Description

Culture

Wand Implements are extremely popular in the UK, often considered the best Implement and given to young practitioners by default.<ref name=":0">The Wand is predominantly used in London, with a surveyed sixty-three percent of practitioners carrying wands there. In the practitioner schools in the United Kingdom, wands are provided to the students by default, for their

convenience, easy portability, and a prevailing sentiment that the wand
is the strongest implement of choice for practitioner dealings against

hostile practitioners. - excerpt from Implementum, quoted in Interlude 2.x</ref> Sword implements are also popular among young men, just as in the United States of America, who tend to find it awkward as they grow older and potentially abandon the Practice.<ref>In the United States and England, the Sword as an implement has an unfortunate tendency to come about when young men decide what their implement will be. At this time in their lives, their hormones are at the highest point and their ‘maleness’ is most pronounced. Nearly nine percent of male practitioners under the age of eighteen pick the sword, only to find it serves less of a purpose as they reach adulthood. Some have suggested that this is linked to the same trend where youths are introduced to the practice and largely abandon it later in life. - excerpt from Implementum, quoted in Interlude 2.x</ref>

History

England was among the countries who colonized North America and conquered the inhaitants. They fought in Toronto in in the War of 1812 over Canada, and were ultimately successful. Although these events may seem long ago to humans, they were recent from the perspective of some Others.<ref>“I wouldn’t imagine Conquest is a great fit for Toronto,” I said. “It was, once. The English presence in North America is young, and Others can be very old. For some, it wasn’t long ago at all that we wiped out the Aboriginal people and took their land. It wasn’t long ago

that there was war over what European country would claim sovereignty

over this land. Toronto was a site in the war of eighteen-twelve, and Conquest continued to gain power after it was released, with immigrants coming in to reaffirm the invader’s claim to the land.” - excerpt from Collateral 4.1</ref>
