This is the Early Modern Period, in the city of Salem.
Screams vanquished across the town as children hid behind parents and all eyes of the audience met that of the speaker, as if the screams were that of an animal, that of something which soon would calm. Lyrics echoed through the crowd as silence filled the area, the screams of a woman ceased as a rather large man in black over coat and class began to speak, the mayor of the lands.
“And now Nineteen persons having been hang'd, and one prest to death, Eight more condemned, in all Twenty and Eight, of which above a third part were Members of some of the Churches of England, and more than half of them of a good Conversation in general, and not one clear'd; about Fifty having confest themselves to be Witches, of which not one Executed; above an Hundred and Fifty in Prison, and Two Hundred more acccused; the Special Commision of Oyer and Terminer comes to a period. But this woman, here before us refuses to admit thy crimes of her and her kin, we shall let God punish her! Burning at the stake, then hang’d from a brige, she will not live!”
Roars of towns people went up as the mayor of the lands spoke, each word causing praise, and mumbles beneath breath. Everyone’s eyes edged towards the woman who’s eyes were blood shot, red locked flowed afront her face, a look of anger upon façade as she watched the mayor while being tied to the stake.

Everyone’s eyes edged towards the woman who’s eyes were blood shot, red locked flowed afront her face, a look of anger upon façade as she watched the mayor while being tied to the stake.
The mayor turned toward the crowd raising his arm a torch lay at the end backing away he spoke once more. “Do you have anything to say Sedohra Moarte? Repent your Sins, and you will not burn in H.ell, witch!” the words echoed within the air as the girl watched him “It is not me whom will burn” words were that of ice as the young woman spoke and the man nodded mumbling beneath his breath he through the flames upon the girl as the stake went up in fire screams were heard but soon silenced, the girl never looking away from the man of which was punishing her. Soon after the burning the towns people went away, children still holding onto mother’s dress, adults speaking to one another casually. The mayor went forth as his Sumas took the burnt body over to the bridge they tied ropes around the limp corpse throwing it over, with a loud snap. Moments passed as the men watched the rope finally cutting it the mayor turned to the men as they began to walk. Thinking of the future knowing well he would trial more of the family silence filled the land as night time struck, that night was a weary night over the entire Domain, and the Mayor, was never seen again.
Witches and Wizards have roamed the lands for centuries without being noticed, but now there is a problem, anyone suspected of witch craft are being trialed. Trialed, burnt, hung and tortured if they do not repent their sins, and even then they spend the rest of time within dungeons. Not many of these victims are actually that of magic, for the Wiccan know how to stay hidden well, to blend in, but the few that are do not take kindly to it. Few of the naïve humans, believe they are in fact magical beings, Alchemists, the few that believe this know not to speak of it but word gets around. The Arian Clan the more evil clan of the Salem area is run by Theodora, a woman whom is mad with power, and wishes to make the human race bow down in their negligence. Stopping at nothing Theodora believes rid all in the way, including her fellow wiccan, the tribe of Sumeri. Sumerians are the good Wiccan, whom believe in protecting humans, and saving them from the tortures of being trialed. Run by George Chrone the Sumerians live under strict law, do not speak of witchcraft with a mortal, and do not kill the mortals. Working to protect themselves along with the human race the Sumeri’s have more than just Wiccan enemies. All magical beings are being hunted by the Witch Hunters, a tightly knit group who do not believe such thing as a good Wiccan. Each Clan being a family, the main the Oxota Clan, no one knows whom the real leader is, nor how to stop them. The Elder Wiccan often speak of a war, a war between the Wiccan. And with each passing day, it would appear it grows closer.

This is the Early Modern Period during the period of the burning of witches. In fact, some of the burn victims are witches, but very few. Because one of the main requirements of them, are to stay hidden. There are evil witches/sorcerers as well as good. The evil ones are often by themselves but there is one main leader Theodora.(MSG me if you would like to play her)
Staying low profile is a big job for the magical community, but they all know of one another and there is a leader of the entire clan. George Chrone. He finds people of the magical community as well as sends them out on missions, possibly to see if someone is a witch hunter, or to try and help an innocent person from burning. When someone of questionable intentions enters the town it is the job of the scouts to bring them to Geo. Witches and Sorcerers try not to communicate to much with the human community, but at times they must.
This is older times, so try to stay with the age when selecting weapons and stuff. Not all of the Witches/Sorcerers can do any type of magic and it depends highly on their age on how frequent they can do some spells. Some of them can control elements and such, please just ask because no one is all that and a bag of chips :3
Ranks of Wiccan;
LEADER- The ruler. It's the highest class of respect and his demands must be fulfilled. (reserved for Me)
• RIGHT HAND x1 – This is the right hand man/woman to the leader of the group, they are often who the leader comes to for help and a close friend to him.
• HEALERS x3 - Shamans are wise beings and usually at an age that would rank them as elder. They know every aspect about healing the sick and the injured often their leading power is healing.
• LEADING SOAR - Tested by skill and trust, the one who earns this entity orders the soars below him/her what the leader has told them. They have the same task as the other Knights, just with a bit more responsibility.
• SOARSxunlimited - The noble assassins. They go out by the orders of the monarch and are to be led by the Leading Soar. Sometimes they can be gone for days, they often come into combat with the hunters or evil wiccans who kill humans within the town.
• LEADING THRIVER - A good nose and observant eyes are a must if you want to try for Leading Thrive. She or he goes out by the orders of the lord. Also he leads the other, usually younger scouts, or tells them whom or what to scope out.
• THRIVES - Like any good scout, you must be extremely observant. Scouts will be looking out for hunters and anything strange.
• ELDERS - Members whom have grown too weary to work. Elders usually lounge and practice their magic. High respect is to be gave to the Elders, they can also teach a lot to the younger Sumerians.
The Witch Hunters are a group of people who are usually brother/sisters, mother/fathers, cousins or what ever. The majority of them share the same name, afew, may be friends of a family member but they are almost all related. The last name is Oxota (ok-hota) (hunt in Romanian)
Leader x1- They are the only leader, protected at all costs by the hunters they work to find wiccan and send the others out to hunt. They are well respected, but not well known, for their own safety
Sumaii(Sumas) x7- The elite task force that goes into an area and hunt. They work as a team and once one is found they do not let up. Often the Sumaii know how to spot a Wiccan
Madans x5- They are messengers/head warriors. they protect the city and occasionally will run messages from city to city. Mostly to tell of Wiccans or for warning.
Healers x3- the healers, they do not know magic but know a lot about herbs and how to heal. They are well trained and often travel where needed, but are also trained in combat
Lairs xUnlimited- they are warrior's. the more advanced go on missions. they mostly wait for their calling from other hunters, going only where needed.
