These illustrations draw inspiration from the once-celebrated Parque Isidora Goyenechea of Lota — a romantic European garden, established in the 19th century under the patronage of Lady Isidora Goyenechea, herself a formidable figure in the coal empire of the South.
The original grounds, with their winding paths, ornate sculptures and sea-facing vistas, were conceived as a haven amidst the industrious heart of Lota. A place where art and nature might flourish amid the shadow of the mines.
Here, reimagined through a darker lens, the park is presented not as a retreat, but as a realm of gothic mystery — its ivy-clad ruins, forgotten statues and windswept terraces now bearing silent witness to an age of faded grandeur and encroaching shadows.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Talcahuano’s port thrived as one of Chile’s most important maritime hubs — a bustling gateway for coal, timber, and goods destined for distant markets.
Key to this prosperity was the railway link between the inland coalfields and the harbour. The old railway entrance, with its brick arches and iron structures, once welcomed a steady stream of freight trains laden with the lifeblood of the region’s industry. These iron-clad convoys would pass beneath the industrial archways, bringing coal from Lota and timber from the interior to waiting ships.
The rhythmic clatter of wheels on track, the hiss of steam, and the shouts of stevedores were once a daily chorus here. Over time, earthquakes, modernisation and shifts in transport saw the railway’s importance fade, replaced by road traffic and newer port facilities.
Yet fragments of this industrial past remain — silent brick arches and rusted tracks, now forgotten by many but still echoing the energy of a bygone age. The old railway entrance stands as a quiet witness to Talcahuano’s rich maritime and industrial heritage.

Raziel Kreutzwaldi was last seen amidst the shadows of Centralis Port, clutching a vial of laudanum discreetly acquired — or rather, reclaimed — from the family’s own trading house. To some, an act of theft; to her, merely a rightful possession. In the markets of the Great Empire, such distinctions are often blurred.
Not all of Talcahuano’s secrets were writ upon its grand avenues. Francisco Bilbao Street, narrow and winding, bore the quiet pulse of the port’s everyday life. Beneath timber eaves and fading shutters, voices whispered of business both fair and foul — the rhythm of a city lived between shadows.
Its houses leaned with time, their iron balconies and brickwork softened by salt air and rain. By dusk, the street took on a different life: gaslight and mist wrapped its corners, footsteps grew slower, and stray glances lingered too long. Stories abounded of unseen figures slipping between alleyways — and of goods and letters exchanged with neither witness nor record.
Though much of the old street lies veiled beneath modern facades, those who wander after twilight may yet catch the scent of old iron and sea, and hear the echoes of lives once lived in half-light.
Against all edicts, Raziel Kreutzwaldi crossed into the forbidden Docks of Centralis — a place where few dare tread, and fewer still return unscathed. There, amidst the veiled dealings of the merchant houses, she procured a vial of laudanum. Some might call it theft… though in her eyes, one cannot truly steal from one’s own bloodline.
Through the smoke and steel of Talcahuano’s port, Raziel Kreutzwaldi passed beneath the great railway arches — the heart of the city’s industrial might.
Freight wagons clattered overhead, laden with coal and timber, the hiss of steam and the groan of iron echoing through the narrow passages. Dockworkers moved in shadows, merchants bartered beneath the soot-stained brick, and the air was thick with the scent of salt and engine oil.
It was here, amidst this living artery of trade, that Raziel pursued her business — though none dared ask what cargo she sought, nor for whom she truly worked.
