[h3]Important People:[/h3][hr][b]Mayor Thomas Wellington:[/b] A fifty year old African American gentleman who ran on a platform of education and employment reforms, as well as lower taxes, Mayor Wellington is a well liked man that does his best to maintain the status quo and appease his voter base. He rarely does anything unpopular, and if he does he'll let his spinsters find a way to work it into a positive.

[b]Reverend Matthew Griffin:[/b] Moved to Springton nine years ago with his daughter seeking a better life. He was invited to become the pastor at Springton Baptist Church, where he's made his roots for nearly a decade, cultivating a loyal congregation. His teachings have always held a sense of judgment and dread about them, as Matthew prefers more somber subject matter- believing wholeheartedly that preaching a 'prosperity gospel' is vapid and a waste of everyone's time.

[h3]History:[/h3][hr]

Monster is the One, the Monad. The Ossuary was built in the 14th century by Knights Templar, drawn to this place by the presence of the One. They sought to contain the creature originally, offering up sacrifices to Apotheosis in order to sate it's ravenous hunger for consciousness. This order was continued in secret when it was handed off to the natives, who- over time- morphed and twisted the ritual into something to celebrate. They began worshiping the One as a god.

When the settlers arrived, these natives were persecuted and driven away, leaving the early settlers of Springton to be tormented by the Monad without their knowledge. This dark presence drove the town to pandemonium, imprinting insanity and violent tendencies into the weaker willed inhabitants for centuries.

Springton, in it's modern incarnation, is the serial killer capital of the world. More people from Springton- per capita- have gone on to become serial murderers sometime in their lives. This fact has been swept under the rug and hidden to the best of the town's ability, though the occasional internet article or column in some obscure blog manages to dig up the information.
