The year is 1920. On the surface, this was a time of revolutionary fashion, culture, and music, and yet beneath the allure of the Big Apple came a dark, looming presence threatening to swallow the City whole, wrought by the cold, black hearts of New York City’s finest.
Beneath the façade of investors, socialites, and legitimate businessmen, the secrets of the Underground lurk in the shadows, coming out only when the streets were clear. With Prohibition in place and the local government cracking down on the distribution of “illegal” goods to the populace, many factions led by the most powerful wizards and witches vie for the opportunity to tap into a booming, profitable market. The streets are now more dangerous than ever, threatened by an ongoing territorial war between multiple large factions vying for total reign of the New York Underground. With murder counts escalating astronomically and skirmishes bloodying faction-territory lines, there remains only a handful of neutral zones where people gather to escape fear and societal constraints. Many have said that the key to ruling New York City was not to take over a rival faction’s territory but to acquire the allegiance of the neutral zones.
One must plan strategically. Accordingly.
And while factions continuously battle against one another for territory, many often discount the presence of the Coppers who could be watching at any moment.
This world takes place in 1920’s New York City in an alternate Harry Potter universe. Wizards and witches remain unknown to the Muggle world, choosing instead to remain as part of this Underground society. There will be magic and spells, wand battles as well as gun fights, underground schemes, betrayals, love, violence, corruption, and scandals galore. Where will you fit in? Can you survive the 1920s? Only time will tell.
