Jewel
of the Empire
Coming in February 2010
A land of mystery and ancient secrets, subjugated by the power
of Empire. India, the jewel in England’s imperial crown.
It is a land that has brought the English riches and tribute
for many years, managed by the vast British East India Company.
The nation has fascinated the English, influencing their art,
science and even cuisine. However, it is a land they cannot hope
to understand as they continue to hold its beauty in an iron grip.
For all their power and magic, there are forces in India that
the colonial powers can scarce imagine. Deep in the hidden temples
and ancient cities lie ancient secrets from a time before the
polite divisions of Order and Chaos. Dark cults harness forgotten
magic to do battle with the invaders. Mysterious secrets from
the dawn of time wait after millennia to be released upon the
world once more.
Welcome to India, where nothing is as it seems… except
the darkness.
