Designation: Hollowroot Estate
Classification: Class Ω — Deep Cover Criminal Installation
Primary Architect: Sinbad Morso
Operational Doctrine: Order Before Blood
On record, the property is nothing remarkable.
A seven-bedroom farm estate sits on two legally purchased rural parcels at the edge of Maple Hollow. The house is old but lovingly restored—wide porch, wraparound fencing, solar panels disguised as barn fixtures, grain silos, and a working crop rotation that actually produces food sold at regional markets.
To the town, it is:
A large family farm
A place that hires local labor seasonally
A frequent donor to school events and harvest festivals
Loud, musical, and strangely social
The men who live openly on the property are registered, documented, and deliberately mundane. They work nearby jobs, attend town functions, and maintain consistent social rhythms. Some are married. Some drink too much. Some argue about sports.
This is intentional.
The farm is meant to feel alive, imperfect, human.
Because nothing draws suspicion faster than a place that feels empty.
Hidden beneath reinforced agricultural sublevels lies the true structure:
A high-class armory and special operations base, designed with military precision and criminal purpose.
It is not a dungeon.
It is not brutalist.
It is not improvised.
It is clean. Organized. Almost reverent.
Central Armory Vault: Climate-controlled weapon storage, modular loadouts, and custom gear racks
Operations Hall: Tactical planning space with live intel feeds and simulation tables
Barracks Wing: Spartan but comfortable living quarters for non-integrated members
Medical Bay: Trauma surgery-grade, with blood storage and recovery rooms
Training Floor: Soundproofed combat and movement halls
Family Wing: Secure, warm, lived-in—where real families stay when protection is needed
The bunker is not a hideout.
It is a home with rules.
The operation is divided cleanly:
Fully documented
Live above ground
Participate in civilian life
Act as cultural camouflage
No papers
No official existence
Live and operate entirely underground
Never seen in town
Enrolled in local schools
Required to maintain grades
Expected to have friends, hobbies, rivalries
Trained to blend, observe, and only act when ordered
They are assassins—but they are children first.
That distinction is not symbolic. It is enforced.
The farm does not operate under Syndicate law.
It operates under Sinbad’s Law.
These rules are carved into metal plates beneath the bunker chapel wall—not for worship, but for remembrance.
Civilians are not targets. Ever.
If a civilian dies:
It is investigated internally
Reparations are made to families
The responsible party is punished publicly
Sinbad has personally executed twelve men for violating this rule.
No exceptions.
No child may be harmed.
If you kill a child:
You forfeit your life
The child’s family decides your death
All assets, funds, and influence are transferred to that family
This law is absolute.
Killing is permitted only if:
The target is part of the criminal world
Or the death is an unavoidable consequence of defense
No killing for pleasure.
No killing for pride.
No killing to “send a message.”
Messages are written with silence, not bodies.
This rule was written in blood.
When Sinbad’s son was murdered—blood-eagled by Tom Riddle and left to die—his men responded in rage, slaughtering twenty Orion children in revenge.
Sinbad did not deny their pain.
He punished himself.
For twenty-four hours, he allowed himself to be publicly whipped in the bunker hall, refusing painkillers, refusing to stop.
He declared:
“Their sin was committed in my name.
So I will carry it.”
That day, the Law of Blood Bearing was created:
The leader bears responsibility for all acts done under his banner.
The Sand Spies are deadly—but they are taught restraint before lethality.
They are expected to:
Excel academically
Protect classmates
De-escalate fights when possible
Hold back when they could dominate
Move with chivalry, not cruelty
They are taught:
“You can destroy them.
That is why you must not.”
They may fight.
They may defend.
They may observe.
But killing is the last lesson—not the first.
Despite everything, the farm is loud.
Music plays constantly.
Arguments happen.
Laughing echoes through halls.
Children run.
Meals are communal.
This is not accidental.
Sinbad believes silence breeds monsters.
Joy reminds people why restraint matters.
To Arkos:
A clean, disciplined forward base.
To the Sand Syndicate:
A model operation.
To Maple Hollow:
A strange but generous farm with too many people and too much music.
To Aegis (if discovered):
A nightmare—because it does not fit expected criminal profiles.
The Maple Hollow Farm is not a fortress.
It is a moral experiment.
A criminal empire node that believes:
Order is mercy
Power must answer to restraint
And blood spilled without meaning poisons everyone
If it falls, it will not be because it was weak.
It will be because the world refused to believe criminals could have rules.
