…And seriously creepy. Did I mention the creepy? – kelkyag
It is best to keep your head about you in this world, because if you do not, someone else may keep it for you.
The shadows whisper, the Empire reaches, and all around, progress marches slowly on, heedless of the Old Things lurking in its way.
The world is a continent-spanning empire, and other places that are not the empire and thus less important but no less interesting. The era is that of steam engines and ridiculous fashion, of public shows of manners and private displays of lewdness.
The empire consists of many nations. Every one of them has their own secrets, their own governments. Each nation is semi-autonomous – but only semi. For the Empire rules over everything.
And if strange things creep in the shadows? Well, in the end, those things too are ruled by the Empire.
