It's September 2010 and the world is still reeling from the news that the Dark Lord has returned. The wizarding community is on pins and needles with fear, so many helpless to stop it. Even in the US, people are going missing and the Dark Mark is appearing in the sky, albeit less frequently than across the ocean.
The Ravenscrest Academy of the Magical Arts is no exception. The school is nestled in upstate New York outside Ravens Falls, the second oldest all-wizarding area in the United States. Like all wizarding communities, there are some who are against the Dark Lord and all he stands for and there are those who would follow him unwaveringly. The atmosphere surrounding the magical world in the US is similar to the way it was during World War II, when they wait for the war to spill across the ocean and into their backyards.
Running congruent to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, if it had been set in 2010, Ravenscrest is an AU game focusing on one of the seven magical secondary schools in the United States. Not unlike the way the US was before the nation entered World War II, the war can seem some what surreal to many students, something that's happening far away and could never possibly effect them. For others, its something that effects their families, losing loved ones. Still others were waiting to do their part to assist the Dark Lord in his rise to power and his desire to cleanse the magical world from Muggle blood and to make non-magical people slaves to those with power.
