The Plot « Thread Started on Dec 19, 2007, 12:04pm »
Highlight of the Victorian Era, the British Empire is the largest Empire in the world at this time, spanning the globe from Canada in the West to India and Malaysia in the East, and Africa in the South....
London opens with the creation of several secret magical orders (the Illuminati, Hellfire Club, Order of the Golden Dawn, and others), and becomes the hotbed for witchcraft and other paranormal activities...
Like a giant magical magnet, London attracts powerful members of the magical and paranormal community: witches, shifters, magicians and immortals. This is the Center of the Magical World, where soon all will be forced to choose sides in what may possibly alter the future of the world and the greatest English Empire to be seen...
Out in the country of Wessex, England, there are rumors of a traveling Carnival that comes from time to time, traveling throughout Europe, and entertaining some of Europe's Elite the carnival arrives around the time of the Autumn Equinox, when Day and Night are equal length on earth, and they depart on the night of Halloween, when the veils between worlds are thinnest. For a full month the carnival stays, and attracts people with dark promises of riches, fame and fortune...only to be sinister traps of despair. The country folk are especially decieved, having their homes and livelihood taken from them by the new Industrial Revolution. Coal-burning factories and long, grueling hours quickly replaced the ancient quiet country life. England is in an uproar, with prostitution high in the black-sooted cities, and families torn apart. A perfect atmosphere for dark promises...
And so begins the tale of the love, hate and war that wages over the soul of England, with the Carnival of Lost Souls...and the people that will be drawn into the middle without realizing it...

Enter an enchanted realm of ghosts, dark angels and winter magic... Cast your eyes upon cruel oddities of nature and behold monstrous creatures from the depths of the abyss. Hear the dark wisdom of gypsy soothsayers as they unveil things yet to come, and marvel with awe and dismay at unbelievable death-defying acts that teeter on the very brink of doom. Leave the mundane world behind, for those who visit this festival of phantasms are never the same again. As the Carnival of Lost Souls rises from the shadows every one-hundred years, the true faces of its diabolical denizens are unmasked.
