They hide in the shadows of the hallows. They lurk in the alleys of New York. They slink along the docks of Charleston. What are they? Secrets. From societies, to hidden magic, secrets beat through the veins of the colonies. Some may think they know everything that has transpired in the colonies, but they are wrong. There are dark things afoot. There are those with vengeance in their heart who seek to unleash it. There are creatures prowling the shadows awaiting to entangle the unsuspecting in their maws. There is evil flowing in the wind. Secrets. Secret history. Secret plots. Secret agendas. These are the secrets of Colonial Gothic.

Colonial Gothic: Secrets

Iorio, Richard, II

The World is Steeped in Magic. It is everywhere and courses through all things. Some claim that Magic is fueled by Ether. Others claim it is a Divine gift granted to those chosen by Providence. Still others claim that Magic is not a gift, but a curse. And some claim that Magic is a tool of the Devil, created to further his Infernal ends on earth. None of these claims comes close to the Whole Truth. Magic is a Force of Nature, whose Secrets all may uncover with Time and Wisdom. Yet Magic is also a Danger to those unwilling to treat it with the Respect such a Force deserves. Despite the Danger, some still dare to take up the Study of Magic and to use its Power. Even in this Modern Age, new Discoveries are made about the Workings of Magic. New Insights reveal Power many deemed impossible. Those Discoveries can be found here: Rituals, Witchcraft, Talismans, and Relics. Are you willing to face the Danger and uncover the Secrets of Magic?
