	While the name "Salem" is mostly associated with the Witch Trials, it actually refers to both Salem Village (now called {{Wiki\|Danvers, Massachusetts\|Danvers}}) and Salem Town. The first accusations of witchcraft were made in Salem Village, but the courts, and therefore the trials, were held in nearby Salem Town. However, the accused came from all over {{Wiki\|Essex County, Massachusetts\|Essex County}}. In fact, the vast majority of the accused were from the nearby village of Andover, ~~{{Wiki\|~~Ipswich~~, Massachusetts\|Ipswich}}~~, {{Wiki\|Beverly, Massachusetts\|Beverly}}, {{Wiki\|Haverhill, Massachusetts\|Haverhill}}, {{Wiki\|Topsfield, Massachusetts\|Topsfield}}, and {{Wiki\|Gloucester, Massachusetts\|Gloucester}}, among others.

	Querry claims that she has a lead on the artifact that Stoddard is pursuing, and she and Stoddard climb to the top of a building, when Charlotte realized that Querry must be Joseph's ancestor. Querry introduces the town to Stoddard and explains the local situation: starting in January, a girl came down with an illness unexplained by the [[~~Doctors\|~~doctor]], then other girls started having seizures, which she claims were faked, leading to the church claiming the illnesses resulted from the devil, after which hysteria took the city and people started accusing each other of witchcraft to settle grudges.

	Querry claims the Templars believe some of the girls' behaviors to be genuine. She asks Stoddard if he is truly an expert at finding Pieces of Eden, which he confirms. She then explains that she's allowed near the girls due to her being a nurse and that this is the first assignment for the Brotherhood. Stoddard suddenly stops and hides, asking Querry about a couple of men walking near them: Reverend [[Samuel Parris]], a Templar under whom the accusations of witchcraft incremented tremendously and Justice [[William Stoughton]], who orders the hangings of those Parris accuses. Here, Querry and Stoddard [[Eavesdropping\|overhear]] a conversation between the two: due to bodies found at the docks, more [[guards]] will be posted.

	Later, at night, Querry shows Stoddard the location, explaining that even though she's been inside the building as a nurse, she cannot account for the amount of women that go in but don't come out alive or dead. Skeptical, Stoddard still enters the building to find them using a rope to enter the building through a window, killing a guard inside. Shortly, Querry enters the building as well to find it mostly empty. Here she discovers a secret entrance behind a lit fireplace, leading deep underground. In the basement, Stoddard and Querry find women in cages, which Querry wants to free but Stoddard refuses, telling her to focus on the mission.

The first accusations of witchcraft were made in Salem Village, but the courts, and therefore the trials, were held in nearby Salem Town. However, the accused came from all over {{Wiki\|Essex County, Massachusetts\|Essex County}}. In fact, the vast majority of the accused were from the nearby village of Andover, {{Wiki\|Ipswich, Massachusetts\|Ipswich}}, {{Wiki\|Beverly, Massachusetts\|Beverly}}, {{Wiki\|Haverhill, Massachusetts\|Haverhill}}, {{Wiki\|Topsfield, Massachusetts\|Topsfield}}, and {{Wiki\|Gloucester, Massachusetts\|Gloucester}}, among others.

	These towns were in the midst of economic and social upheaval in 1692, but the beginning of the tragedy that was the Witch Trials could conceivably be traced back to the arrival in Salem Village of one Samuel Parris. A former plantation owner from Barbados, and secretly a member of the Templar Order, Parris accepted the position of Village Minister and arrived with his wife, Elizabeth, his daughter Betty, his niece Abigail Williams, and the house slave, Tituba.
