Trenchport Coroners Office

The Trenchport Coroner's Office is where the city's dead tell their final secrets, or at least, the secrets that those in power allow to be revealed. Officially tasked with investigating suspicious deaths and maintaining public records, the office is, in reality, a gatekeeper for the city's most dangerous truths. Autopsy results are manipulated, causes of death altered, and inconvenient evidence disappears without a trace.

​

At the center of this web is the Medical Examiner, a calculating figure who operates as both a scientist and a fixer. For the right price, they can make a murder look like an accident, erase any trace of foul play, or quietly ensure that a body never makes it to the public record. Those who cross the wrong people often find their deaths classified as "natural causes," no matter how violent the reality may have been.

​

The morgue itself is a cold, sterile maze where the forgotten and the anonymous are hidden away. Bodies with no one to claim them often find their way into secret medical experiments or are sold to the black market for those with specialized needs. Rumors persist of a hidden section deep beneath the office where the city's darkest experiments are carried out on corpses and, some say, on the living who no one will miss.

​

For the powerful, the Coroner's Office is not just a public service it is a tool. Whether it is burying the truth, exposing enemies, or conducting experiments no reputable lab would touch, the office operates at the intersection of science and corruption. In Trenchport, even the dead are not beyond the reach of those who hold the reins of power.
