the wardens' hall
run by the case family
the wardens hall is a spirit management and containment business. it's where spirit wardens conduct their work: tracking hauntings, documenting unexplained phenomena, and enforcing the ancient spiritual accords that keep hell's restless dead from overrunning the living. most wardens live on call, rotating shifts between investigations, artifact containment, and something only ever listed on records as "veil maintenance." locals recognize them by their brass lapel pins and the faint light that follows them down the street. they don't talk much, especially about what's kept in the sub-basement, where the lights flicker red instead of white.
