San Francisco was a city in California, United States, where the Scooby Gang resided since the end of magic.[1] It was located north of Sunnydale.[2]

History[]

San Francisco was the hometown of Vanessa Brewer, born in 1967, who later became an assassin for Wolfram & Hart.[3]

In the 1970s, a Hamelin demon opened a portal to its dimension in an apartment building on the edge of Tenderloin. It began pulling vulnerable children through the portal, where they lived out idealized versions of their childhoods.[4]

Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, Dawn Summers, Alexander Harris,[1] and Andrew Wells[5] relocated to San Francisco during the end of magic. Following the return of magic, Rupert Giles and Spike joined them in the city.[6] Andrew eventually moved to Oakland,[4] while the remaining Scoobies lived in the same building in Tenderloin — Buffy, Willow, and Dawn shared an apartment, Xander and Spike shared another, and Giles lived alone in a third.[7]

In the following year, a Shenlong suddenly appeared from the ocean, causing a storm and tsunami in San Francisco. The Scoobies defeated the dragon, but not before it claimed several victims in the city.[8] Orchestrated by Joanna Wise,[9] the event sparked nationwide fear and violence against the supernatural, prompting the United States government to temporarily enact the Supernatural Crisis Act.[10]

During a quiet year for supernatural threats, Xander and Dawn moved to a house in the suburbs with their daughter, Joyce Harris. Willow created the empowerment center,[11] where the Scoobies fought Harth Fray's army in the Reckoning,[12] a battle that changed the course of history through the 23rd century.[13]
