Turf War Escalates: The Minos Family Targets Spores Trade

Arkadium’s streets are ablaze once again as the city's criminal landscape shifts with dangerous new developments. The notorious Minos Family, long suspected of underground dealings, is now making aggressive moves to seize control of the lucrative Spores trade. Reliable sources confirm that the Minos Family is simultaneously working to p ash the Sons of Crete out of key territories.

The Spores trade, a highly addictive and hallucinogenic substance, has fueled countless turf wars in Arkadium’s dark corners. Now, with two criminal factions vying for dominance, the stakes have never been higher.

But the chaos doesn't end there. Reports indicate that Renfields — ghoul-like enforcers with a taste for terror — have been sighted throughout the city, intervening in these battles not just for power, but for something far more sinister: food. The sight of these twisted creatures hunting for sustenance on Arkadium’s streets has left many citizens fearful for their safety.

For now, Arkadians must remain vigilant. Lock your doors, watch your surroundings, and report any suspicious activity to the police. And if you see the Retri-Butcher, Silent Adder, or Märlük, you might want to step aside.

This is Tina Hayward for the Arkadi-Lamppost, reminding you to stay safe and hold onto hope. Because even in the darkest corners of Arkadium, there are those who fight to keep the light alive.
