In the olden times of Vermont, nestled in the mountains, a mystical hamlet started to form—destined to be called Howling Hills. In this enchanting place, the saga of supernatural coexistence unfolded across the passing decades. In the early days of The Order, the settlement of Howling Hills emerged in the 1790s, marked by the haunting sounds of the wind through the trees. However, ominous events unfolded as individuals mysteriously vanished, giving rise to the enigmatic organization known as 'HAVOC.' The world took a darker turn, leading to the abandonment of trials and the rise of hunting parties.

Amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope arose with the creation of the first Veil in the 1830s. As Veils spread globally, hysteria subsided but not without sacrifices, particularly among Supernaturals. The era witnessed a decline in Aberration threats within Veiled areas, yet the true nature of corruption remained shrouded in mystery. Studies revealed the direct link between magic and corruption, prompting a shift in global practices.

By the 1980s, the world adapted to living under Veils, limiting travel outside protected areas. Aberrations, now understood to wither without absorbing magic, became both a threat and a resource. The birth of DOOM marked a new era, but reports of mysterious murders hinted at a more insidious force. In a fateful moment, the Veil in Howling Hills fell, allowing The Corrupt to invade and claim lives. Life stabilized, but the mystery of The Corrupt persisted.

In the year 2023, a breakthrough occurred as Magic Cores were found to absorb some corruption, offering a glimmer of hope in the face of an incurable menace. The story of Howling Hills continued to unfold, weaving a tapestry of magic, corruption, and the enduring resilience of those who dared to face the unknown.
