You can always tell the moment before the fangs sink in.
Your local coffee shop comes under new management. The deli goes out of business. Your rent keeps going up.
You can feel it - heavy, hot, and hungry - breathing down the back of you neck.
Then your neighbors start to go, one by one. They give you good reason, but you know the truth. They can feel the fangs, the same as you.
Then when the draining starts, for a moment there is peace. There is a promise - whispered close - of
Immortality… immortality… immortality… for just a second, you could even believe it’s true.What a dope. They’ll suck you dry. You think they want to share?
No, no, not this time. Pick up a sign. The scent of change is in the air.

ORGANIZATIONS
The City: A city founded near Norfork that has been aggressively expanding for the last 20 years. This faction includes the police force of the City, the City Council, and its various bureaucratic tentacles.Norfork Town Council: An elected group of representatives that serves Norfork. Currently clinging to their role as bureaucratic arbiters, even as the City’s council attempts to cast them as a vestigial holdover. Colloquially referred to as “city council” (lowercase “c”), much to everyone’s consternation.
Norfork Parent’s Assemblage (N.P.A.): A group of mothers in Norfolk dedicated to improving the community of Norfork. They are often at odds with the City council. They are very powerful, but also often rife with internal conflict.
The Dread Ringers: A vampire “mob” led by the arch-vampire Carmichael. They run a network of clubs throughout the City. They have recently expanded into Norfork thanks to a combination of new construction and a “community watch”, which they use as a guise to carry out various unsavory activities.
Relegated Production Industries (R.P.I.): Officially, a City-backed construction management company. They have just developed the land inside of the Divot into a business park, where they are putting the finishing touches on their new headquarters. Unofficially… maybe something else.
The Star Society: A group of 15-20 amateur astronomers seeking out the clearest skies in Norfork. They are a mix of townies and City folk, but townies always know the best spots and for some reason The City folk can’t seem to get images that are as clear from where they live…
The Dark Abbey: Fans of the influencer and fashion vlogger Glymmer AKA Aina Steen. Treated very seriously. Meetups are usually by invitation only, and they’ve begun to hold raves in the derelict mining tunnels beneath Norfork. Their symbol looks like a little cartoony black castle.
Norfork Advocacy Council: An initiative started by Alexei Abramson, Marlowe, and more recently Barley Porter. Advocating for Norfork’s interests. Run out of the abandoned Wilson-Dillard High.Follow us!

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 incident carried on complicated lives with problems often as mundane as ours, today. The bar served drinks, the newspaper published articles, people had their leaky sinks and roofing tiles fixed. These details are not sanded away maliciously, but the history lost to the scale of the tragedy is personal.
In the displays below you will see examples of everyday life from the people of Norfork before the events of the Boom represented through objects saved or recovered from the explosion - like a prototype writing machine that predates the typewriter, and a dress that would have been worn at the time - as well as preserved examples of their own writing about themselves and each other. As you explore the exhibit, think about what your life would have been like if you lived in Norfolk at that time. What would you have seen? What type of work would you do? Why do you think Myriads had not yet revealed themselves to the public?
When you've finished with the exhibit, please move down the hall to the right, to the room labelled "The Boom and the Divot".

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 others might dismiss that as a symptom of their unreliability, I have always held an alternative theory: Norfolk is a queer place that many queer things have made their home. However, I can't say that I expected to witness my town's strangeness quite so directly as I did in the woods that night in the Spring, alongside two unexpected new friends. I hope they will not take issue with my characterization of the events to follow...
Here, the excerpt from The Norfolk Register cuts off. The date is missing, but the curator has assured you that the article was written somewhere around 1850, prior to the Boom that would create the Divot. The piece appears to be part of an ongoing column called "The Hidden Door" written by one Mr. Guthrie Lemon.

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...

The smell of acrid gunsmoke marks the beginning of a final, bloody conflict in the First St. Mary's Church of Norfork - but to end it will require sacrifice. May a god have mercy on their souls.
