Editing The Fallen (section)

===[[The Timeskip]]===
Went through a large expansion in 2012, transforming from a irritating media nuisance<ref name="II2.1 e3">“Eldest brother was a murderer, got ousted from the family for that, back in twenty-eleven, when the Fallen were still minor.  But around the time their numbers swelled in twenty-twelve, early twenty-thirteen, he got accepted back, head of the Crowley branch.  He killed two of his own family members after that.  I think that matters a lot, since if he’s in charge, you can’t really call yourselves mere jackasses.”<br><br>“Not him.”<br><br>[...]<br><br>“Okay,” I said.  “Middle brother and the sister were pretty skeevy too.  They didn’t kidnap anyone directly, but they networked with the other families, gave shelter to some McVeays who needed to duck the attention of the law, and they traded a few of their family members for some of the kidnapped minors and capes the Mathers family had.  I’d be concerned about going to that camp.”<br><br>“The little brother,” the guy with the tattoos said. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/09/flare-2-1/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.1]]</ref> to one of the largest and dangerous<ref name="R3"/> groups in [[North America]].<ref name="P.3e1"/><ref name="R2.2"/>

[[Mama Mathers]] and other family heads sent out several groups throughout the [[United States]] after they found out about the [[End of the World]] prophecy. These groups tried to gather in places with 'fall' in their name and any other religious sounding destinations.<ref name="WDFall River">The end is coming.  The godless don’t get it.  The rumors are out that the world ends in a matter of months - one of the family elders even brought an ex-Ward into the fold, and she says they believe it too.  They might be faithless, but they know their shit.<br><br>Mama Mathers is a little off in some ways.  Smart as shit, but off.  When she wanted to send members of the family to every place with ‘fall’ in the name and a lot of places with religious names, it was an excuse for some milder parts of the family to congregate.  Fall River was one.  Massachusetts is a little ways beyond where the Fallen usually meet and gather, but there aren’t many who are complaining.<br><br>So there’s some things going on.  There’s some expectation that the Fall River branch stay active, and especially with Mama Mathers being the one in charge of this particular branch, there’s a little more emphasis on shit-stirring, getting into the news and offending the public.  That’s one thing.  People aren’t happy with us. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/13F4B7lNh_2CMX3eV2zeM9Ms1Qowo7YnpErqqj0bY4To/edit WD Fall River]</ref>
