The Greatest: Northside Precinct

Leave a comment

Location: Northside

Features in: KNOCK KNOCK

Centuries ago in the area of Northside, just north of Bellfield, there existed a knight named Niall Tulloch. Through his successes in battle Niall became known as the greatest Northsider. His family went on to rule the area. The central point of this rule lies within the Northside Precinct.

Since the disappearance of Mayor Feltz, the Northside counsellor, the area has suffered a great deal. Feltz’s daughter, Ruby, has been left with a lot of mess to clear up. This isn’t helped by the precinct now being in the hands of Liam Tulloch. Liam is Hell bent on proving himself on being just as successful as his ancestor leaving the precinct falling to ruin.

The stirrings of war, the mistrust of Feltz’s legacy as well as the moronic ramblings of Liam Tulloch have left the Precinct a shadow of what it once was. One day perhaps someone will shine light upon it again.

Webb Industries

Leave a comment

Leading the way in commercial fishing, Webb Industries have always found the best catch. From Swantin Heights to the farthest reaches of Luen the fleet of Webb fishing vessels have provided quality sole, mackerel and cod for generations.  
Supplying thousands of homes across Coldford, Webb Industries are the first in seafood. 
Webb industries: Only catching the best. 

Location: Dockside, Swantin

Features in: KNOCK KNOCK

For generations the Webb family have been one of the wealthiest and influential in the Swantin area of the city. Owners of the fishing industries and the Fisherman’s Union, Webb Industries have a large presence in seas between the city and Hathfield Bay island.

Fergus Webb and his brother Duncan brought the fishing firm into the latest age with new factories and extra vessels. When the brothers died the head of the fishing industry was to fall to Fergus’ eldest son, Hugo. However, Hugo was a passionate animal activist. He objected to fishing so he abdicated from his place to focus on his activism leaving the Webb Industries in the hands of his little brother Fergie.

Supplying markets from the Jolly Shopper supermarkets to the Delphine fine dining restaurant, Webb industries are focused on quality but with big brother focused on guilting the little one into disbanding their boats it will take the impressionable little Fergie standing up for himself to keep Webb Industries alive.

You Cannot be Saved: The Church of Wigan

Leave a comment

Features in: PURPLE RIBBON ; HARBOUR HOUSE ; MUSE ; KNOCK KNOCK

Your trip across to Hathfield Bay island isn’t complete without taking a closer look at the Church of St Wigan. Established centuries ago by Noah Wigan – the patron saint of sinners – the church, whilst remaining understated, has gone from strength to strength over the years.

From an outsiders perspective the church has always been seen as extreme in their views. The Wigan way of life requires a lot of sacrifice and even if you give your all the church motto still remains ‘you cannot be saved’. In the hands of a man named Parson Verger the church gathered a reputation for protecting pedophiles and other monsters among their clergy. When the leadership passed to a spirited young man named Dominick Cole, who was Hell bent on cleansing, those monsters were burned and drowned.

Like most organised religions the behaviour of the Wigan congregation can be righteous. They are considered a cult and it has been easy for people to be swept up in their teachings. Many a runaway from the city has knocked on the door of the commune, they have been welcomed behind the walls never to return. Wigan embraces all sinners and if you have a sinful past to leave behind in Coldford, the church may just be your saving grace.
