Description:

"Welcome to Westhaven"

The sign is posted on the hilltop that overlooks your very first glimpse
of the seemingly idyllic city. Plumes puff from the chimneys of the
charcateristic blue-shingled roofs. Horse-drawn carriages meander through
the scrawl of quaint and winding streets.
And beneath the warm sun of this beautiful afternoon, the thought that
this charming community is host to an underlying evil is impossible to
conceive.

But, fear not. Soon, the sun will set. And it will be dark.

You'll find a cozy inn, with a cozy tavern, whose windows are shuttered
and framed in rosemary and mistletoe. And then, as the locals become
certain you are only the oblivious traveller that you are, they'll tell
you... the stories.

Witches?, you'll stare queerly. Impossible!, you'll bravely declare.
You'll retire to your cozy room. And come morning... will there be a
morning? For you?

Answer these questions yourself. "Join" the residents of Westhaven in
their hunt for those who share commerce with evil. Or "Lurk" as an
observer, and decide if what you read is mere fancy, or a disturbing
reality.

"The Crescent" is a free-form collaborative simulation that allows YOU to
participate in the discovery of dark secrets and ancient evils.

But, prepare yourselves. The chronicles of those who have come before you
can be accessed in our "Archives." In those chronicles lie the secrets
that may enable you to survive, perhaps, another night.

Superstition and Science compete to capture the minds of Westhaven's
residence. The hunt is on.

Will you be the Hunter? Or the Hunted?
