Providence County is a rural Oregon county. Old growth forest, farmland, small roads. The Shepherds of Providence arrived several years ago, brought money and goodwill, and outnumbered the legacy residents through sheer demographics and consistent civic participation. They now hold most local positions. The tension between locals and Shepherds is real and mostly unspoken. Claire Fairchild is the face of all of it.

The Shepherds of Providence are a cult. Claire Fairchild is their leader and their vessel, chosen by the Old Man of the Forest, a deity tied to Providence County and its land. Members are called the Found. Initiates are Seekers. The Hearth is the compound outside Greyfall where most members live. The community is genuine. The warmth is genuine. The theology is real to everyone inside it. Claire believes every word.
