The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. The trials resulted in the executions of twenty people, most of them women.
Salem was settled by puritans in 1628 and was the beginning of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. King Charles I granted the puritans a royal charter to colonize the area,but Charles II revoked this charter in 1684 after colonists violated several of the charter's rules. These violations included basing laws on religious beliefs, running an illegal mint and discriminating against Anglicans.
The hysteria first began in January of 1692 when a group of girls, who later came to be known as the "afflicted girls," fell ill after playing a fortune-telling game and began behaving strangely.
In this RP, you have the choice to be one of the women/men that are accused, or to be one of the witch hunters.
