Happenings

Weather

December is harshly cold and snow blankets the city.  Winds whip the icy snow and people scurry  about the streets hurrying to get indoors.  There are small reprieves now and then, with milder cold temperatures and less biting winds. The snows begin to melt and turn slushy with the hope of warmer days, but then the cold returns once more

The City
Despite the cold weather that followed the dreadfully gray and rainy Fall, people are cheerful this time of year.  The homes and shops are dressed in garlands and tiny lights.  Wreaths are hung on doorways and candles shine in windows.  The stores are displaying their best wares in the front windows and people are filling the streets in search of the perfect gifts, then making their way to the pubs to relax.   Taxi businesses are making money off the cold winds that keep people from walking to their destinations.


Werewolves

The idea of werewolves living among them has subsided some.  More people are focused on the coming Yuletime and seeing relatives again.

Some small anti-werewolf groups are springing up.  Their fliers are posted about should anyone want to join their ranks



The Jameson Posse

The biggest and most active group is the Jameson Posse. They are run by Ken Jameson, a middle-aged Full-Wizard from Morgan Le Fey Circle.  They have begun taking it upon themselves to guard the cities perimeters, detaining strangers and interrogating new people in town by paying unwelcome visits.  There is growing tension between these groups and the Carrick Guard.

We are Finton Hollow

We are a set in semi-modern times, though you'll find no cars here or other modern devices.   We are a town who loves the sea, the land and our traditions.  We teach our children to farm and to fish and that magick will always and forever be more powerful and more important than the world of machines and invention. But not everyone agrees...

Character Focus


Every story needs a guy who can take on the bad guy.  Reed is our man.

He has been quiet since the attack by Ramsey Dryden last year, but he's returning to the thick of things as his health improves.

News of the Moment

We are back with a new look and changes to this game. We've gotten rid of several forums and condensed others.  We've added links to information in our sidebars to make things quick to find.



SPAMMERS:  Stop being silly and wasting both our times.  You cannot post in any forum until you fill out a quiz and mail it to the board managers.  Registering for an account gives you no posting privileges.   You can't post until you are cleared.

Character Focus


Every story needs a bad guy...Kevin is doing a bang up job.

Agnes is about rules and order. She runs a tight ship at the Avery estate and expects men and women to stick to their gender roles.  Would it surprise you to learn she's a Karcist?

No New Posts The City of Finton Hollow
Located in the Southern tip of Carrick, Finton Hollow was one of the first cities established in Magical Ireland. It is settled along the shoreline of the Caradoc Ocean. It has a small city center, two ports, three formal neighborhoods and large sweeping expanses of farmlands, woodlands and fields. Sheep roam freely in and out of the city. Its roads are mostly dirt and cobblestone. The sounds of horse’s harness bells on the carriage taxi cabs are an ever present sound. Its population is about 46,000.
