Salem

The city of Salem is located in Essex Country of the State of Massachusetts. It has international recognition as the site of the infamous Salem Witch Trials and is an important location for both the Covenant Network, the Sons of Liberty, the New England Gothic Society, and the Lords of the Pit.
It is a veritable hotbed of Supernatural activity and Magick users. 
== Facts: ==
-Salem has embraced its witchy past and any of its institutions and edifices host witch-centered names, such as the Witchcraft Heights Elementary School and the high school team, the Witches. 
-Salem was one of the first of the early English colonies to raise a militia for defense during the Seven Years War. Recently, US president Barack Obama designated Salem as the birthplace of the United States National Guard.
-Local shops and cultural events revolve around supernatural themes, especially ghosts and witches. Practitioners of Magick, both posers and the real deal, flock to Salem yearly for countless celebrations. Ghosts and other spirits are quite common, owing both to the unusually thick influx of Magick as well as the raw emotions and beliefs of the native residents. 
-Unfortunately, the dark events of the Witch Trails and the resulting legacy it left behind tends to attract unsavory Supernaturals. More than a few Witches living in Salem hold a grudge against society at large, and several Infernalists operate here as well (hence the Lords of the Pit's presence in the area). 
== Salem Witches: ==
The Witches of Salem are truly a breed apart, both owing to their high level of recognition and respect accorded them, as well as the fact that Salem tends to attract the best and brightest users of Magick from across the continental US and Canada. 
Of course, there is one small hiccup to this setup.
Technically, there is no single Coven of Witches in Salem, but a veritable smattering of Covens who all claim descent from the famous Essex Witches of Salem. These groups often squabble over matters of principle of Magick rule-making, but they will band together to push a shared agenda (or to topple a common foe). 
Salem also plays host to several powerful Witch gatherings every Samhain. Witches from across the North American Continent will converge on the town to celebrate together. Needless to say, this gives the Witches of Salem a powerful platform on which to make their voices heard.
