The story

Your name belongs to an older promise.

The Black Laurel is a hidden institution bound by sovereign guarantees and obligations to protected families. Within its network, a family name can bring a claim to protection alongside promises inherited from earlier generations. A person's place in that arrangement may have been established before they understood it. Belonging means discovering what the institution owes the family and what obligations the family carries in return.
