Description
Haven is a city in peril. Crime has increasingly become a fact of life as different factions vie for control of the city’s vast power and wealth. The authorities are pressed at every turn, often too weak to respond to emergencies, and almost equally as often influenced by forces with ill intent. The city is home to millions and attracts more, some seeking opportunity, some seeking escape, and still others seeking something else. In desperation, some of its citizens have taken to wearing costumes and creating alternate identities to fight crime. In turn, the criminals have donned masks to hide their own identities, create alternate personae, or both.
