Hey there folks! Welcome to Havenport! Your sparkling metropolis with only a very minor case of major organized crime that you will barely notice apart from the city-wide turf war between the two mega crime rings struggling for sole control. If you're fearing for your safety, don't! Reported crime is at an all-time low so this is the perfect place to settle down, get married, raise a family, and watch everything you've worked so hard to build burn to ashes the moment you cross the wrong superhuman mafia grunt. They don't care about our insignificant little lives anyway. Unless you have money, property, a superpower, or morals. Don't poke the sleeping giants unless you wish to get squished, and don't try to topple them. Better men than you have tried. They're too big to fail. Now let me tell you the best thing to do when you finally arrive! Leave. No one is safe.
