The Fold is about as close as you can get to the cesspit that is Old York without falling in, and it tended to attract a particular type of Yorker - obsessed with upward mobility, but still possessed of the factionalism that defines their lineage.

Background

The descendants of high-level organized crime that were exiled from Old York before the Anastasia Dynasty created the Treaty of the Fold, these Yorkers form the backbone of both commerce and crime throughout the area.

In the Fold, they have a quiet stand-off with the Consigliere Rovers due to the two culture’s very different styles of management.

You’re Not Done Yet
