Victorian Times
We all heard stories about monstrous creatures.
...But have you ever wondered if they were true?
It is 1842 and the world is looking towards the great city of London, where Queen Victoria presently reigns. As always, rumours and gossip spread through the market areas, some of the more entertaining ones even reaching the living rooms of the wealthy. Stories of a young beggar girl seeing a man a 'daughter of joy' dry by the neck are passed off as female hysterics. Malnutrition. Hallucinations. Day-dreams.
Vampires, Werewolves, Witches and Warlocks. They come from the Shadows and live in the blind spot of humanity. Unseen and unheard, their special presence can only be felt by individuals more a-tuned with the supernatural. One always tends to fear what one doesn't understand. But as of late, they have been wandering out into the open, mingling with the ignorant humans and living side by side with them. Still, their neighbours remain clueless as to what they really are.
They began to move, because they are not the only ones inhabiting the Shadows. A virus has been spreading amongst the supernatural, turning sane creatures into mindless, blood-thirsty monsters that kill and slaughter for no apparent reason. It is assumed, that they fead off of pain and fear. They can be killed, but as of yet the only way to fight off the disease is through luck and willpower. Success rate? 0.0000[...]001%.
