A deep secret; a mystery. A secret and powerful essence or remedy; an elixir. Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, was hailed as the great champion who would save the wizarding world from Lord Voldemort. He did his best; he sought and destroyed all the horcruxes he could find before he came face to face with Lord Voldemort in the Great Battle, on 31 July 1998. Many fell in the fight and both sides were all but destroyed. Harry Potter lay dead on the battlefield and Lord Voldemort had vanished. It seemed that victory, though bought at a terrible price, had come at last. Even as they grieved their fallen champion, the wizarding world began to rebuild from the ashes. What they did not know was that Harry Potter had failed. One horcrux yet remained. And it remains still, nine years later, though none are any closer to uncovering where, or what, it is. A new generation has come to Hogwarts under the guardianship of Headmistress McGonagall, while outside the castle, the wizarding world's rebuilding efforts are ever being thwarted and interrupted by mysterious disappearances, deaths and other ominous misfortunes. The Death Eaters have returned and made their presence known; the wizarding world is in fear. Voldemort is on the rise once more, but there is no Harry Potter to save them this time. The Order now works diligently to seek out the final horcrux, hoping to find it before Lord Voldemort's followers. Arcanum is canon-compliant through Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, but it diverges from the end of book 6 into an Alternate Universe. The game is set in the year 2007 and is played in a delayed-time format with an emphasis on third-person narrative threading. All canon characters are NPCs; Arcanum is original characters only. The game is plot and character driven and has a dark war-based plot. We are seeking active, creative players who wish to extend the story of the wizarding world beyond the books we know and love. |
