New Orleans

New Orleans is a major city on the southeastern coast of the United States that was built and founded by the Chamberlain Family many centuries ago. It is the location of one of the biggest and most diverse supernatural communities. The Mikaelson family was in control of the city until 1919, when they were all forced to flee town when they were found by their aunt Dahlia.

In the modern day, Hectate returned to the city with the hope of taking over again and reuniting his family after learning that he had impregnated a young werewolf, Katherine (Who later becomes his wife). The conflict started less than a year prior to the Chamberlain's return, when a vampiree interrupted The Harvest, a sacrificial ritual that acted to strengthen the bond between the witches in New Orleans and the magical power of their dead ancestors, from whom they drew power. his intervention resulted in the deaths of the majority of the witches in attendance, including all but one of the coven's Elders.
