Legacy of Westchester Map Game - 1958
Dec. 31st, 2022 05:52 pmLegacy of Westchester Map Game
There had always been weirdness, which science couldn't explain. It was thought that it had disappeared in the early 20th Century, but it wasn't so. Little did anyone know that there were hidden communities of magic users and an action by a bullied American teenager was going to change everything...
The hidden communities rarely communicated with each other. (Every magical community had it’s own culture and only really communicated and traded with close neighbours.)
September 18th, 1958 – December 31st, 1958
North America
Canada
The Canadian Federal Government would launch an investigation into the possible prevalence of Magic in the country.
United States
September 18th
Westchester Tragedy. A young witch named Laura Neverton, after taunting by bullies, releases a massive burst of magical energy. The resulting explosion destroys half of Westchester High School (Westchester, Maryland), causing massive casualties (up to 100 dead). Laura herself survives, and flees the town in terror. The area around the school (up to four blocks away) is affected by the release of energy, creating strangeness that would be noted by nightfall.
As news of the tragedy spread, the Federal Government began to react, with Eisenhower receiving an initial briefing the next day.
The FBI begins searching for Neverton. They later interview the other students of the high school.
Before the end of September, the Army is sent in to Westchester to maintain order.
Laura Neverton goes to ground.
The consequences of the incident in Westchester continue to spread through the country in October. (Strangeness in a suburb of Philiadelphia. A report of a person ‘using magic’ in a suburb of Baltimore.)
The strangeness in Westchester continues spreading through the town.
Congress debates the strange phenomena.
Despite everything, Halloween doesn’t cause an explosion in reports of magic.
In November, reports of magic spread further afield along the Eastern Seaboard.
Laura Neverton hides in an Amish community in central Pennsylvania.
By the end of November reports of magic are coming from Ohio (specifically Columbus).
In December, more reports come from further away from Maryland. There are reports in Nebraska by Christmas.
Mexico
The Mexican Government launches an investigation in to reports of magic (mostly in Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua and Nuevo Leon) in the country.
(The magical communities in Baja California, especially, are fearful of discovery after news of what happened in Maryland comes in.)
