Mage The Ascencion: An Accordance Of Witches

About the adventure

Accordance 1 : agreement, conformity in accordance with a rule 2 : the act of granting something the accordance of a privilege For a Witch to be in accordance with their coven, is to have the privilege and agreement to work upon the world some of the grandest and most potent acts of magic. The Witch Hunts have nearly come to an end in America and Europe, and for all those places in the world where people were persecuted, a thought lingers in the minds of all those who bore witness, what were these women that so much horror was needed to ensure that they were dead? Witches were clever enough to circumvent a mundane death. Witches were cunning enough to twist minds and people needed to deather themselves to their screams on the pyre. Witches were so willful that they might not have had the decency to drown without being shackled first. So a truth is written into the minds and hearts of all who saw and and heard the suffering of witches, and it is a truth taught to their children and grandchildren: Witches are clever, cunning, willful and powerful. Powerful enough that men needed to burn, drown, and behead them to feel safe. Accordance. A font of collective belief entered the world, powered by the sacrifices of the countless dead, and becasue witches are clever, cunning willful and powerful that belief was grasped and a grand spell was cast. Every Witch hunted and taken from the world would return, amongst all in the world who had the truth of witches written on their hearts, the precious few that were clever, cunning, and willful enough to reach out and grasp the power of a Witch might have it, and the covens would be restored. That time is now. This game is about having the willfulness to enact the change you wish to see upon the world, pushing back against systems of power that seek to push you down, healing and defending those who can't do such for themselves. Given the historical nature of the game certain themes are going to be unavoidable, but they will be treated with the weight which they deserve. Our depictions of history can be unflinching in the face of the tragedy and the horror, but they also don't need to be fetishized and treated with indulgence.
