<div style="font-size:155%; font-weight:bold; color:#8fd3ff;">MADISON HAS ALWAYS LOOKED ORDINARY FROM A DISTANCE</div>

A clean white Capitol. Lakes catching the sky. Students spilling out of bars after midnight. Beneath the city’s habits and streetlights, reality has seams.

For more than two decades, those seams were buried beneath silence, surveillance, and a storm that tore the spirit world apart. Masters died. Sanctuaries went dark. Ancient knowledge became rumor, broken notation, and frightened memory.

Now the storm is over.

Four people have Awakened.

'''You are one of them.'''
</div>

<div style="background:#162231; color:#e7edf5; margin-top:18px; padding:18px; border:1px solid #3d6688; border-radius:7px;">
<div style="font-size:140%; font-weight:bold; color:#a9d8ff;">THE PREMISE</div>

You will create an original, newly Awakened mage at the table. You begin as a human being with a job, relationships, obligations, and unfinished trouble. Something impossible recently happened to you. It changed what you believe reality is, and now powerful forces have begun to notice.

No experience with ''Mage: The Ascension'' is required. Character creation, the setting, and the rules will be taught during play.
</div>

<div style="background:#101720; color:#e7edf5; margin-top:18px; padding:20px; border:1px solid #26384d; border-radius:7px;">
<div style="font-size:145%; font-weight:bold; color:#8fd3ff;">WHAT YOU KNOW AT THE BEGINNING</div>

* You had an ordinary life before magick entered it.
* You recently witnessed, survived, caused, or became part of something impossible.
* Madison’s old mages are dead, missing, compromised, or hiding.
* No established mentor has claimed you.
* The name '''New Avalon''' has reached you through dreams, fragments, or impossible coincidences.
* Three other new mages have appeared in Madison.
* Something in the city already knows you are here.
</div>

<div style="background:#111923; color:#e7edf5; margin-top:18px; padding:20px; border:1px solid #26384d; border-radius:7px;">
<div style="font-size:145%; font-weight:bold; color:#8fd3ff;">CREATE THE PERSON BEFORE THE MAGE</div>

The strongest Mage characters begin with an ordinary life that cannot survive unchanged. You do not need a finished character before the event. Bring an idea, a wound, or a question.

<div style="font-size:145%; font-weight:bold; color:#8fd3ff;">HOW MAGICK WORKS</div>

A mage does not memorize a fixed list of spells. You decide what your character believes, describe what they do, and use the '''Nine Spheres''' to determine which parts of reality they can influence.

'''Practice''' is the method through which your character makes the impossible feel possible. It might be prayer, experimental science, art, code, occult ritual, meditation, ecstatic trance, folk tradition, or something personal.

'''Instruments''' are the concrete tools and actions that focus belief. A phone, a prayer, a song, a scalpel, blood, an equation, a dance, a whispered name, a handmade charm, or a carefully told lie can all become instruments of magick.

'''Arete''' measures enlightened understanding and forms the basic dice pool for magick.

'''Paradox''' is reality pushing back. Reckless magick can twist an effect, injure the mage, change the surrounding world, or attract something hostile. Magick is not forbidden. It is never free.

<div style="font-size:145%; font-weight:bold; color:#8fd3ff;">MADISON AFTER THE STORM</div>

'''The Avatar Storm'''<br>
For more than two decades, travel into the spirit worlds was catastrophically dangerous. Masters died, vanished, or became trapped beyond reach. The storm has ended, but nobody agrees on why.

'''The Old Awakened'''<br>
Madison once supported several mage communities and hidden sanctuaries. Most are silent. The survivors keep their distance from one another and from new mages.

'''New Avalon'''<br>
A Horizon Realm once tied to Madison, New Avalon was a place of living magick and impossible adventure. Fairy tale, dangerous wilderness, impossible cities, heroic quests, digital frontiers, and worlds nested within worlds all touched there. Jay Dee sealed the realm in 1985 during a struggle against an entity called the Nameless. Both died, but New Avalon remained closed.

'''The Capitol Node'''<br>
Beneath the Wisconsin State Capitol lies a concentration of supernatural power shaped by Jay Dee, who moved through Madison’s history under the name James Duane Doty. Mages, spirits, corporations, and worse things have reason to covet it.

'''The Present Hour'''<br>
The storm is over. New Avalon may be reachable again. Rumors of four new mages are moving through a city where the Technocracy, the Nephandi, and Pentex have grown powerful during the Awakened absence.
</div>

<div style="background:#111923; color:#e7edf5; margin-top:18px; padding:20px; border:1px solid #26384d; border-radius:7px;">
<div style="font-size:145%; font-weight:bold; color:#8fd3ff;">FORCES MOVING THROUGH MADISON</div>

These names may reach your character as rumor, warning, propaganda, or half-truth.

* '''The Traditions:''' Fractured lineages of mages defending many forms of human transcendence and magick. Madison’s Traditions are shattered.
* '''The Technocracy:''' A global order that stabilizes reality through science, systems, administration, and control. Its agents consider uncontrolled mages dangerous.
* '''The Nephandi:''' Mages devoted to corruption, ruin, and forces that want reality broken.
* '''Pentex:''' A corporate network in which profit and spiritual corruption feed one another.
* '''The Umbra:''' Spirit worlds surrounding physical reality, inhabited by beings that embody places, emotions, ideas, systems, hungers, and forces.
* '''Madison’s vampires and werewolves:''' Old predators and older guardians with their own territories, treaties, secrets, and reasons to care about the Capitol.

<div style="background:#221b16; color:#f2e8d8; margin-top:14px; padding:14px; border-left:4px solid #d29b57;">
'''The danger of certainty:''' Every faction explains the world in a way that makes its own choices seem necessary. Listen for what a speaker leaves out. Notice who benefits when you accept a simple answer.
</div>
</div>

<div style="background:#162231; color:#e7edf5; margin-top:18px; padding:20px; border:1px solid #3d6688; border-radius:7px;">
<div style="font-size:145%; font-weight:bold; color:#a9d8ff;">YOUR FIRST OBJECTIVE</div>

Find the other newly Awakened.

Learn why New Avalon is calling to you.

Decide whom you can trust before the powers already circling Madison decide for you.
</div>

<div style="background:#101720; color:#e7edf5; margin-top:18px; padding:20px; border:1px solid #26384d; border-radius:7px;">
<div style="font-size:145%; font-weight:bold; color:#8fd3ff;">TONE AND TABLE EXPECTATIONS</div>

'''Urban fantasy under pressure.''' Wonder is real, but so are consequences. Magick offers freedom, temptation, and the terrible possibility that your beliefs can wound the world.

* Every character will have a reason to remain with the group for the crisis.
* The table will share spotlight time and help new players translate intentions into rules.
* Characters may disagree without players trying to ruin one another’s experience.
* Safety tools are a normal part of play. Anyone may pause, redirect, or step away.
* The horror remains aimed at the characters and the fiction, never at the people around the table.
</div>

<div style="background:#172536; color:#ffffff; margin-top:18px; padding:22px; border:1px solid #4f7ea6; border-radius:7px; text-align:center;">
<div style="font-size:150%; font-weight:bold; color:#a9d8ff;">REMEMBER</div>
You have just learned that reality can be changed.<br>
The question is not whether you have power.<br>
'''The question is what that power will make of you.'''
</div>

<div style="margin-top:12px; font-family:Arial, sans-serif; line-height:1.75; color:#cfcfd2;">
Rebecca Troy, Tremere Primogen of Madison, has been destroyed inside her own chantry. The first evidence points toward Madison's werewolves. Claw damage, blood, coarse fur, and a broken token of the werewolf treaty were recovered at the scene.

<div style="margin-top:12px; font-family:Arial, sans-serif; line-height:1.75; color:#cfcfd2;">
There is one problem. The first signs of violence begin inside the chantry, beyond wards built to stop exactly this kind of intruder.

Prince Alexander Hawk has summoned the Primogen Council. You must determine whether the werewolves broke the peace before suspicion becomes retaliation. Find the truth, protect your interests, and decide who will rule when the council adjourns.

Thirty years ago, an Anarch revolution ended two decades of civil war. Alexander won the throne, but did not destroy the old regime. Since then, compromise inside the court and a fragile treaty with the werewolves have kept Madison alive. Rebecca's death threatens both.

* Rebecca Troy is dead, and the Tremere seat on the council is vacant.
* Her chantry should have been one of the most secure havens in Madison.
* The first signs of violence begin inside the chantry, beyond its outer defenses.
* John Morgan has sealed the chantry and restricted access to the evidence.
* The city is divided between Alexander's former Anarchs and Brandy's old guard.
* The werewolf treaty has kept Madison alive. If it breaks, neither side can control what follows.
* Any public breach of the Masquerade could turn a political murder into a citywide disaster.

<div style="flex:1 1 300px; padding:21px; background:#14191c; border:1px solid #33454d;">
<div style="font-size:1.25em; font-weight:bold; color:#cfe9f2;">Jay Dee</div>
<div style="margin-top:8px; font-family:Arial, sans-serif; line-height:1.65; color:#c7d0d4;">Rebecca had renewed contact with a reclusive occultist called Jay Dee. Some Kindred claim he once used the mortal identity James Duane Doty, the founder of Madison.</div>
</div>
<div style="flex:1 1 300px; padding:21px; background:#14191c; border:1px solid #33454d;">
<div style="font-size:1.25em; font-weight:bold; color:#cfe9f2;">New Avalon</div>
<div style="margin-top:8px; font-family:Arial, sans-serif; line-height:1.65; color:#c7d0d4;">Rebecca was searching for a road into a lost place associated with Madison's vanished mages. It is described as a kingdom of impossible roads, living stories, ancient Magick, and danger hidden behind wonder.</div>
</div>
<div style="flex:1 1 300px; padding:21px; background:#14191c; border:1px solid #33454d;">
<div style="font-size:1.25em; font-weight:bold; color:#cfe9f2;">Four New Mages</div>
<div style="margin-top:8px; font-family:Arial, sans-serif; line-height:1.65; color:#c7d0d4;">No mage has openly controlled Madison since 1985. Now four newly Awakened strangers are rumored to have entered the city.</div>
</div>
<div style="flex:1 1 300px; padding:21px; background:#14191c; border:1px solid #33454d;">
<div style="font-size:1.25em; font-weight:bold; color:#cfe9f2;">The Capitol</div>
<div style="margin-top:8px; font-family:Arial, sans-serif; line-height:1.65; color:#c7d0d4;">Rebecca's notes repeatedly mention the Capitol and a source of power beneath it. Clan Tremere refuses to explain what she found there.</div>
</div>

<div style="margin-top:16px; padding:20px 24px; background:#1d181a; border:1px solid #46383c; font-family:Arial, sans-serif; line-height:1.75; color:#d6d0d1;">
# How did the attacker reach a sealed chamber without triggering the outer wards?
# Why do the first signs of violence begin inside the chantry?
# Who benefits if the court declares the werewolf treaty broken tonight?
# What was Rebecca trying to reach through the Capitol, and who knew about her work?
# Why have Madison's werewolves and their usual intermediaries gone silent?
# What evidence can survive scrutiny by the Prince, the Primogen, and Clan Tremere?
</div>

<div style="margin-top:26px; padding:24px; text-align:center; background:#29181b; border:1px solid #6e3035; border-bottom:5px solid #92272d;">
<div style="font-size:1.35em; font-weight:bold; color:#fff0ec;">Shared Objective</div>
<div style="margin:10px auto 0 auto; max-width:780px; font-family:Arial, sans-serif; line-height:1.7; color:#ded2cf;">
Do not let fear make the court predictable. If the evidence is false, expose the lie. If the treaty can still be saved, prevent a war. Whatever waits beneath the Capitol must not inherit Madison while its rulers destroy one another.
