Nockfell is a small rural American town located in Nockfell County that serves as the main setting for Sally Face.

History

The town of Nockfell was established in approximately 1623[1] when a Native American tribe known as the Greys settled around Wendigo Lake. According to legend, the tribe witnessed an unusual light while walking through the forest and sent their strongest hunter to investigate. When the hunter returned, he told the tribe of the lake, and soon the entire tribe had migrated there. When people began disappearing, it was revealed the hunter had “become a beast” and was eating people. In order to continue living on the land, the tribe made a deal with the beast which required them to make sacrifices to it.

In 1663, Citlali Grey—the tribe’s seer—spoke a prophecy, bringing together a faction of the tribe and forming the cult known as the Devourers of God. Over the centuries, the cult would secretly practice their occult beliefs and rituals, gaining a supposedly large following both within the community and potentially nationwide. Their actions are the source for numerous strange phenomena that have occurred in the town for decades, giving Nockfell a notorious reputation. However, the community at large managed to maintain the appearance of a quiet and peaceful town.

When the Addison family arrived from overseas in 1887, Alyson Rosenberg, the youngest and last surviving member of her family, sold them her family’s land out of loneliness. The Addisons then constructed an apartment complex, along with an underground extension of the cult's temple.

Nockfell Mills was established in 1934. The factory would provide a majority of the town’s employment for approximately 7 decades. Throughout the decades, the mill would mysteriously catch fire numerous times. These fires were presumably started by the cult, most likely as part of their rituals.

In 1992, Sal Fisher moved to Nockfell with his dad, residing in Addison Apartments. Even then, Nockfell was subject to ominous occurrences and events during the Fisher's stay in the apartment building, including the disappearance of various students from Nockfell High.

Nockfell, along with most of the world, became infected by the Plague of Shadows in 2004 due to the machinations of the Devourers of God. Though the Void was eventually sealed, 33% of the world (and a presumably large portion of Nockfell's population) were consumed by the shadows completely.
