The Maison des Lettres traced its roots back to the gritty portside alleys of Marseille, birthplace of the Fournier Patriarch, a man who wove an empire for his bloodline. The Fournier name oozed menace, and its sinister tendrils reached far beyond the fog-laden streets of Paris, extending their grip across the cobblestones of foreign lands. A decision born of ambition and treachery saw the patriarch dispatch his offspring to Compass City, a crucible of the American dream teeming with French émigrés.
In a mere decade, the younger Monsieur Fournier cast his dark shadow over the heart of Compass City's French Quarter. His name was whispered in backroom dealings, and his influence cast an inescapable web. The Cabaret, with its seductive allure, was the center of it all; unless one yearned to keep their conscience pristine and their hands unsoiled, that is. It was in this den of debauchery that DuBois, like a fallen angel, tumbled into Fournier's clutches.
Now, Fournier's boys peddle Clarté like snake oil to the high and mighty, from the mayor himself to the gilded wives of the city's elite. The dark underbelly of Compass City's French Quarter hides a secret, and Clarté flows through its veins like a narcotic river, staining the souls of all who dare to indulge.
Welcome to Compass City, where everyone is either fighting to save their soul or looking to sell it.
