The Koham Estates
East Koham Estates
A man-made archipelago off the coast, built so that nothing that happens on it has to answer to the mainland.

The East Koham Estates are an audacious project realized by the East Side Elite — a crime syndicate with dominion over East Steadfast. Built with the syndicate's wealth and positioned deliberately offshore, the archipelago exists to give the ESE what the mainland won't: freedom, and secrecy.
It became a refuge for the affluent and the influential. High-stakes gambling parlors, death fight clubs, escort services — everything outlawed or too closely watched on shore operates here in the open. Societal norms hold little sway. One rule prevails.
For the privileged few with the resources and clout to get in, the Estates are a paradise of hedonism and decadence. For anyone caught up in what the ESE actually does there, it's a living hell.
Every attempt to dismantle the Estates has met stiff resistance. The syndicate's resources seem limitless and it stays a step ahead of whoever comes for it, so the islands go on operating — a glittering edifice of vice standing over the grim reality of its own business.
The casino. The published run of Relapse opens inside it, and everything that follows — the water, the torch, the rescue, the long way to Porto Tranquilo — starts the night Drew is put out of its doors.
A pocket-sized artifact from the night Drew made the deal. Two transparent blue acrylic dice, twelve logo chips, ambient fragrance tags, and a logo dust bag.
Every physical artifact currently in the catalog, in one box. The Buh Bye and Torch 7″ vinyl, the Vault III cassette in brilliant blue, plus the full Heaven’s Gate Kit. A $150+ value, and the only way to own the whole thing at once.
