Provincetown

At the very end of the somewhat conservative Massachusetts cape lies a small town where Boston’s puritanical tendencies are cast off like the heavy burden they are. The drive to Provincetown (or P-town, as it’s known) is three hours from Boston. Taking the ferry from Boston Harbor reduces the time to one hour. Provincetown began as an artist colony and now functions as a trendy and somewhat libertine getaway for bohemians, gay men and party animals of all persuasions from throughout New England. Provincetown has a pronounced decadent carnival atmosphere throughout the incredibly busy summer-vacation season, but, from November through March the place shuts down, leaving only the year-round residents to deal with the desolation, darkness and storms of winter. While Provincetown is not home to any mages year-round, the Awakened are just as drawn to the “anything goes” atmosphere as anyone else, and magical confrontations have erupted more than once as two antagonistic mages have bumped into each other on Commercial Street (the town’s main street) or out among the ocean dunes surrounding the town.
