BACKSTORY:

Many centuries ago, a young woman named Morwenna of East Town was born. Able to perform magic, she used her abilities to help the people in her village, creating simple healing spells and remedies. Her children also inherited this power, and witches as a species were born.

For many years, witches lived peacefully with humans, marrying them and continuing to grow. Three Circles formed, as a way to differentiate between the different ideologies that the witches possessed and create a fellowship between them, and an Inner Circle was created to govern them.

Circle Daybreak, along with Twilight, Midnight, and the Inner Circle, had been one of the original witch circles, and the only one who sought alliances with humans, partially because male witches were rare and due to the centuries-long blood feud between witches and vampires. The members wanted to live with humans in harmony, and even attempted to teach humans spells.

However, during the 15th and 16th centuries, humans began persecuting those suspected of witchcraft, associating them with Satanic worship and horrible atrocities. They tortured, hung, and burned suspected witches, prompting the witch clans to shroud themselves in secrecy for their own safety, and to disband Circle Daybreak forever.

PLOT:

Now, in recent times, after centuries of living in secrecy, the witches are ready to reinstate themselves as the superior species on Earth. The witches of Circle Midnight have begun pressuring the Inner Circle and Circle Twilight to declare war on humankind. Some witches, opposing this idea, have secretly begun to join and reestablish Circle Daybreak as a way to help prepare and protect humans.

You will play one of these witches. Which Circle will you join, and what side will you take in this upcoming war against humanity?

LOCATIONS:

- The Crystal Flower: The supply shop owned by the Aston family. One of the best places to get crystals, herbs, and anything else needed for spellcasting. Laurels decorate the sign, declaring it as a place of business for witches. Proof of being a witch (often demonstrated by showing some sort of laurel symbol) is required to obtain any ingredients needed for powerful spells, beyond just simple crystals and common herbs.

- The Black Laurel: A nightclub popular amongst supernatural beings, though targeted mainly at witches. Some werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters, and fae do visit, and even the occassional human wanders in (often to disastruous consequences for themselves -- they often end up being taken home by someone and terrible things happen to them). There is a back room that is available only for witches.

- Blue Door: A local tea and coffee house that is a popular daytime hangout place for witches. A kindly old witch owns the place, and if you butter her up a bit, she may even offer to read your fortune in your tea leaves -- she'll even offer for humans, who may think she's a little bit batty. Laurels form the border of the menu, declaring it a shop owned by a witch. Its hours are 7:30 am - 12:00 am on weekdays, and 7:30 am - 1:00 am on Saturdays. It is closed on Sundays.

- Various family homes: The various homes and manors of the characters in the RP. Older families tend to have more money and thus more elaborate homes. Additionally, if a character is apprenticed to a witch of another family, they may move into that family's home until their apprenticeship is over.
