“Used to be a fishing town. Consequence, that is. Fishermen’d move here just for the fishing spots. A lot of the infrastructure is set up to export fish, though it’s fallen by the wayside, built on top of.

That was all before Blaspheme Steel came around, and their mysterious CEO. He’s elusive. In fact, I bet you couldn’t find a picture of his face if you tried. His name is Julius Cardinal and he’s been lording over his company – and the town at large, for that matter – for nigh 50 years. Blaspheme was once a steel company, but now, nobody is quite sure how deep their fingers are reaching into local industry. They already own the forest surrounding the town… when will they own the town itself? I know for a fact they’ve got Mayor Carolyn De La Cruz bought and paid for.

Recently though, it seems like all that ain’t enough for them. Blaspheme is reaching out, trying to gobble up more resources and businesses. When people resist, they just go missing! There’s no “official” evidence that Blaspheme is behind the disappearances, but we… well, let’s just say we all just know.

Now, we’ve had a history of monstrous happenings here in consequence, but this is different. Kids used to sing songs about “what lurks in the mist,” and fishermen would tell tall-tales of mermaids, and horses with fins. But lately, the stories have gotten a touch more descriptive, and for a change, the folks doing the storytelling don’t seem too keen on speaking much about it.

There’s a fear in Consequence, that kind of eerie discomfort you get when you turn off the lights and have to make a mad dash back to your bed. Something’s waiting for us in that dark. Something’s watching.”
