Canonicity

Originally written for the release of the HBS videogame, this series of novellas have long been apocryphal. In February 2025 the first installment of this series was released by CGL as a canonical product. At this time, future installments have yet to be released and and thus are still apocryphal, though they are expected to be officially published imminently. Until such a time unpublished installments and the characters and events there in must remain apocryphal.
