Head of House Veilmore
Octavio Veilmore
Age: 52
The first man in the city and its calmest player. Always gracious, always in control — and never showing what he has really staked.

The novel
The story of Archive of Scarlet Letters in prose. It opens with a prologue, long before the events of the game.
Prologue · 1830
The summer of 1830 is unbearably hot. A fever appears in the city: heat, coughing, blood — and death within days.
House Lazar, responsible for the city’s hospitals, is the first to suffer losses. The council of the four houses must decide how to stop the sickness, and the decisions made that summer will be rewritten in Veilmore for generations.
Soldiers, heirs, physicians and those who happened to be close by. A story about duty, fear and choices that others pay for.
