Something Wicked

Morgan Le Fey wants nothing more than to extend her rule over the Earth. Now she has the means to achieve her ends thanks to an infernal bargain. The only way to defeat her lies in challenging her in her own realm. Enter the 11th century.

Aegis (n.) - Shield, colloquially; the sacred round shield carried by Athena.
Caerleon (n.) - Reputed capital city of King Arthur’s Camelot, called the City of the Legion.

An alternate dimension parallel to the Knights of the Round Table, the Aegis of Caerleon forms to respond to a terrible, dark evil upon the land of York. Supported by Viviane of Avalon, or someone at least calling herself that, they are set forth to reclaim four treasures of the land which ought to restore justice and fairness. Of course, how they do that matters much less than heroes being seen to do good and battle monsters. The Aegis is formed by mortal heroes when they briefly enter the alternate reality, and they take on a persona of a famed knight from Arthurian tales or equivalent stories (Mabinogion, etc.).

1964-06-22 - Tragedy at the Commons

Summary: Mystery Hill, New Hampshire. A place of dubious provenance to the Puritans and dismissed widely as a glacial creation by scientists. The Mystic community knows otherwise. It's the most important intersection of ley lines in the American northeast. In the hours before the longest day of the year, it was the site of a human sacrifice to poison the transatlantic energies. Now the ley lines, the lifeblood of freeflowing magical energy for all, is very much *not* accessible to anyone in the Northeast. That freeflowing energy isn't there to fuel spells. For wards. For happy free-spirits worshipping Gaea to dip their toes in. The knights of Caerleon spontaneously remember themselves when they wake. Avalon's calling. Time to fix the problem… Related: If there are no related logs, put 'None', — please don't leave blank! Theme Song: None
