The United States was in a full on civil war. Their religious people had begun a crusade upon the magical communities, causing significant problems all across the country. It seemed that they had been primed to go to war for some time, they just needed a target and the magical folk were painted with targets on their foreheads. The country had requested aid, which was happily given, but civil wars were nasty. Avalon knew that all too well with the ones it recently had. I doubt the country would remain whole at the end of it. It seemed that certain states were welcoming the magical people while others were forcing them to flee or kill. The chances would be that the individual states would be split into territories of their own.
