Imagine the World in 1881. Now imagine that World with steam-powered Zeppelins, heat rays, clockwork robots, faeries, witches, and things that Man was not meant to know. Now this is the World that your character lives in. This is the World of The Grey Veil.
The world is much like our own world of the 1880's - many great nations vying for power, resources and sometimes simply for national pride - but with some remarkable differences.
Great Nations via for power, as factions fight for the power to lead. Academics vie for grants and sponsorship. Victorian social unrest marriages, blackmail, and scandals! What nefarious plans do you have, and who has nefarious plan on You!
Death rays, Freeze Rays, Armour Plating, Clockwork people
There exists in the world, strange forces and spirits, that both science and religion tell us, can be both malevolent and benign. It is the existence of these strange forces, and the ability for Man to manipulate these forces, that many call Magic.
