Jobs

City Hall is the seat of civic power in Savannah, responsible for the city’s governance, development, and public welfare. While its outward function appears strictly administrative, those attuned to the city’s deeper currents know that decisions made here ripple far beyond zoning laws and budgets. City Hall often (wittingly or not) intersects with the Supernatural world, shaping policies that can protect or endanger both the Awakened and the Unawakened.

City Hall is where appearances matter, alliances are carefully navigated, and the mundane and magical are constantly negotiating for control, whether through public debate or whispered conversations behind closed doors.

City Hall

The Mayor of Savannah (Open)

The Mayor is an Awakened human tasked with overseeing the civic and political affairs of Savannah. Their influence reaches both the human and Supernatural communities. Their stance toward the Shrouded world (player’s choice: supportive, fearful, hostile, or ambivalent) profoundly shapes the city’s atmosphere. They may work to uphold the Shroud, broker peace between groups, or pursue their own hidden agenda.

Key Responsibilities:

• • Serve as a public-facing leader for the city.

  • Influence city policies that indirectly (or directly) impact gifted Supernatural citizens.

  • Help maintain the stability of the Shroud and public order.

  • Shape the tone of human–gifted-Supernatural relations through alliances, laws, or public initiatives.

  • Organize city-wide events or holidays (with staff approval).

Whether seen as a puppet, peacekeeper, or power player, the Mayor plays a crucial role in the evolving dynamic between Savannah’s Unawakened, Awakened, Gifted, and Supernaturals inhabitants (player’s choice).

The Judge (Open)

Presides over high-profile legal matters in Savannah. Known for fairness, power, and discretion, the Judge serves as a quiet stabilizer in the city’s volatile mix of politics, law, and Supernatural undercurrents. Some suspect the Judge is Awakened or even secretly allied with powerful Supernatural (player’s choice) .

Key Responsibilities:

• • Preside over important legal matters that impact the city.

  • Help ensure the city remains stable, especially during times of tension.

  • Use discretion when dealing with private or controversial matters.

  • Uphold the law, encourage accountability, and discourage corruption. 

  • Work with the Mayor, the Chief of Police and the City Council regarding city affairs

Chief Historian (Open)

The Chief Historian serves as the guardian of Savannah’s past, overseeing the city’s official records, archives, and preservation efforts through the Savannah Historic Society, housed in the City Hall Annex. Publicly, their role is academic, dedicated to the documentation and interpretation of Savannah’s long and storied history. Privately, they are a gatekeeper of deeper truths that tie the city’s origins to the supernatural world.

Whether Awakened or a Freemason, the Chief Historian maintains strict control over what is known, what is remembered, and what must remain hidden. Their access to restricted archives documents, testimonies, and relics pertaining to the city’s unseen history makes them one of the most informed and discreet figures in Savannah. The Historian may advise the Mayor or other civic leaders, but any knowledge of supernatural affairs is shared only when absolutely necessary and always under seal of confidentiality.

Key Responsibilities:

• • Preserve and interpret Savannah’s historical records, artifacts, and architectural heritage.

  • Maintain private archives containing accounts of supernatural incidents and faction activity.

  • Advise the Mayor and trusted city officials on matters where historical precedent intersects with current events.

  • Serve as intermediary between the Freemasons, Awakened scholars, and other keepers of Savannah’s hidden past.

  • Determine which records are suitable for public release and which must remain sealed.

  • Uphold the principle that the supernatural history of Savannah is to be protected, not exposed.

City Council Members (Open)

A diverse group of prominent business owners, legal minds, and respected community leaders. Officially, they handle budgets, ordinances, and urban development. Unofficially, some are Thralls, Awakened , or tools of the gifted and Supernatural, using their influence to push agendas that serve their hidden patrons. 

Key Responsibilities:

• • Make sure the businesses around the city comply with the laws

  • Create events to promote the city, businesses, culture or festivals

  • Work with the Judge, the Mayor and the Chief of Police in city affairs

  • Help citizens (players) with day to day city problems

Savannah Police Department

Chief of Police (Rev Vizla - Noori Takeda)

The Chief of Police is the highest-ranking officer in Savannah’s law enforcement. Though the vast majority of the force remains Unawakened, the Chief is Awakened and aware of the Shrouded world and its quiet influence on the city’s undercurrents. Operating at the threshold between the mundane and the mysterious, the Chief must keep one eye on crime statistics and the other on Supernatural anomalies that never make it into official reports. Whether they choose to collaborate with the Gifted, quietly monitor the Shrouded, or suppress all knowledge of the unseen, their leadership affects how close the thin line between order and chaos is drawn (player’s choice) .

Key Responsibilities:

• • Oversee all police activity, investigations, and departmental operations.

  • Manage the delicate balance between mundane crime and Supernatural disturbance.

  • Maintain the force’s ignorance or distance from Supernatural affairs

  • Quietly liaise with gifted and Supernatural groups, or Awakened city officials.

The Chief’s decisions ripple outward: protect the Shroud, manipulate it, or expose the cracks. In a city full of haunted streets and hidden powers, the badge doesn’t just uphold the law; it guards reality itself.

Police Officers 

Savannah’s uniformed officers are the visible backbone of law and order in one of the most haunted cities in America. Most are Unawakened, dealing only with what can be logged, charged, and testified to in court, yet they patrol streets where the impossible occasionally bleeds through the cracks. Some will never realize what truly walks beside them in the dark. A rare few may begin to suspect.

Police Officers are the first responders to both the ordinary and the inexplicable: domestic disputes in decaying row houses, violent crime along the docks, strange accidents in forgotten alleys, and disturbances that never make sense on paper.

How much they question the official story or how deeply they bury their doubts is a personal choice.

Key Responsibilities:

• Patrol assigned districts and respond to emergency calls.

• Enforce city and state law in routine and high-risk situations.

• Secure crime scenes, collect basic evidence, and file official reports.

• Interact with civilians, business owners, and community figures.

• Follow orders that sometimes feel… incomplete or heavily redacted.

Most officers believe they protect the city from criminals. A few may begin to realize they’re also protecting it from truths that cannot yet be spoken.

Detectives 

Detectives operate in the gray spaces of Savannah’s justice system, where patterns never quite line up and motives are rarely simple. Assigned to homicide, missing persons, cold cases, and organized crime, they sift through layers of lies, corruption, and memories that refuse to stay buried.

Officially, their work is grounded in evidence, witness statements, and procedure. Unofficially, Savannah produces cases that defy logic, murders with no clear cause of death, disappearances with no physical trail, and suspects who seem to vanish into thin air.

Some Detectives remain steadfastly Unawakened, rationalizing every impossibility. Others are or may become Awakened through exposure, slowly realizing that something in the city does not obey natural law.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead complex investigations and major crime cases.

• Interview witnesses, interrogate suspects, and analyze evidence.

• Work closely with Forensics, Uniformed Officers, and Command.

• Reopen cold cases linked to Savannah’s long and haunted history.

• Navigate political pressure, quiet cover-ups, and dangerous truths.

A Detective’s badge doesn’t just pursue justice, it uncovers what the city desperately tries to forget.

Candler Hospital

Hospital Director (Theodora Abboud - Yasu Xaris)

The Director of Chandler Hospital is not just a figurehead of healthcare, they are the quiet fulcrum where science and the supernatural intersect. An Awakened human, the Director is fully aware of the existence of Gifted individuals, supernatural groups, and the Shroud that hides their world from the public eye.

While the hospital serves the general public as Savannah’s premier medical facility, it also operates under a silent agreement with local supernatural authorities. When strange cases arise, wounds that won’t heal, bloodwork that doesn’t match any known human biology, or patients caught between planes, the attending staff are instructed to alert the Director immediately. From there, the case is quietly diverted to supernatural channels.

Key Responsibilities:

• • Oversee the hospital’s daily operations and staff.

  • Serve as the first responder to medical anomalies linked to supernatural causes.

  • Maintain secret relationships with groups like the Ebon, BLD remnants, or Witch Healers.

  • Protect the Shroud by covering up unexplainable phenomena or rerouting supernatural patients.

  • May provide sanctuary or off-the-record medical aid to supernatural beings.

  • Whether the Director is sympathetic to the Shrouded or views them as dangerous unknowns, their choices can shape how healthcare, secrecy, and trust function in the city’s hidden underworld.

Doctors, Nurses, and Technicians

Most of Chandler’s medical staff are Unawakened, treating what they believe to be standard trauma and disease. However, a select few Awakened doctors and nurses quietly work under the Director’s guidance, learning to recognize when a case steps beyond human science.

Some become trusted supernatural liaisons. Others risk losing their sanity or license when they peer too far past the Shroud.

As one of the most prestigious creative institutions in the region, SCAD draws students and staff from around the world. The school is steeped in Telluric energy due to its location on key leyline intersections, and its historic buildings hum with psychic residue.

Most are Unawakened, but supernatural influence is rampant, manifesting as inspiration, obsession, or strange “muses.” A number of faculty and students are Awakened, some secretly Gifted or Supernatural, and others fully entangled in supernatural politics.

Garvin Hall

SCAD Dean (Open)

An Awakened figure who walks a delicate line between academic integrity and supernatural interference. They maintain the illusion of a normal institution while fielding threats from spirits in the dorms, enchanted objects in the archives, and Gifted or Supernatural students going too far.

Key Responsibilities:

• • Shielding the school from supernatural disruptions.

  • Quietly coordinating with the Ebon or Temoin members on campus

SCAD Professors (Open)

While some are Unawakened, others are keenly aware of what stirs beneath the surface. Certain professors secretly integrate supernatural theory, ritual art, or esoteric history into their coursework. Some are even Gifted or Supernaturals experts hiding in plain sight.

Possibilities Include:

• A design professor who teaches Veil-symbolism in graphic form.

• An art history scholar tracking cursed artifacts through student projects.

• A writer mentoring Awakened students through coded texts.

SCAD Students (Open)

From all backgrounds and disciplines, SCAD students are some of the most vulnerable to Savannah’s supernatural pulse, and some of the most gifted at sensing it. They may be Unawakened, having strange dreams or visions…, Awakened, quietly dealing with their discovery of the truth, or even Gifted and Supernaturals from all races.

Telfair Museum Curator (Fate Dendrophile - turnoffate)

The Curator oversees acquisitions, exhibitions, and the preservation of Savannah’s oldest art institution. To the public, they are a steward of culture and education; privately, they guard collections that may contain objects of deeper significance to the city’s supernatural history.

Theater Director  (OPEN)

The Director oversees the artistic and operational revival of the Savannah Theatre, guiding its return as a cornerstone of the city’s cultural life. Their vision shapes programming, community outreach, and the delicate balance between preserving the theatre’s storied past and redefining its modern identity.

Those who hold this position often find themselves curators not only of art, but of memory—protectors of a legacy shadowed by mystery and rumor. Whether drawn by history, passion, or ambition, the Director must navigate the theatre’s reputation carefully, maintaining public trust while quietly managing what the building’s long silence may have left behind.

Key Responsibilities:

▪ Curate and oversee performances, events, and public programs.

▪ Manage staff, including ushers, concession attendants, and stagehands.

Theater Owner  (Matilda Stark - Willow Morningstar)

Perched on the edge of the Yamacraw Bluff District, The Thunderbird Inn has been welcoming travelers since the late 1940s, making it Savannah’s longest-running continuously operating hotel. With its neon signage, pastel walls, and sleek Art Deco lines, it’s a gleaming time capsule of mid-century charm. But behind the retro façade, the inn has a reputation for strange happenings, guests have reported music playing from empty rooms, shadowy figures in the halls, and vivid dreams of events they’ve never lived.

Abandoned for decades, it sat like a hollow lung above the river, breathing in secrets, exhaling silence. Locals claim the site was once a waystation for river traders, and that its foundations hide more than just old brickwork. Some say the Thunderbird has a “guest” or two who checked in decades ago and never left — at least, not entirely.

The neon still glows.

The Art Deco façade still gleams.

But something older has settled back into the bones.

People sleep here.

People dream here.

And the walls remember.

The Innkeeper

(Open)

Staff Roles

Front desk (Open)

Currier (Open)

Bartender (Open)

Housekeeper (Open)

• Savannah Office of Urban Works

The Harbor Master (Open)

The Harbor Master oversees Savannah’s docks, shipyards, and maritime commerce. Officially, they manage harbor logistics, vessel registrations, and trade operations through the Port Authority and Commerce Office. Unofficially, they command the White Claws’ influence along the riverfront the lifeblood of the faction’s power and the city’s economy alike.

A White Claw shifter, the Master leads a mixed crew of shifters, Awakened workers, and a few trusted Unawakened laborers who keep the docks running day and night. Their authority rests not just on paperwork, but on presence respect, strength, and the unspoken law that the port is White Claw territory.

Since the Wharf Fire, control of the port has grown uncertain. Federal oversight has increased, and agents from the BLD and FBI have begun to appear under the guise of safety inspectors and trade auditors. Smugglers whisper that the fire was no accident, while the White Claws quietly work to reassert dominance over the docks and root out whoever threatens their hold.

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee daily port operations, shipping manifests, and river trade.

• Command a workforce of shifters, Awakened dockhands, and human laborers.

• Maintain White Claw control of the docks while navigating human oversight.

• Negotiate with the Mayor’s office, port authorities, and rival factions for control of commerce.

• Protect shipments and suppress supernatural or illicit disturbances.

In the city’s shadow economy, the Master of the Port is both gatekeeper and guardian of the river’s flow. Every crate, every ship, every whisper that moves through Savannah’s harbor passes under their watch, seen, counted, and controlled.

Dock Foreman (Open)

A seasoned shifter or Awakened human responsible for managing daily dock operations under the Master of the Port. Keeps order among crews, oversees shipments, and ensures supernatural discretion when handling sensitive cargo. Knows which crates to question—and which to leave sealed.

Dockhands (Open)

A mix of shifters, Awakened, and tough Unawakened laborers who load, unload, and guard shipments moving through the port. Most are loyal to the White Claws, bound by wages or blood. Rumors say they can smell deceit as easily as saltwater.

WSAV 770 AM is one of Savannah’s oldest radio stations, originally established in the 1930s. On the surface, it broadcasts a blend of local news, historical commentary, and late-night jazz. But after dark, the airwaves take a turn…

Officially owned by the Lowcountry Heritage Media Group, WSAV is quietly influenced (and possibly partially funded) by a network of conspiracy theorists.

WSAV

Notable Programming:

“Savannah After Midnight” (Sundays, 12AM – 4AM)

 A wildly popular conspiracy theory call-in show hosted by Ellis “Dusty” Rhodes, an eccentric ex-journalist with a gravelly voice and a suspiciously long career.

 Topics include:

• Ghost sightings on River Street

• Black helicopters over the marshes

• Secret tunnels beneath the Freemason lodge

• Disappearances linked to “moonlight rituals”

• And yes… murmurs of a cursed play once performed at the Savannah Theatre

Ellis “Dusty” Rhodes Host (NPC with option to become a player)

This long-running late-night radio program is part call-in show, part urban legend archive, and part audio confessional. The host may be Unawakened and skeptical, or secretly Awakened, using the show to probe the supernatural undercurrents of the city while dodging the attention of more powerful forces. Some supernaturals call in under aliases. Some guests never leave a voice.

Key traits:

• • Charismatic and curious, with connections in both the human and Shrouded worlds.

  • They may be manipulated or threatened by groups wishing to control the narrative.

  • Could receive or send coded warnings or threats, live on air.

Station Staff (Open)

Station staff range from receptionists to DJs and technicians. They are what keep the station on the air and functioning for the enjoyment and informational needs of the city of Savannah. These can be from any race or be awakened or unawakened; it is up to the player in how they would like to build a story.

Reporters/Journalists (Open)

Drawn by Savannah’s mysterious past, local reporters, podcasters, researchers, and archivists dig deep into the city’s bones. Most are Unawakened, explaining away supernatural evidence as odd coincidences or old wives’ tales. But some cross a line, becoming Awakened through exposure to Veil fractures, forbidden knowledge, or cryptic sources.

Those who persist in uncovering the truth often face pressure from both mortal and supernatural powers to stop. Others become secret allies to the Ebon or keep tabs on pack activity for their own protection or profit.

Slogan: “Progress. Purpose. Power.”

Company CEO  - OPEN

Headquarters: in the now-named Aeternis Tower  the Aeternis Group presents itself as a forward-thinking multinational conglomerate specializing in real estate, biotech, defense contracting, and “experimental sustainability solutions.” In truth, it’s a façade run by a CEO corrupted by Banes, Carcosan influence, and something older that feeds on entropy, secrets, and psychic decay. Those who work long enough at the company eventually fall under Carcosa's dark influence.

Aeternis has quietly purchased swaths of historic Savannah, displacing families, desecrating haunted grounds, and “accidentally” unearthing relics better left buried. The CEO and high-ranking leadership in the organization are Awaken. Their core operations are interdimensional in ambition and seek to tear the Veil just enough to let something bleed through. 

Aeternis Group

Key Information:

• Influence of Banes: The company harbors spiritual parasites, twisted corporate spirits born from greed, denial, and corruption. These spirits subtly infect executives, workers, and even building systems, turning Aeternis into a living, hungry organism of despair.

• Carcosan Ties:  Several high-ranking leadership have been “touched by the King,” appearing perfectly sane until they begin speaking in meter or quoting lines from a nonexistent second act of The King in Yellow. The company’s secretive boardroom (Room 9F) is rumored to be lined in yellow silk no one remembers installing.

Notable Adversary to:

• The Freemasons, who view Aeternis as a dangerously corrupted echo of their own ambitions.

• The Temoin, especially after Maggie Duval’s mysterious opposition to a land sale they tried to push through before her death.

• Sébatien Lafitte, who actively obstructs artifact recoveries and may have stolen a relic, or two…  from under their nose.

• The Keepers of the River, who view the company’s presence as an ecological and spiritual cancer.
