The Lore Archive
The district, the people, and the nights that changed them. This archive is the same ledger Abraham Van Helsing kept — read it in any order you dare.
The Survey
Ink on parchment, drawn by lamplight. Tap a marker to open the file on that place.
Persons of Interest
Threat levels are recorded honestly. Most of these people are dangerous. One of them is not people at all.
The Hunt
The Hunter
Physician, occultist, and the only man in Whitechapel who has been doing this long enough to be afraid of it. He keeps a ledger of every case, every body and every name he failed to bury properly. The list is longer than he will admit.
Threat
The Bloodline
The White Bride
Buried in a wedding dress she never got to wear, and married again, street by street, to whoever the fog selects. She does not hate Van Helsing. She remembers him fondly, which is far worse for everyone involved.
Threat
The Law
The Law
Scotland Yard's best officer and its worst-kept secret. He stopped filing reports the night he saw a corpse sit up, and has been quietly feeding Van Helsing ever since — a favour that will eventually cost him his pension, and then more.
Threat
The Unknown
The Unnamed
Never caught, never described, never once photographed. The Whitechapel killings are a case file that Van Helsing cannot close because two different hands wrote it — and only one of those hands belongs to a man.
Threat
The Blood Moon Record
Scroll and the red line fills with the nights the moon came back. Every entry has a body attached to it.
31 August 1888
A woman is found in Buck's Row with her throat opened by something with a surgeon's steadiness. The wound is clean. The blood is not in the street — it is gone.
October 1888
Every lamp in Miller's Court fails within the same minute. When they relight, a woman in white is standing in the middle of the yard, and the fog will not enter it.
November 1888
A written confession surfaces at Christ Church, signed by a woman who has been dead for forty years. Eleven witnesses confirm the handwriting is hers.
December 1888
The moon comes up red over Whitechapel for the first time in forty years. The district walks into the street to meet it, quietly, and no one is taken against their will.
February 1889
The doors of the hollow chapel open from the inside. Van Helsing's own seals are intact — every one of them — which means the thing that opened them did not use the doors.
March 1889
Filia Lilith sheds the last of her human shape at the edge of the London Docks. Every bargain Van Helsing ever struck to keep her contained comes due in the same hour.
