Magnolia

A rolling hill sticking out into Puget Sound, overlooking the water with steep bluffs. Like Queen Anne it is quiet and wealthy, but the homes are more from the latter half of the century. Discovery Park lies
at its northwestern tip, a sprawling and wild park created around an abandoned army fort, with forested
trails down to the beach. In the northern part of the park is the Daybreak Star Cultural Center, a
community center for Native Americans. Dreamspeakers from the local tribes can frequently be found here.

Odd events sometimes occur in Magnolia, especially around Discovery Park. A cougar appears in
the park, a man stumbles out of the woods with no memory of who he is or how he got there, a crude
wooden structure is found in the park, too small for humans to enter, and when you approach it, dozens of
rabbits come out of the underbrush to stare at you. Thus far these events have been more unsettlingly odd
than actually dangerous, but the rate at which they’re occurring has been accelerating over the past couple
years. Additionally, they’ve been starting to spill over outside the park and even a few Sleepers have taken
notice. Thus far this has meant the occasional strange symbol spelled out on someone’s lawn in fallen
leaves, or haunting flute music that can only be heard from certain blocks, but some fear it will get worse
soon. Theories on the source of the disturbances range from Marauders pranksters to a wandering
otherworldly portal to secret experiments that have somehow caused the local Consensus to start
unraveling.

Both the Traditions and the Technocracy have investigated and found no cause for the strange
phenomena. Since it doesn’t yet present a major threat (or obvious asset), the two sides are unwilling to
spend significant amounts of time and resources investigating. There are several high-ranking Syndicate
members with homes in the neighborhood who are frustrated with the Union’s inability to solve the
problem and would be grateful of any outside assistance. You never know when it’ll come in handy to have
a Syndicate money man owe you a favor…
