Lovecraft Country

It's the end of the world as we know it...

Or at least that was what was preached when the man came out of nowhere a holy man a man of god or so he said. Making an international acclaim when he was able to cure ailments that no modern medicine could. When blindness, diabetes, and the like were all gone with a single touch and prayer from him.

He was charming and diplomatic he stopped wars with words and people praised the name Joseph Caldwell. He explained that he had been blessed in vision in the t.v appearances and there were many. He said he was merely the messenger. He was devoted to god. He was a holy man, a man of words, and a man of grace.

June of 1981 he was voted the most influential man alive. President Dorian Rockwell of the Rockwell family became good friends with him and often had him to dinner at the white house. Rockwell was quoted saying "This is the inspiring leader we as a people need."

If they all only knew.

Joseph Caldwell was tweaking the seals that his true masters out, keeping them from influencing the world as they knew it. He brought what people wanted but of course at a cost.

The peace that was an illusion was the first seal.
The casting out of a holy man. When Pope James the IV was cast out amidst a scandal the second seal broke.

It was only a matter of time.

The world did not have heroes, or warriors to stop such darkness. The ideals of superpowers and magic were only legends, those who had once been so empowered had slowly lost abilities that had faded with time. Even the worst of super-villains were little more than a memory.

 Things began to creep out of the darkness. The government denies their assistance and they refuse to see anything as true. President Rockwell was quoted as saying. "It's amazing the level of chicanery that can be used in this day and age and the magic of movie makers and creative people."

 Deciding that something must be done the Sirrion the sorceress in scarlet A powerful being on par with the Unspeakable one of whom she suspected was behind the arrival of Joseph Caldwell. Stepping up her own game, and placed powers into an apartment building in the middle of the dangerous side of town. Awakening many of the people within with powers, and abilities.

The hows and why of your living in the building are up to you. It is mandatory and it is important to note, that all tenants of Scarlet Towers have experienced something supernatural since the rise of Caldwell, and they can see him for what he is a monster hiding behind the elegant veneer of humanity. Preying on the needs and wants of others.
