The Site's Plot
The Obliviate Forum is a Harry Potter role-playing game site, set in the marauder’s era at Hogwarts: The year is 1974, which means that in September, James, Lily, Sirius, Severus, Remus and Peter will set out for their fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The forum is a literate site, and with that I mean that it follows the major plot lines laid out by J.K. Rowling in her books. Those plot lines are:
- Lord Voldemort has gathered his circle of fellow Death Eaters around him, spreading the ideology of the “pure” blood being better than “muddy” blood – that pureblooded wizards should form an Aristocracy and rule over “lower” blooded people, such as halfbloods, muggleborns and even muggles themselves. “Blood traitors”, so purebloods who support people of “lower” blood, are attacked as well as muggles and muggleborns. Practically no one is safe anymore. Voldemort begins to take advantage of the fact that the wizard society had outcast certain beings and creatures. So, Voldemort persuades those creatures to follow him now, against such a society. He recruits giants and werewolves, and many fear that the goblins may join him, too.
- It is a time of chaos. Aurors are permitted to use the Unforgivable Curses (the Imperius, Cruciatus and Killing curse) on Death Eaters, without warning. Suspected Death Eaters are handed over to the Dementors, who suck out their souls, without a Wizengamot trial. People are killed, tortured, kidnapped and never seen again. The Death Eaters enjoy such massacres. The wizarding world is not safe anymore. Nobody knows whom to trust, who is an enemy, who supports Voldemort and who does not.
- Around 1970, Albus Dumbledore creates the Order of the Phoenix, a secret society to work against Voldemort and his followers. By making Patronuses speak, Dumbledore finds a way for the Order to communicate with each other. Ministry Aurors join in, to crush the growing threat of Voldemort.
