City Specific Areas:

Crescent City’s occult circles… don’t exist? Perhaps curiously, there’s little significant occult presence in the city… at least, as far as publicly known. One or two pagan groups – centered more around religious practices and stereotype rather than true ritual – can be found in the city, but beyond that, if there is an occult presence in Crescent City, it’s a secretive, insular one… and open to only those select few that can, first, find them and, second, actually fit in.
