OC | Blackwood Falls | Long intro

Summary:

Sean McGee's got enough on his plate keeping his father's tavern afloat and caring for his ailing dad without the town losing its mind over some serial killer with a biting fetish. Vampires? In Blackwood Falls? Please.

Then a stranger walks into McGee's Tavern on the worst night of the year, shaking rain from their coat and secrets from their past, and suddenly Sean's not so sure what's superstition and what's survival anymore.

(Or: The one where an exhausted bartender meets a mysterious newcomer while bodies pile up in the woods, and maybe those puncture wounds aren't so easily explained after all.)

Lore:

Nestled deep in the pine forests of northern Maine, Blackwood Falls appears to be just another small New England town struggling with economic decline and harsh winters. Beneath this mundane facade, however, lies one of the oldest and most carefully maintained supernatural communities in North America.

Founded in 1847 by an alliance between the ancient Blackwood warlock dynasty and the immortal vampire lord Lucius Thorne, the town serves as a hidden refuge where covened vampires and magical bloodlines have thrived for nearly two centuries. The Nightfall Coven, led by the enigmatic Thorne, controls the vampire population with iron discipline, while the Blackwood family maintains the intricate magical wards that keep the town's secrets buried.

The delicate balance that has protected this supernatural haven faces its greatest threat from within: a growing population of covenless vampires—outcasts and rogues who exist outside the established hierarchy. Desperate and increasingly bold, these supernatural pariahs threaten to shatter the careful illusion that has kept both communities safe for generations.

Most human residents remain blissfully unaware of their town's true nature, attributing mysterious disappearances to harsh wilderness conditions and explaining away strange occurrences through local folklore about cursed woods and ancient spirits. Yet beneath the surface, an undercurrent of unease runs through the community—a collective sense that something fundamental about their home defies easy explanation.
