In May 1945, Albus Dumbledore defeated Grindewald, the evilest and darkest wizard to date. One month later, Tom Riddle, the charismatic Head Boy of Hogwarts, left the castle for the last time.
Years later, the unthinkable happened. Tom Riddle, at the age of 40, became the youngest Minister for Magic ever. This young, attractive man with such an urbane nature invigorated the masses, and his induction into office brought upon the "Golden Age" of wizarding Britain. Or so the public thought.
Over the years, while Tom Riddle was ascending the ranks of the Ministry, he was also gathering his followers, followers who referred to him as Lord Voldemort and themselves Death Eaters, who were in awe of his patience and fortitude, and his plans for Britain. He would rule the wizarding world with an iron fist, purifying the race of wizards and expelling those who did not belong among the elite. But he knew in order to do so without attracting the attention of his critics, he would have to do it slyly. Slowly. And so he waited. Worked.
Death Eaters and Death Eater Supporters were slowly integrated into the Ministry. Lord Voldemort's closest followers were appointed to important positions throughout the Ministry. Supporters began to take spots that opened up in the Wizengamot. The public remained unaware, unskeptical of the people Tom Riddle appointed; to them, he could do no wrong. Things had been great for the wizarding world, and everyone attributed this fact to Minister Riddle.
In secret, Lord Voldemort and his Inner Circle were working on a secret project to rid the world of muggleborns. Not even his Outer Circle of Death Eaters knew about this secret project, and in 1980, when Tom Riddle followers took over 50% of the Wizengamot and therefore had the legal power to protect the Minister and his followers, he decided it was time to put his plans into action.
In August 1980, muggleborns began disappearing. Muggleborns that had done extremely well in school, or were highly respected, or held important places within the Ministry. However, it wasn't until the 31st of August when the Media and the people of Britain took notice - when four people went missing from their homes in a very unique way. Wizards in dark robes and masks broke into their homes and catching the occupants of each home unawares, kidnapped the muggleborns and disappeared into the night.
Causa Mortis is an AU MWPP game based in 1980. The question is how different would the world be if Tom Riddle took the political reins before he ever began his reign of terror on the wizarding world. There's no prophecy, no Order (yet!), and no way to tell what's going to happen. Game opens September 1 - so get your applications in early! Most Main Characters Available!
