Much like the Muggle England, the Wizarding world has always had a royal family. The one family who controlled everything and who ran everything with an iron fist. The Blacks are that family. The oldest and purest family in the wizarding world they have ruled Wizarding England for generations now, the crown passing from one member to the next or one branch to the next but always staying within the Black family. Those who live up to the Black name are treated to the finest things their money can buy. Clothes, jewels, tutors, and even in some cases friends.
But those who besmirch and do wrong to the name are cast out quickly and never looked upon again. Sirius Black the first did so in 1913. Known to be a man of the bottle, he let his inhibitions go one night and committed the ultimate crime. He not only revealed the magical world to the Muggle whore who sat upon his lap, but after a night spent in bed with her she ended up pregnant. Outraged that their king would do such a thing the rest of the Black family and the Ministry moved to have Sirius disowned and dethroned. Taking things one step further they not only stripped the king of his rights and title but did so to his branch of the family as well before passing it onto the next eligible heir; Cygnus Black the first.
His rule was a peaceful one marked only in tragedy with his death. Stepping up to claim the throne in 1943 his eldest son, Pollux Black has ruled steadily since his fathers passing. The country, and his family thriving under his rule.
Things are not as peaceful as they look though. For the last five years a movement has been building quietly in the shadows, a group of Knights recruiting people to their cause. Their goal? To overthrow the Black family and take back their world once more.
1970 is now upon them. With the start of a new year and a new decade the peace that has played a primary role in the Wizarding world is about to be broken and war is going to start. The question though is; Do you stand with your crown and country? Or do you fall in line with the group only known as the Knights and fight for a new world that may not ever succeed?

"….Voldemort's powerful now. You don't know who his supporters are, you don't know who's working for him and who isn't; you know he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able stop themselves. You're scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing … The Ministry of Magic's in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere … panic … confusion …"
Across Europe the Wizarding Community lies in fear. Voldemort and his followers are on the rise, leaving behind a reign of terror in their wake. As his numbers increase, Wizards begins to grow more uneasy, increasingly choosing to fall prey to his Empire, out of fear, unwilling to stand up and fight.
In spite of the increasing danger, a small group of vigilante Wizards has begun to pull ranks, daring to do what the Ministry fears to do; fight. The Order of the Phoenix is slowly growing into a force to be reckoned with, threatening not only Voldemort, but the Ministry itself.
Change is on the brink and the students of Hogwarts. No longer will they be safe behind the confines of the castle, unaware to the real dangers of the world. They will soon be forced to make their own loyalties known; a decision that will affect not only the rest of their lives, but the entire Wizarding World.
Amongst the darkness, these students are potentially the light needed to give the Order the man power to take on Voldemort’s forces. As both sides fight to gain support, one question lies: which side do you choose?
Game Opens February 1!

The spirit of Shakespearean Theatre lives on in Stratford, Ontario in Canada. Established in 1915, was the Stratford Liberal Arts University. The school where your favorite characters from William Shakespeare's plays enroll or teach.
Tragedy has struck the school this year when the President of the University, Hamilton Prince Sr. died under mysterious circumstances during the summer. To make the it more controversial, the late President was replaced by his brother Claudius Prince, who married widow Gertrude Prince only a couple months after the tragic death. The staff are nervous to see the affect this will have on English Professor, and only son of the former President, Hamilton Prince Jr. So far the school has tried to go back to normal.
The Winter Semester has just started. The winter productions will be starting rehearsals soon, and all the classes are already going underway. Soon enough, it will be midterms. The Student Union has gone through changes, since Duncan Scott was kicked out of school, leaving Nathaniel Bath to take over as President of the Student Union.
Student life seems to be getting more hectic and full of stress and the Professor's lives aren't much easier. With all the controversy and strange coincidences, will they be able to make it through the year? Follow your favorite plots, or create some more drama for yourself. For “All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players”! |
