STEP INTO THE TELEPHONE BOX, DIAL "6-4-2-2-4..."
It takes more than winning a war to get to, "All was well." In 2005, the Wizarding World is facing challenges it never expected. Recent advances in muggle technology threaten to put an end to the Statute of Secrecy and the fragile peace magical society has finally achieved.
One mysterious new group aims to put an end to the Statute by any means necessary. They've drawn up a list of enemies, posted it for all to see and, one by one, terrible things are happening to the people whose names appeared on it.
...AND YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY TO THE 8TH FLOOR. |

The Game |
It's been a year and a half since the fall of Voldemort and the Wizarding World is still rebuilding. The Death Eaters have been tried, Hogwarts has been rebuilt, and everyone is attempting to move on with their lives. However, most of them have forgotten the biggest thing they should have learned during the war; the importance of love. It was, after all, Dumbledore's message that there could always be move love in this world.
While working on an experiment to alter the properties of the popular love potion, Amortentia, Unspeakable Hermione Granger makes a mistake that leaves everyone within the Ministry, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade on that day fall in love with the person whom they're nearest to. While everyone is stuck with the wrong person, or in some cases, the right ones, The Ministry frantically tries to correct their mistake, but their attempt to bring everyone out of their love-drunk stupor only leads to everyone magically finding their soulmate. Not everyone will be happy about who they're fated to be with, but some of them may just find what they've been looking for.
Amortentia is set in the year 2000, when the Wizarding World is still recovering from the events of the war. We're focused on the characters exploring all kinds of relationships: romantic, family, friendship, etc. and character development. Every two to three weeks, the mods will introduce a new plot point for the game, which will keep things in motion for the first few months, with the plan being to let everyone keep things going with character interactions afterwards. |
Current Events |
The game will start out with characters being placed under a love potion and being stuck with random characters to be in love with. The plot will then shift to people discovering who their soulmates are when the Ministry botches their attempt to fix their mistake. After those plots are settled, we have a few game-wide plots planned with magical creatures, magical catastrophes, etc. |
The Players |
Amortentia is currently seeking dedicated writers who are interested in character development, participating in game-wide plots, and moving the plot forward with character interactions. |
Coming Soon | Since we have yet to open, we're looking for as many characters as possible to get us rolling with the plot and we will make adjustments as we go. Some of our most wanted characters at the moment are: Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Harry Potter, and many others. |

You open your eyes and you are in a stately room with fine trappings and thick stone walls. You look outside and a dragon flies passed your window and yet that is clearly a sprawling, modern city you see in the distance. You search your room for any clue as to how you arrived in… where are you? All you find is a scroll inviting you to enjoy your stay in the Land of Make Believe. And that's when things get odd...

PAX LETALE:
GODS REAWAKENED
Something is stirring in Newport Beach, California.
One of the most affluent and exclusive areas in Orange County, Newport Beach is a safe, comfortable space where the real world has a tendency not to to intrude on the pleasures of its citizens. It's a nice, normal, friendly, monochromatic city in a county that's known for the same. In fact, many people say that the majority of Orange County seems like a construct designed to keep the troubles of real life out, creating a plasticine paradise that nothing dark or dirty can penetrate.
The residents of Pax Letale are slowing coming to know better.
Pax Letale is an exclusive luxury apartment building right on the beach, with easy access to the 405 and all the charm that Newport Beach has to offer. Its residents comprise a surprisingly eclectic demographic for Orange County and Newport in particular, with people from all walks of life being drawn to this building for reasons they can't quite identify.
The common thread that binds them, of course, is that they are each of them inhabited by a sleeping god.
As they spend more time at Pax, their gods are awakening, though -- and strange things are happening. Natural (and supernatural) mishaps and disasters, disappearing tenants, and quite recently, the concierge was brutally murdered.
There are whispers among some that the strange island in the bay, visible from the building, has something to do with all of this. Still others are compelled by the island; if it didn't sound crazy, they'd say it was calling to them.
They aren't crazy.
Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons. |
