Warded Wiki

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SAFE MAGIC,

YOU MIGHT AS WELL TAKE A RISK.

## **Welcome to the Warded Wiki!!**

Warded is a collaborative writing project based on the world of Lev Grossman's The Magicians series of books, the Syfy adaptation, with additional lore created and inspired by a multitude of other science fiction and fantasy sources. We're a *no word-count* **urban supernatural creatures & abilities AU** based on the above, set primarily in the state of New York with significant emphases on New York City and Upstate New York.

Here players will begin their story-telling collaboration with their first character being a First Year student at **Brakebills University for Magical Pedagogy**, guided by their wonderful and knowledgeable school (and site!) staff toward becoming a powerful and capable Magician.

### *PREMISE —;*

The Divergence begins in 2009, our heroes aren't passionately glamorous coming to save us from The Beast clad in Louis Vuitton armor and sharp studded tongues. They didn't bargain with the dead, kneel to Gods (or Kings), nor did they pave the way to greatness for those doomed souls to walk their Garden Path after they'd departed. Our heroes simply did what they could, as best they could. Furious semesters filled with pursed lips, chilled alcohol, emotion bottles, and dogeared textbooks.

They accepted the fruit of their accomplishments and scattered. *To where?* Nobody seems to know. Maybe to The Library, maybe to mediocre under fulfilling accounting jobs, maybe nowhere at all; balancing in the glittering aether between worlds.

It's been a long 12 years spent fruitlessly preparing the future generations for the inevitable. The world is beginning to revolve back around to the cloudy chaos our heroes left behind without the hope of their return.

It's up to us now.

Warded takes place in a time outside of the 40 timelines created by Jane Chatwin. This is new territory for everyone, Brakebills Staff included (even for Dean Fogg). Due to the lack of any prior information this has been dubbed Timeline Theta.

Students live and attend classes on the Brakebills campus. First-years aren't sorted into their proper disciplines, and will continue to study for their end-of-year exams in their second-year. At the beginning of their third-year, pending the results of their second-year exam results, they are rigorously tested to be sorted into Magical Disciplines and their respective education focus and housing before continuing their Brakebills education.
**Hedges** live and learn from each other in New York City. They're separated into groups that identify with constellations. Some have exchange programs to facilitate an environment of potential higher learning in place of magical institutions like Brakebills, for the witches who show their magical capabilities.

Unrealized magically adept aren't formally recognized as a Hedge (with a capital), and as a result are vernacularly the same, however it's important to note that there is a difference between a hedge witch and a Hedge Witch.
