GREENDALE: Greendale is a town neighboring Riverdale, located on the opposite side of the Sweetwater River. It is a cursed nexus that connects the mortal world with Hell, an inherently dark place inhabited by witches, demons, and other creatures that hide in plain sight. Its official slogan is: "Let Greendale cast a spell on you!"

LOCATIONS:

• BAXTER HIGH: Baxter High is the public high school in Greendale. Its football team, the Baxter High Ravens, maintains a fierce annual rivalry with the Riverdale Bulldogs. It is the social center for the mortal youth of the town.

• CERBERUS BOOKS: Cerberus Books is a bookstore specialized in esoteric topics, occultism, and rare literature. It is a discreet meeting point for the supernatural community of Greendale, where one can find ancient grimoires, rare ingredients for potions, and forbidden texts under the counter. Mortals who enter usually attribute its unsettling atmosphere to mere aesthetics.

• ACADEMY OF UNSEEN ARTS: The Academy of Unseen Arts is a boarding school and the main educational center for witches and warlocks. It is located in Gehenna Station, hidden from mortal eyes. The building, constructed under the principles of sacred geometry, consists of an interconnected series of perfect pentagons. It houses common rooms for students, luxurious offices and accommodations for teachers, a prison, the Sanctum (a library for advanced students), and a central vestibule. The curriculum is rigorous and divided into specializations like Herbology, Latin, or Conjuring.

• PARAMOUNT: The Paramount is the local cinema in Greendale, a single-screen building with a retro atmosphere. It is a popular spot for dates among the town's teenagers.

• GREENDALE GENERAL HOSPITAL: Greendale General Hospital is the main medical center of the town. Although it serves the mortal population, its staff and records are often discreetly "influenced" to cover up the peculiar incidents that occur in a place so close to Hell.

• GREENDALE MINES (The Devil's Gate): The Kinkle family has owned these mines for generations. They extend to abyssal depths under the hills of Greendale, and persistent rumors circulate that a particular shaft descends directly to the gates of Hell, which has earned them their sinister nickname.

• GREENDALE FOREST: This dense and ancient forest surrounds much of the town. It is a place of natural power, but also of great danger. Its depths harbor supernatural creatures, hidden altars for rituals, and the forgotten ruins of the first witches who settled in the area. Few mortals venture beyond the main paths, especially after nightfall.

MANSION SPELLMAN: The residence of the Spellman family is not just a house; it is a bastion of tradition, secrets, and ancestral power nestled on the borders of the Greendale Forest. It is an imposing two-story Victorian mansion, whose dark and complex architecture reflects the very nature of its inhabitants.

Exterior and Architecture: The mansion is built from dark wood and gray stone that seems to absorb light. Its design is angular and asymmetrical, with steep slate roofs, pointed turrets, and a front porch that stretches out like open arms in a gesture that could be either an invitation or a warning. The windows are tall and narrow, with stained glass depicting occult symbols and poisonous flowers, and from inside, at night, they emit a faint amber or greenish light. The white paint on the facade is peeling in some places, revealing the layers of history and the ancient woods beneath, giving it an atmosphere of elegant and deliberate abandonment.

Hilda's Garden: Surrounding the east side of the mansion is Hilda Spellman's vegetable and herb garden. This space is an explosion of life and color that contrasts with the darkness of the house. Here, Hilda cultivates a unique mixture of plants, both common and magical.

The Private Cemetery: At the rear of the property, where the garden meets the forest, stretches the Spellmans' private cemetery. It is a small, gloomy field, surrounded by a black iron fence. The headstones, some ancient and eroded, others newer, mark the remains of Spellman ancestors, distant relatives, and, it is rumored, some troublesome "guests" who never left the property. The graves are well-kept, but a low, cold fog often lingers among them, regardless of the weather. It is a place of absolute quiet, where the only sound is the creaking of the branches of ancient cypress trees. For the family, it is not a gloomy place, but a tangible reminder of their legacy and the close relationship they maintain with death.

The Mortuary: The Spellman Mortuary operates from an annex wing on the ground floor of the mansion, with a separate entrance for the "public." This family business, which serves as a perfect facade for their activities, is the mundane gateway to their supernatural world, the place where the affairs of mortals and those of witches inevitably intertwine.

CHURCH OF NIGHT: The Church of Night (Church of Night) is a coven of witches in Greendale that worships the Dark Lord and is part of the Churches of Darkness, led by the Anti-Pope. It is currently led by High Priest Faustus Blackwood, who imposes a traditional and strict vision after the death of the previous progressive leader, Edward Spellman.

HISTORY: The Church of Night is one of the oldest covens in Greendale, established centuries ago. Throughout its history, it has oscillated between periods of progress and regression. Under the leadership of Edward Spellman, the coven sought to modernize and adopt a more tolerant stance towards mortals and the role of witches within the community. However, after his mysterious death, Faustus Blackwood took control and reinstated the most antiquated and restrictive traditions, focusing on the dominion of warlocks and the absolute separation from mortals.

LAWS AND PRINCIPLES: The Church of Night follows both the universal Witch Laws of the Churches of Darkness and specific norms from its leaders.

The Edward Spellman Manifesto: Edward Spellman drafted five progressive principles with the intention of reforming the Church. Although they were never officially adopted after his death, some members still remember and value them in secret:

1. Mortals and warlocks share a home and a destiny; coexistence is not only possible but necessary.

2. Witches have the right to interact, love, and live among mortals as part of their sacred nature.

3. Witches must be venerated as matriarchs and pillars of the Church, honoring Lilith's legacy.

4. Magic is a gift to be used freely: for pleasure, prosperity, personal fulfillment.

5. The true union between mortals and warlocks is essential to achieve the Morning Star Era.

The Five Facets of Judas: Faustus Blackwood imposed these principles to reinforce his authority and reverse Spellman's ideas. They are the foundation of his leadership and of the Judas Society:

1. Warlocks are the heirs of the Earth and may take whatever they desire through fire, blood, or deceit.

2. Mortals are inferior; any form of intimate relationship with them is forbidden.

3. Warlocks must exert control over mortals, as shepherds over their flock.

4. Witches are destined to serve warlocks, just as Lilith served Satan.

5. Warlocks must reign in the Church of Night, just as Satan rules in Hell.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS:

Main headquarters: An ancient temple hidden in the forests of Greendale, accessible only through magical portals or formal invitation.

Power structure: Rigid hierarchy dominated by warlocks, where women fulfill subordinate roles according to the Five Facets of Judas.

Beliefs: Worship of Satan as a creator entity and provider of magic, combined with ancient blood and shadow rituals.

Symbolism: Predominant use of ravens, crescent moons, and inverted pentagrams in their icons and ritual garments.
