So said Sirius Black about the beliefs of his parents, but, what if to be a Black actually made you royalty? In 1649, the Black Family Dynasty declared themselves rulers of the Magical Population of Great Britain and have reigned since then. Like many rulers, the family has faced a multitude of complications and threats to its rule over the hundreds of years it has reigned, but it remains strong. For now. The year is now 1979. Whispers mingle the air foreshadowing the change that is on the way. King Orion Black I, sits on the throne after the tragic and suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of his father King Arcturus Black II in 1976. However, while he sits firm on the throne, the ship has began to rock. A recent surge of deaths has struck the family. Some may attribute it to the age of the victims, but, then again, most healthy wizards in their 60s and 70s do not suddenly drop dead. Nevertheless, nothing untoward has been proven, yet. However, assassinations are not the only problems plaguing the Dynasty. In 1977, Orion's heir turned his back on the family, renounced the Dynasty and began associations with muggleborn sympathises. He was disowned mimicking the disownment of his cousin Bellatrix, in 1975, after she pledged her allegiance to a false lord. Then, there are those outside the family who threaten its existence. The Ministry of Magic has been becoming more and more vocal calling for reforms. Only a few have been met, but it has not stopped them, especially now Albus Dumbledore has finally accepted the pots of Minister. As well, conservatives who scorn the changes made by the Ministry are steadily becoming more and more frustrated. Who would lead such an opposition? Lord Voldemort, of course. His force known as the Death Eaters have been active since the 1970s and have been defined as a treasonous organisation by the old King Arcturus since 1975. However, it has not stopped them. Nothing will stop him until he gets what he seeks. Society has remained stable, but, as the foundations shake, one great push may have it tumbling over for good. For now, they remain content to rest on their line of succession that decrees that Prince Regulus Black will succeed his father, even as the rest in the line slowly drop dead around him. Perhaps the person behind it wants someone else on the throne? Maybe they do not realise that the line of succession might soon be changed forever? The line might soon mean nothing. After all, inheriting is not the only way to gain a throne. There is also conquest. Welcome to Crown and Country! A place where nothing is ever stagnant and the one with the crown is never really in control. |

Laws prohibit travel without Ministry approval, and increasingly, democracy seems to be giving way to a police state. Muggleborns and their advocates disappear in the night as terrorists spill innocent blood in the streets. Pureblood manors are burned and ransacked as an organization for peace lashes out to fight fire with fire. Chaos ensues.
The loudest question on everyone's minds and lips is the simplest: who will win?
No one is certain, and no one is certain what will be left for those winners when the smoke clears.
lockdown is a Marauder-Era AU roleplaying game, taking the world of Harry Potter and exploring the theme of an extended civil war and its effect on the populace. The themes of freedom, safety, peace and conflict, the opposing forces of light and dark, and the idea of what measures are called for in times of war will all be questioned, examined, and turned on their head. In the end, the work of the characters involved and the ends to which they are willing to go, are the only things that will decide Britain's ultimate fate.

INCOGNITO is an Alternate-Universe Marauder Era game set in 1980. The Statute of Secrecy has been broken, and Muggle awareness of Wizards has added a third element to the First Wizarding War. Wizards are required by Muggle Law to abide by the "Magical Registration Act" so they can be identified, but the Ministry of Magic is lax about Muggle Law, not giving it the full, serious weight it deserves. What will you choose? Will you remain... Incognito? | |||

On June 4th, 1973, the first sighting of the Dark Mark was reported over the home of Quentin Parrish, the Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and a Muggleborn. Two days later, Albus Dumbledore met with Minerva McGonagall and Alastor Moody. One thing was certain: You-Know-Who was gearing up and the Ministry under Hensmoke was no longer equipped to handle the crisis. Not alone. |
