-	While the dot-com boom helped revitalize the city and give a much needed boost to the Phoenix Court, it brought with it the threat of a new adversary: the [[:Category:Silicon Court\|Silicon Court]]. Originally the small brood of a inexplicably powerful spirit which appeared in the 70s, they had seen steadily and significant growth throughout the 70s and 80s into an international grouping of spirits connected virtually. Then, almost overnight, they achieved massive power and prominence. With the boom, they flooded into San Francisco, becoming ubiquitous. For the moment, they seemed minimally interested in anything but their virtual world. However, most of the spirits of all three courts worried about their significance and it was undeniable that a fair amount of the city's Essence began to flow through their networks. At any rate, new spirits of wealth, hope, and greed bolstered the ranks of the Phoenix Court, who even managed to come to an accord with their old enemy the Bay Court as environmentalism spread throughout the city's popular culture.	+	While the dot-com boom helped revitalize the city and give a much needed boost to the Phoenix Court, it brought with it the threat of a new adversary: the [[:Category:Silicon Court\|Silicon Court]].

	The Dot-Com Bust did little to check the growth of the Silicon Court, but it did birth new spirits of despair, poverty, and decay as well as weaken the Phoenix Court. With the rise in prominence of San Jose, where the Silicon Court is based, many spirits are starting to urge San Francisco to go to war with the impetuous youngster and put this new court in its place. For the moment, though, the city spirit seems focused on its known enemy, the Dragon Court, almost to the exclusion of other concerns. This has allowed two strong factions to emerge to take up the slack: one led by [[Chinatown]] and the other by [[Haight-Ashbury]]. These two powerful Jaggling both represent interests within the city and they have taken to trying to gather allies within the court to push things their way.
