setting update!
It’s now been one year since Emma Swan broke the curse and magic was brought back to Storybrooke. In the time a lot has changed. A mysterious entity opened up a portal to Storybrooke, leading new residents to make their way in. More people are starting to travel to the little town, bringing new heroes and villains, all with their own goals. To make matters worse, strange weather patterns have emerged. Extreme rain and wind has affected Storybrooke, making it hard to travel, flooding roads, and making the forrest an even more treacherous place. There are rare moments of peace, but even the sunny days aren’t a respite. When it’s not raining, haze and fog encase the town. It’s hard to tell who’s a friend or a foe when everything’s obscured.
Those in the Enchanted Forrest aren’t faring much better. Instead of wind and rain, an extreme drought and heat has covered the land. Vegetation is starting to die, rivers are starting to dry up and water is starting to become scarce. Now that it’s clear the original Kings and Queens of Misthaven aren’t returning, chaos has broken out amongst the villages and towns. Each settlement is quickly turning into its’ own city-state, with tense agreements between each other. While technically in a time of peace, a restlessness pervades. The walls between worlds are getting thinner and everything is starting to bleed over.
Determined to get to the root cause of the problems, committees are starting to form in Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forrest. Good people, looking to try and help are coming out of the woodwork to try and figure out how this can be stopped. But not everyone is looking to help. There are people who see this as an opportunity to gain power and take control. There are also normal people, just trying to survive one day at a time. When given the choice, what will you do?
