When anyone thinks of Salem, Massachusetts, the first thing that comes to mind is, of course, witches.  For decades, Salem profited off the infamy of the Salem Witch Trials, and turned their city into a minor mecca to the arcane.  In some ways, the upheaval in the world around them has been both beneficial and harmful for it.

On the one hand, with the knowledge that monsters and magic are real, tourism has absolutely exploded, for people fascinated by the idea that maybe the Witch Trials weren't as fabricated as they seemed.  That there could be a chance of rubbing elbows with the otherworldly out on the streets.  People flock to Salem in droves, hoping to find that some of the witches and psychics plying their trade are the Real Deal.

On the other hand, a movement is rising in Salem.  There are mutterings in dark corners that with all the revelations about the world, maybe some new Witch Hunts wouldn't be a terrible idea...and where better to start than the very heart of America's love of witchery?

And in the shadows, forces plot their plots, working through all sorts of plans, benign and baleful, for how to influence the world through the City, all beneath unseeing eyes.
