General Plot & Setting

The height of the Victorian Era.The people seemed to be so carefree, and why should they not be? Under Queen Victoria’s rule, they had experienced none but a pleasant life. Social gatherings became more frequent; showings of power, a young lady’s coming out ball, it all was well within the height of fashion. Of course, there was no thought to the underground life within London. Supernatural creatures were abound, well meshed within society on their own. And while the public certainly held an inkling to their existence, not one soul would dare speak it. And so they went on, a small fear in the back of their minds that their lives constantly were in the peril of the supernatural. They would be right.

Enter the plague. The powers that be have decided that humanity has become a blight upon the Earth, and they have thus issued a Harbinger of the Plague. He is to go around to the cities, set the sickness upon them. Only the strongest survive, causing the mortal population to dwindle away. Thus has left the supernaturals, immune to the effects of the disease, horribly exposed. And while some may have fear of what is now to come, there are several races who have relished in the delight. They may come out of hiding, live openly amongst themselves and the other supernatural races. Then the plague stopped for a couple of months. The supernaturals feared that they would be forced back into hiding, the mortals able to gain bearings and begin to flourish again. But seemingly out of nowhere, it began gain- and without mercy. Will the Supernaturals rally behind the Harbinger, or shall they side with the Mortals in an attempt to keep them alive?
