust anything they tell you!"
