WELCOME TO HARMONY. You can’t remember how you heard of this place, yet, here you are. You can remember where you came from. Maybe you’ve come to escape. Maybe you’re running from your past, your enemies, your friends, or maybe even yourself. Maybe you just want a new chance, a new life, a change of pace. Maybe you didn’t come for yourself. You came for your family, for your significant other. Maybe you came to find someone you have lost. Maybe you didn’t come here on your own at all, and someone else brought you here. Perhaps for your own good, or maybe just to get rid of you. Maybe they want to try and change you, for better or worse. Maybe you came from a different time, place, or existence, and when the offer was given to come here, you couldn’t say no. Perhaps you were given a new lease on life, literally, a chance to do it all again. To do it all right. No matter the reason, you are here all the same. |
To get in, you had to go through an interview with a man that called himself only ‘The Doctor’. He doesn’t expect money, or payment, or some kind of incentive for accepting you. All you have to do is listen. And you find yourself listening. Perhaps enraptured, perhaps skeptical, perhaps hopeful. Perhaps impatiently or against your will. But you listen all the same. This ‘Doctor’ offers you wonderful, fantastical things: a path back into life when you are long dead; an existence you couldn’t have in the place you came from; ways to make yourself a new existence from the body you once had; to heal you; to bring you back to your best age; to let you start over. Or even to make you forget. Some part of it tempts you. Your curiosity might get the better of you, or your need for a change. Your need to forget. Maybe all of it tempts you. This place is so different from where you have come. A chance to live life again, to live a life you never could have had without this place. A chance to turn back from your past and start anew. He slides the paper towards you, and it states in clear, no uncertain terms, that there are rules to this place. They don’t seem to like much to ask to some, but to others, these rules might be detrimental, or even terrifying. Many have walked away from those rules, unbelieving that this man could do any of the things he promises. Unbelieving that this could ever change anything, or that things would ever be better. But you didn’t. You read the rules, you weighed your options. You knew that signing this document might not be the best plan, but whatever your motivation, you sign your name at the bottom. Maybe you signed it almost instantly. Perhaps you took it with you home, to dissect it, try to find the loophole. Maybe someone signed it for you, forcing you to this fate. Perhaps you had no choice but to sign, unless you wanted to return to the place you already knew, or perhaps even to your grave. Maybe you signed it, fully intending to break the rules the first chance you got. But eventually, you took that pen and signed that paper, for better or worse. And that is where your journey begins. | |

 Not anymore. Welcome to Obsidian City where the sun never shines, the crime never sleeps and love never dies. A dark city in all sense of the word, Obsidian City is lucky to see one day of sunshine. If the city is dark at night, it isn't much better during the day. Too much smog and cloud blocks out the half decent light that struggles in between the skyscrapers. People make do though, possibly a little angrier than those who live under the undivided sun, a little more miserable, a little more hopeless. This is no city for the weak, and it certainly isn't a tourist hot-spot. Obsidian City was never a shining city on the hill, it was built and born as if already crumbling down. Beneath the heavy, dark clouds that rarely seem to let up, lies a sprawling mecca of theft, corruption and greed. It really is no wonder that in such sunlight starved streets, there is little light to be had in the city’s inhabitants. Each jewel-named district hardly lives up to its name: The Ruby District, a self-sufficient community of its own, ruled by whores, who are the law. The rich are safely tucked away in The Onyx Towers, far from their poorer brethren, the utterly impoverished who languish in the Ivory Narrows. Outside of The Ruby District, where the only laws are their laws, it is not the oft corrupt and always under funded police force that holds the most sway in the run of Obsidian City. No, the city is divided up and controlled by three major crime families, in close environs that seem to speak of a constant threat of war between two or more of the ruling families. The Russians led by the Petrovskii Family, from their base of operations, Duma, an upscale nightclub known for its beautiful women and for the illegal deals made in dark back rooms, lord over the Diamond District. The Irish led by the O'Donnell Family, from the Irish pub that the first O'Donnell to come to America founded, long ago, loud and busy and full of their history, control the Emerald District. The Italians led by the Pavoni Family, from their Italian family restaurant in the center of the Topaz district, and come with as much flourish and ceremony in both their illegal deeds and their lifestyle. The Families are not the only ones that the populace should fear, as there have been recent whispers that there is a serial killer preying upon the inhabitants of the city, lurking in the shadows and bringing death with them. As if the population of Obsidian City didn't have enough on their plate, they now need to look over their shoulder at every step. And so do you.

 Available | Premise | FAQ Rules | Apply | Character Directory What if after the fateful three-way duel of 1899, Gellert Grindelwald did not flee England alone? What if he was somehow able to convince his friend Albus Dumbledore to accompany him--to seek out their ambition of taking over the world and controlling it for the greater good? The Neuen Assistentenauftrag presently controls the majority of the European continent, administered jointly by Chancellor Grindelwald and the Lord Protector Albus Dumbledore. The disciplinary excesses of the Chancellor seem to be held in relative check by the Lord Protector, who is regarded as fondly as the Chancellor is feared. Within the NAA, the highest offense is treason. Those who are able to conform to its laws enjoy the all the freedoms and privileges offered in the world free of the Statute of Secrecy. Britain's integration into the NAA in 1970 was the source of much division within the British magical population. Some argued in favor of allying for the economic benefits and the ideological tenants of egalitarianism within the wizarding community, while others protested yielded power to what appeared to be an increasingly dictatorial regime. In 1978, the British Ministry of Magic operates as a loyal satellite of the NAA. Territories of the NAA are secretly policed by a German-based military division, the Order of the Phoenix, who see little difference between dissent and disloyalty. Over the past few years, an underground resistance has begun to arise in England, a resistance whose acts are becoming increasingly more daring as the death toll of the NAA continues to rise. |

 You think you know a story, but you only know how it ends. To get to the heart of the story, you have to go back to the beginning... COMING SOON! Opening with Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Metis, and Gaea The Greek gods were known to meddle in the lives of mortals. They had scandalous affairs, unleashed curses, and orchestrated wars that decimated populations. But what happened before that? Hesiod speaks of the beginnings of the Greek pantheon, the start of the reign of the Olympians. The sons of Cronus drew lots to divide the cosmos, and each established his reign over a third of the world. Zeus had two wives before Hera, and numerous liaisons that were soon over. What happened to Metis? And Themis? What of Mnemosyne, and Eurynome, and Demeter? What led Poseidon to take the Sea Goddess Amphitrite to wife? And how did Persephone catch Hades' eye? Well, we are about to find out... |
