Chissak police station in Backlund.

The Chissak Police Station in Backlund first appears in Volume 2 as a minor, unnamed precinct in the capital’s sprawling law-enforcement network. Over the course of the series it quietly evolves from a routine constabulary post into a covert hub for Beyonder investigations, its detectives increasingly drawn into the machinations of secret organizations and the machinations of the Tarot Club. By the later volumes the station’s corridors have witnessed everything from routine theft inquiries to the containment of rampaging Sealed Artifacts, its officers unknowingly serving as frontline witnesses to the hidden war between orthodox churches and hidden cults.
