Deletrius is defined as the act of destroying or eradicating. It a spell designed to end enchantments, to dash the hopes of the naive. It brings darkness where there was once light. For nearly seven years darkness has steadily settled over the wizarding world. A name that ought not to be whispered lights the night sky with a green emblem. His followers alone know what is like to be in his presence and still breathe the following morning. Every day brings news of disappearances, of names to be whispered with the respect given to the dead, of the world slowly being repopulated by dark creatures once banned to the edge of existence. Every day is deliberately filled with dazzling fears designed to leave you lying awake at night. A walk down the street is no longer leisurely, a stranger no longer trusted at first glance, and a locked door is certainly no longer an indication of safety.
The only silver lining in sight is in the barely established Order of the Phoenix, perilously outnumbered and doomed from the start. The Daily Prophet prints half truths and whole lies. The Ministry of Magic has slowly lost control; the old pureblood families have aligned themselves with the Dark Lord, and yet life somehow goes on with a shadow of normalcy. Muggleborns write home long letters filled with fantastic lies, half-bloods give wide berth to the old names, and even the blood of the pure is steadily being spilled.
The Marauders have begun their sixth year at Hogwarts, unaware of who they are going to become. The destiny of many has already been written and no tales seem to consist of the happily ever after ending. The Marauders, unaware and not quite old enough to apparate, grow up just like any of the other dozens of teenagers populating the walls of Hogwarts. Join the Marauders as they navigate the school year, whilst outside Hogwarts’ walls a deadly battle for power rages. Join the finest witches and wizards of the era as they learn youth doesn't necessarily equate immortality. Deletrius is a Marauders Era Role-Playing Game with a focus on what is perhaps the bleakest period of modern wizarding history. Feel free to come and take a peek at our Gold ezboard community.
