Welcome to Portland. Now choose your side! Just another average day in an average city, or is it? Beneath the surface lies a secret society. A society where anything goes. Anything your imagination can come up with can be conjured here, but be careful what you wish for, for everything comes with a price. In this world exists the likes of vampires, werewolves, witches and seers, and things sometimes best left to imagination.
Recent nights have brought a disturbance to this world of secrets. There are some who wish to remain secret no longer. The desires and motivations of these people vary wildly, from just wishing to partake in the mortal world and being accepted for who they are, to those who wish for things far more sinister. There is an ancient tradition of keeping this secret world just that, a secret, but a cult has been forming. A cult that questions the tradition of forced reclusion.
But there is more that attempts to push the balance between the supernatural and the mundane over the knife edge. A group of human hunters has been moving from state to state, attacking and killing the supernatural... And now they are moving toward Oregon, toward Portland. But who can stop them?
What happens next may very well rest entirely in your hands.
There are quite a few planned plots and sub-plots that are coming up. Currently, we have two plots going on simultaneously! One is an external plot and one is an internal plot.
Hunter Plot (External)
The hunters are a small family that is bent on revenge. At one time the Cornwell Family was a family of farmers, but when their youngest daughter, Lisa, was slain by a member of the Demon Underground they set out to find out the truth of what happened to her. During their search, they found a way to get information about our secret underworld. Once they learned all that they needed, they went on a killing spree.
But Texas wasn't enough! They wanted to 'save' all that they could. Traveling west, the Cornwell's have attacked and killed any that they could find that had anything to do with Avandrya (including innocent people). And now that they have finished in San Francisco, they are headed north and Portland is in their sights.
Cult Plot (Internal)
A cult is beginning to form, surrounding a charismatic leader who wishes to rule over the human race. But of course, s/he will never tell anyone about that true wish. The story is that 'Hoyt' wants to bring the Demon Underground out into the open. 'Hoyt' doesn't feel that the supernatural should hide from the world and that the world should accept what is around them. So, with the help of a rogue witch who is slowly learning the Guise spell (and it's undoing), 'Hoyt' is finding sympathetic members of the Demon Underground and threatening their very existence at the same time.
