Death; the end of life; the total and permanent cessation of all vital functions of an organisms. Each and every life ends as such, with one final breath but what if you could take that back? Take back that last breath, breathe life into someone long since past.. in the year 2023, it's not all that far fetched. From out of the Department of Mysteries finally came the veil. It was due for inspection as many odd things had been happening in the room containing it. It was thought that the removal of said object wouldn't upset much but it did. The very same day that the ancient object left the place it had resided for hundreds of years people began popping up. Normally, that wouldn't be a particularly terrible thing but the people whose faces started appearing at both the Ministry and Hogwarts were known to be dead. As it were, apparently, the dead were returning.

With death in a reverse cycle, the Ministry is in a panic. No one knows why they're here, how they've come to be, and what this means for their world. The dead and the living have always had a rather thick line between them and with people stepping over - with souls becoming flesh and blood once mnore - who's to say what will happen?

What if the Prophecy that made Harry Potter the 'Boy who lived' hadn't been given to the Dark Lord? What if a falsified Prophecy had been passed to him instead?

In 1980, Severus Snape overheard a prophecy about the person with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord. However, before he could hand over this knowledge to Voldemort- he was apprehended by Dumbledore. Knowing that Severus Snape could never betray Lily Evans, he convinced him not to pass on the Prophecy. Instead, using the knowledge that Severus Snape was an excellent Occlumens, they managed to create a false prophecy- one about the Dark Lord rising to power in the future, however, they don't say when. It is open ended, but the Dark Lord believes his only inside man at Hogwarts. He has no choice. Though he has been convicted of unspeakable crimes, he manages to disappear. He travels the world- studying anything he can in every country from Romania to Albania. Awaiting the day he will rise to ultimate power.

The terror stops. Lily and James Potter have their son, Harry James. The Wizarding World is at peace once more. This group of wizards that caused terror earlier seem to have disbanded. However, they are merely lying in wait. Only meeting in secret once every few years to see who has remained faithful- those who have not mysteriously 'disappear'. It is at the Qudditch World Cup when these blood supremacist decide to ultimately make themselves known. They attack the camp outside the stadium. They Auror's aren't quick enough to apprehend them. The only thing that's left is the horrible green mark hanging in the sky. While Tom Riddle is their ultimate suspect, they have no proof. He has not yet "Returned" from his study abroad.

When he does, Dumbledore is ready. The man who returns to Hogwarts to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor is charming, and brilliant. Dumbledore hires him on the spot- what better way to watch your enemy then by keeping them under your own roof? Dumbledore is certain that he will not run again, and if he is the one doing these terrible things, they will catch him at the school.

The year is 1995, When Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts. A few changes have been made to the staff over the summer, the most noticeable being the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor; A Mr. Tom Marvolo Riddle. His new post is widely questioned by the wizarding world; The man has been convicted of murders throughout the seventies, why would Dumbledore hire him to teach young children? Dumbledore simply plays it off saying that he has applied "twice before". That he has not been able to be convicted of anything. Mr. Riddle has, after all, been studying abroad since the 1980's, and is very knowledgeable on his subject.

Harry Potter and Tom Riddle are about to cross paths, For neither can live while the other survives...

Most Wanted: Severus Snape, Peter Pettigrew, Arthur Weasley, and Cho Chang among many others!

What's the price of freedom?

In 2003, Voldemort and his forces won the war against England. England was the last in a series of countries to fall to the Dark Lord, its populace overwhelmed by swift and furious attack. However, the victory won, while brutal, was not expected by the Light. Those of pure blood and willing to swear allegiance were able to resume lives close to normal. It was only the ones who continued to fight who suffered the brunt of his will as society began to shift toward a police state, with the Death Eaters at its helm.

But the loss of freedom was worth it to many, who thought it was a fair trade for the security that it brought. In 2008, as muggles are beginning to be eliminated through sterilization, reeducation and manipulation, there are many who remain unaware or who deliberately choose to ignore the world being constructed around them.

But there are those who cannot.

A small group of Resistance fighters has formed. Led by those who managed to evade capture or escape the wizarding prison of Azkaban, this group fights a slow war amongst the people of London, trying to build support against a government that has sworn itself a threat to all who oppose it. The Aurors have changed into a force to battle what the Dark Lord considers dissent, striking at the few individuals it can find.

Which side will you fight for?

À Armes Égales is an AU, post-war Harry Potter roleplay set in 2008; it is Deathly Hallows non-compliant. This game will focus on dark material, and is not suitable for underage players. À Armes Égales is set to open on May 24, 2008.

Rules | Character List | Application | Contact List | Played By's Are you growing tired of all those Post War games that seem to be popping up left and right now that the seventh book has been released? This game will take you back - back to when there were games where plot was the centric focus and things weren't always happy. Instead, they were serious, dark, and unknown. At Snitched, Voldemort was never defeated that night when Hogwarts went under siege. In fact, that night has yet to occur because the Death Eaters arrived at Bill and Fleur's wedding and captured many key Order members and guests in attendance. Some died, but most were imprisoned or fled somewhere safe. Since that fateful night, Voldemort has gained innumerable strength to the point where he is unstoppable. He owns the Ministry and the Wizarding World. Secretly, he owns the Muggle world and part of Europe where the Death Eaters flourish. Now that his reign is no longer contested, he has set about putting his plans into order. Muggleborns, Halfbloods, and those that are traitors to the cause are imprisoned. Some might be allowed out as slaves, providing of course that there are Death Eaters and purebloods who want them. Those that have yet to be caught are forced to flee and hide. Those that are still pureblooded are allowed to live neutrally amongst society. They are not forced to take the mark, but they are required to obey the new law - Voldemort's Law. Their loyalty must be unwavering - if they support another cause, then they must be absolutely mum about it. But word to the wise: Don't say Voldemort's name; the word itself will surely lead to the capture of those responsible no matter what their status in society. This game is not for the faint at heart. There will be dark themes and happiness will only be found in hidden corners or alleyways. There are those who will fight, who want Voldemort's reign to end, but doing so will take time, tears, blood, and sacrifice.
