Deadlock intelligence branch
A faction-first codex for the occult powers, field organizations, syndicates, and petitioners converging on the Cursed Apple.
Deadlock's map works best when dossiers stay at the center and petitioners orbit them. Select a node to isolate its pressure lines and linked figures.
Map mode: choose a filter, then click a node to focus it. Portraits beneath each node preview the characters tied to that dossier or event.
Characters no longer sit in the dossier grid. This archive is reserved for groups, institutions, and editorial clusters, with petitioners linked through portrait records instead.
Choose a dossier to trace how it intersects with Patrons, citywide events, allied institutions, and the petitioners acting around it.
Dates are still loose in public Deadlock lore, so this timeline follows the causal sequence: old orders, two Maelstroms, and the current wave of petitioners entering New York.
