Conurbation is a bustling metropolis known for being the most divisive city on the continent. Neighboring countries won't touch them with a 10-foot pole and they've become a rather insular country. Few people want to come in; fewer yet are able to leave. Sociologists are eager to see what comes of a society with decades of division driven between not only social classes but even within family units with siblings and parents ending up on different sides of the class wars.
On one hand, there are the Hidebounds. The Hidebounds are known for their resistance to change and commitment to upholding the status quo. After all, things were better in their childhood, and now things are different -- and worse. They know that if society could simply shift back to the Good Ole Days everything would be fixed. As a result, they do their best to uphold tradition and resist being stripped of their way of life.
On the complete other side, there are the Iconoclasts. The Iconoclasts believe that the core of all modern problems stems from the issues from the past simply coming to a head after years of getting swept under the rug. They want immediate societal change that shifts the focus away from tradition and towards empathy for the human condition.
Then somewhere in the middle are the Guarded. The Guarded generally say they agree with the Iconoclasts, but value their comfort and security above the hope of a better future. As a result, they are generally disliked by both the Hidebounds, who don't like their lip service to Iconoclasts, and the Iconoclasts, who don't like that their inaction makes it easier for the Hidebounds to get their way.
Recently, however, there's been a growing realization that this is all a facade. The elections are meaningless and the Council is a theater, meant to give the illusion of free choice while ignoring the will of the people.
There are now rumors circulating about a secret society responsible for clandestine activities in the shadows. The motives of the society remain a well-kept secret, but there's reason to believe they have substantial political, economic, and social influence. Driven by curiosity, a diverse group of individuals decides to take matters into their own hands and infiltrate this elusive organization and expose their crimes and members.
In a setting where no one is who they seem and you can never be sure who you can trust, do you think you have what it takes?
