Claimed By

City

New Orleans

Function in Play

The operational base for the Followers of Set in New Orleans. Marcel has outlawed Setites; this location is the hidden center of their presence. The hotel provides legitimate business cover and a fixed temple space — the opposite of the mobile Dock operation.

Physical Read

A once-popular resort on Lake Pontchartrain, now visibly run-down. The exterior says “struggling business.” The lobby says “don’t stay here” — Setite retainers lounge around and the verbal abuse directed at any mortal seeking a room is usually enough to clear them out. Behind the lobby, the hotel’s back rooms are well-maintained: the temple space, storage for smuggling operations, meeting rooms.

Who Controls It

Manon, through the hotel owner (a Retainer to the Setite leadership). An “unknown benefactor” saved the hotel from closing — this benefactor is the Setite network.
