"Where the neon reflects on rain-slicked cobblestones, and the shadows conceal the sharpest teeth in the metropolis."
The digital fortresses and high-tech warfare of Season 10 were not built on a void; they were built on the bones of the 1930s. Long before the era of automated dominance, the foundations of the Jondique legacy were laid in the rain and the grit of the Great Depression.
In the established lore of Season 10, the "Wolves" are an apex power. Jondique Noir is the story of how that power was first seized. It is the raw, analogue "Version 1.0" of the syndicate, where the need-to-know philosophy was a survival tactic rather than a corporate policy.
While S10 is defined by its sophisticated systems, S1 is defined by raw machinery. The industrial automation you see in the 30s is the direct ancestor to the automated server scripts and complexes of the future.
Discover the original power seats that become legendary landmarks in the S10 map. The Noir era marks the exact point in history where the timeline diverges and the legendary blood-feuds begin.
"You cannot understand the apex without witnessing the rise."
If Season 10 is the finished masterpiece, Jondique Noir is the blueprint drawn in charcoal and blood. Everything fought for in the modern era starts right here, in the shadows of 1936.
