Splat for ''DarthWiki/MagicalGirlsInWOD'', in which the main characters live and fight in the world after the end of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion''. As such, this page assumes you've watched and understood the events in the movie, as the world has been seriously changed by Homura's action.
In the new world, there's no 'magical girl' in the standard, Puella Magi sense of the word. Homura has banned the Incubators, now under her control, from exalting new magical girls. She does so to prevent anyone from gaining anywhere close to the same level of power as she has.
However, the new world needs to be maintained in much the same way as the old. New enemy called Nightmares --manifestation of Homura's agony-- have begun appearing and they can, nay, ''must'' be harvested to sustain the world. In order to do this, Homura ordain her own version of grief cube collectors, called Archons. Unlike magical girls, Archons don't get their wish fulfilled. They don't even have a say in their becoming one. One day you might be walking down the road when a Nightmare suddenly appear and killing people left and right, and just as suddenly you become an Archon, forced to fight the Nightmare. And if you refuse to fight, you'll eventually turn into Trauma, guilt-ridden ghostly mockery of yourself barely able of self-control. It's the whole magical girl and witch cycle all over again.
Overall, the supplement is incredibly bleak compared to the primary game. The bleakness is comparable to ''Wraith: The Oblivion'', which is saying something.

* GodOfEvil: Homura.
* GuiltBasedGaming: {{Invoked}}.
* ManipulativeBastard: The Incubators. To make sure that the Archon to-be can't refuse her job, they only make Archon out of people who have survivor guilt from Nightmare attacks.
* SealedGoodInACan: Madoka.
