Svartbult

Svartbult is a town in Sweden and the hometown to SGA assassin and tracker Gull Gunvaldsson.
== Geography and Architecture ==
Svartbult is a coastal town that sees a lot of business from fishing. However, it's dark, gloomy and run-down - it's rife with run-down buildings and no building looks like the one next to it. Broken windows and resident-specific ban signs outside establishments (ex. 'All welcome, except Isak') are very common, due to the spiteful, vengeful attitude fostered by the town's social climate.
== Notable Events and Cultural Motifs ==
=== The Svartbult Drownings ===
The Svartbult Drownings actually refers to two events.
One event was in the early 1900s, in which fishermen took various visiting elites hostage as form of protest, demanding better pay. Although their demands were met, the fishermen still drowned their hostages, in order to send a vicious message.
The second event was in the 1990s, in which several drowning victims were found washed up on the Svartbult rocks over the course of a few weeks. The victims were never documented or reported to have entered Svartbult by land at any point, but doctors estimated that they must have drowned mere feet away from the rocks themselves, making it a mystery how they'd suddenly appeared, since no wreckages of scuttled ships were found, and no ships had been recorded passing by that area before the drownings. It is contested whether this was the work of a serial killer, or something more anomalous.
=== Black Bolt Tradition ===
The tradition of the black bolt is a symbol of spite and contempt in Svartbult's culture. If someone has upset you, it is common practice to shoot a crossbow bolt through their window to send a message- white for forgiveness, red as a warning, and black as a final warning. Most people jump straight to black bolts. The window does not have to be open when you shoot it. This means that most Svartbult citizens own crossbows, and there have been several noted casualties from this tradition.
== Notable Residents ==
* Gull Gunvalsson - Gunvaldsson originally comes from Svartbult, but it is implied that she had a troubling time there, and took up smoking to cope with it. The crossbow mania engulfing Svartbult explains her prowess.
== Trivia ==
* Svartbult is Swedish for Black Bolt.
