The Belmont

The Belmont first opened its doors in 19th century France and, at the time of its founding, it was a gentlemen’s club. Back then, it was an exclusive spot where killers could go to pass the time and plan their work, hidden from the public eye. Over the ensuing years, farsighted Patrician Isobel Belmont managed to earn the full support of the Stone, and began a rapid expansion, that transformed the Belmont into an ever-present chain of hotels and historical shops that act as neutral zones for killers all over the world.

 Today, the Belmont is a respected institution of killer society. It has a thousand different faces in a thousand cities, and still manages to remain ever true to its image.

 It’s the only place where killers can unbuckle their holsters and relax a little.

The Belmont is an impartial institution that answers only to the Stone. Belmont guests are all equals, and all equally subject to the same rules. There are no exceptions.

You can discuss business at the Belmont, but you cannot actively work, and you cannot eliminate anybody. Transgressors immediately become renegades.

 If you have Gold to spend, at the Belmont you can find:

• Hospitality: the Belmont is a safe place, and their security is the most precious good in the world of killers. Even you need to sleep with both eyes closed, now and then
