When the Puritans settled in America, they did not just find new land and new opportunity, they found a land riddled with supernatural creatures. The Native Americans had lived in harmony with the supernatural, but the settlers, greedy for more, pushed the magic aside. The supernatural retaliated, and before long it attacked any human in sight. Desperate to keep themselves safe, the settlers allied themselves with the Native Americans to destroy supernatural. But, it would disrupt the balance of the world to destroy all of the supernatural for the world would die if there was no magic left.
Feeling spiteful, the Native American's chose the curse the supernatural they needed to keep alive and lock it up in one of the settlers' cities, Smoketon. The curse they laid on this land made it so that during the day all was normal. But, during the night, a barrier formed around the city, allowing no one to leave or enter. Right then, the supernatural came out. But, when the sun rose, the barrier fell and all memories of the strange events from the night from the night were forgotten. The supernatural would have killed the humans, but if no humans remained, then curse would make it so all the supernatural died. And the humans could not take down the supernatural for fear of retaliation.
Over time, a system of "Night Time" politics developed in the city and the humans made a wary peace with the supernatural. Now, hundreds of years later, Smoketon is a quaint little town with a dark secret. The Council which rules the Night is facing opposition to it's rule. Some people want to bring the Supernatural back to the world. Some wish to destroy it completely. Some just want to cary on with their double lives. Who will you be?
