 The second-largest [[Tallow Guilds|tallow guild]] in [[Vesper Ridge]], and the only one capable of rivaling the influence of [[the Delving Guild]]. The Black Light Mining Company, often referred to simply as “Black Light” by [[Vesperite|Vesperites]], holds many secrets. Its founder and current owner are both unknown, and lower-level employees often don’t even know the names of their own supervisors. Despite the guild’s secrecy, it is well-known that Black Light engages in a great deal of illegal activity, making frequent use of extortion and blackmail to gain a foothold in many of Vesper Ridge’s industries. In the [[Harbor Ward]], there are frequent clashes between Black Light mobsters and [[Dockworkers Union|Dockworkers’ Union]] vigilantes.

 The popular nickname for a mysterious serial killer currently at large in [[Vesper Ridge]]. Their identity and motive are both unknown, but the pattern of their killings seems to target mages as well as individuals in positions of authority. So far, the [[constabulary]] has been completely foiled in its attempts to catch this killer. The city’s newspapers, especially the popular [[Forum Square Gazette]], report on the Bloody Butterfly’s rampage in lurid detail.
+
+The Butterfly’s most recent public appearance was especially dramatic, involving the murders of half a dozen constables and a [[municipal arcane scrivener]], as well as extensive fire damage to the [[Vesper Ridge Customs and Notary Bureau River Gates Branch Municipal Office]]. Eyewitness accounts describe this mysterious figure as “like a walking ghost” and apparently faceless or somehow invisible beneath their (or its?) black veil.

+
+Built 50 years prior to the events of Dim Light, this house of refuge operated for two decades with funding from the [[Harbor Ward]] [[Ward Councils|Council]] before its budget dried up and it was forced to close its doors. The fates of its original caretakers and orphans are unknown, but rumors suggest the children ended up “encouraged” to do “volunteer work” at the [[Sea of Wine|waterfront]]. [[Dockworkers Union|The Dockworkers' Union]], which now keeps a protective watch over the newly-repaired building and its current informal staff, would never allow such a tragedy to repeat itself. Perhaps this could be seen as a small sign of positive progress in a city that becomes bleaker by the day.
+
+Though the orphanage is still officially closed according to Harbor Ward Council records, it was given new purpose two years ago thanks to [[Rook]] and [[Sister Linia]]: it now serves as a [[The Chapel of Second Chances|church]] to the [[Our Lady of the Black Rose|Black Rose]] and well as home to a small community of people with nowhere else to go.

+A “church” managed by a young priestess named [[Sister Linia]] on the site of what was once known as [[Cairwick Orphanage]]. Linia, a priestess of the [[Our Lady of the Black Rose|Black Rose]], opens the building’s doors to the public each morning for services and breakfast. Despite the offer of free food, most [[Vesperite|Vesperites]] are hesitant to set foot in a church of the heretical goddess, and [[Rook]] keeps a close eye on any visitors who do appear. According to Linia, the Chapel of Second Chances is named after a similar church to the Black Rose that stood in [[Vesper Ridge]] hundreds of years ago.

+Five stories of sturdy stonework and showy gold embellishments immediately set this structure apart from its surroundings in the western end of the [[Sunset Ward]]. Or, they did, until extensive fire damage reduced the splendorous facade to a soot-smothered ruin. Twice as tall as the second-tallest structure in the ward, the River Gates Branch Office acted as [[Vesper Ridge Parliamentary Council|Parliament]]'s stronghold in this relatively lawless area of the city. Daunting in both name and purpose, its functions were many: each floor housed multiple large courtrooms to process immigration, visitation, civil and criminal cases, and multiple offices to issue and distribute [[Permit of Stay|Permits of Stay]] and [[Permit of Leave|Leave]]. Its top floor included a set of small but lavishly furnished suites to house the higher-ranking officials in charge of the building's operation, and its rooftop served as a watchpost for the [[constabulary]], including a docking station for small [[airships]]. Beneath the building is the [[Sunset Ward Penitentiary Complex]].
