History: The Tuner Organization

When the world rattled under Clow Reed's miraculous despair, the very rules changed. The gates that held the other worlds - the great demon empires and mystic artifacts that had been cast out into the worlds by Serenity and honed to supremacy by Belka - at bay, had been sundered. The world was soon awash in new threats: Powers that had once been considered once-a-generation nightmares became common. It seemed like the darkness had finally won.

Hope is not so frail a thing. The world rallied and fought back, and soon a surge of new, ever more powerful magical girls rose to the challenge of bringing the world back into tune. At the time, a new wealthy class was taking its place amid the world's citizens, as the industrial revolution surged; it may have been destiny that these two things collided. New, wealthy magical girls, brimming with both power and the grim understanding of the magnitude of their task, set to work. Money disappeared into invisible coffers across the world, as they found a new name, and a new cause.

The Tuners were no new order; the sorority of magical girls, more interested in bringing the world into tune and protecting their home than the Magic Association's high ideals and bitter politics, had been an establishment for ages. But now they had funding; now they had power. Hospitals were quietly bought, gymnasiums leased, discretion purchased, loyalties acquired.

This awakened Tuner Organization declared its home to be in New York, where the most powerful and most dedicated among them claimed the titles of Conductors. There, they arranged for local chapters to be established wherever there were members to recruit. They made plain that they would leave the moral platitudes and ancient pacts to the Magic Association. They weren't interested in that.

The Tuners had Noise to fight.

And fight it they do, sometimes taking extreme measures in order to extinguish Noise faster, more effectively or more finally -- but at what price?
