Salem

Salem is a historic coastal city in Essex County, Massachusetts located in the North Shore region. It was settled in 1626 and was one of the most significant seaports in early American history.

The Trials
In 1692, the infamous Salem Witch Trials were conducted. Though not the sole cause, the Trials are considered by the magical community to be the marking point for the near extinction of Witches. Witches that lived in Salem prior and during the Trials are considered Witches of Old Salem.

ASFS
In the present day, the Salem Four visit Salem with the intention of preventing the resurrection of Cassandra, who was hanged for being a Witch during the Trials. Though they were successful in the prevention of all the Witches of Old Salem from coming back, the blood provided by the "sacrifice" of Florence Gale was enough to bring back Cassandra herself. This soon came to be known as the Battle for Salem.
