It is the year 1867,
and it is a time of revolution.
The new science
has done more than bring incredible technologies into the homes of everyday
people. It has brought with it a new way of looking at the world. A
way based on observation and logic that threatens the ancient dogma
of Aluminat church teachings.
New political ideas are sweeping
across Europe. Bismark 'The Iron Chancellor' is uniting the might of
Prussia and the social order of Europe is threatened by talk of Communism
and Bolshevism.
The industrial revolution seems
unstoppable. New technology appears at terrifying speed. Machines are
being crafted that seem capable of impossible feats. Many worry that
mankind is becoming enslaved to the vast industrial machines that belch
smoke into the streets of London.
In the supernatural world,
the forces of order and chaos clash once more as the planes align. Their
eternal battle reaches once more into the hearts and minds of mortals.
You are a part of the revolution,
whether you are born to privilege in the salons of the upper classes,
or on the streets in the darkened rookeries of the city. Around you
is a darkness that lurks not only in the alleys and back streets, but
also in the clubs and estates of the rich and powerful.
The power to make a difference
is in your hands, it could be money and privilege, science or even sorcery.
You have chosen to be on the front line of the new age; but will you
fight against the changes or join the revolution?
Welcome
to the world of Victoriana.
It's
been expecting you.
