South Boston

More commonly known as “Southie,” South Boston is populated largely by blue-collar Irish immigrants and their descendants. It’s a toss-up whether there are more Catholic churches or neighborhood pubs in the area, but Southie seems to have gotten stuck in the late ’50s, and there’s not much to draw people to the neighborhood. Those with talent or potential typically flee, moving up to Boston proper or elsewhere, leaving the surly, pious souls of South Boston trapped in their chronically worn neighborhood that feels nearly 50 years out of step with the times. The tightly knit community of South Boston is too conscious of outsiders (some might say blatantly xenophobic) to be a comfortable place for mages (or any other supernaturals) who do not have a long history there.

More recently, St. Michael’s Promise has taken to “cleansing” any kind of supernatural activity that does pop up, leading some mages to believe that the Banishers might be based out of Southie and going to the Combat Zone to do the majority of their hunting.
