Historically, it's hard to argue that something changed the nature of the town of Norfolk more than the Boom. The mine disaster killed an incredibly high proportion of the town's residents, but it also flattened their stories. That is not, of course, the truth of the matter. Their stories still exist. The truth is that the people living in and around Norfork before, during, and even after the inci...

No one feels safe in the woods around Norfolk, and that's a fact. Since the opening of the town's mine and the attraction of individuals towards it's success there have rumors of unnatural occurrences. My sources recall a wide variety of otherwordliness in their tellings - wolves standing on hind legs, echoing screams or sobs with no source, strange shapes flitting across the moon - and while othe...

Before the Gateway Demon, before The City, and before even the explosion that created the Divot, Norfolk began as a small mining town in the mid 1800s; a quiet stop on a railway line from here to there. But, since it's founding atop a lucrative mine, things have moved in the town's shadow. Let's start from the beginning...

All over Norfork we see moments: a doctor checks with their patients, a crowd leaves a club, a magician flips off the last buzzing fluorescent over a group of folding chairs, a clerk idles the hours of a new job away, a lawyer sits in a darkened office rubbing his eyes. They feel what is coming, even if they can't put their fingers on it yet. The opportunity for change hangs in the air like smoke...

The people of Norfork go about their day, most blissfully unaware of just how close they came to possession.

Mrs. Domal, I completely understand. I definitely didn't mean to overstep a boundary in this matter - I know your family has been through a lot and I did not mean to raise the specter of more difficult times. We of course want to continue to support Izzy's growth as a part of Troop #12. However, while it's true that the passage I attached (see previous email) was written as part of an assignment t...

Dear Mrs. Domal,        We are delighted to have Izzy as a part of Troop 12, she has shown a real commitment to the Norfork Scouts and attends each meeting with enthusiasm that is infectious to the other Scouts. However, her recent written application for the "Supernatural" badge (which we are admittedly still hammering down the details for) included some worrying content we thought you should be...
