Beneath the gilded veneer of 1840s London flows a malevolent undercurrent, steeped in the echoes of forgotten secrets and eldritch horrors. In the murky shadows of society's elite, ancient bloodlines cling to arcane powers, relics of a bygone era when magic was a potent force, now dwindling like a candle fighting the encroaching wind of change. These noble houses are desperate, their veins still carrying the remnants of magic passed down through generations. Their lineages are steeped in an age when mages were gods among mortals, and those secrets, long buried, now threaten to resurface.
As the old world crumbles before the relentless march of progress, these families teeter on the brink. Will they forge dark pacts, sacrificing anything to reclaim their lost glory? Or will they sink quietly into obscurity, their bloodlines diluted, their magic extinguished?
Navigate the opulent soirées and luxurious parlours with caution, for danger and deceit are ever-present behind the glittering facades. Tread carefully, for the faintest misstep could awaken dormant horrors or ensnare you in the intricate webs spun by London's aristocracy. You must decipher enigmas that stretch back through the centuries, but be warned: power comes at a cost, and knowledge bears a heavy burden. Hold onto your humanity, or risk being consumed by the ancient darkness that festers beneath the Empire's golden exterior. Step into the shadows of London, where the shadows are watching you, and beware the stranger offering a scented handkerchief, for what you seek may not be what you find. The archives know many things, but some truths are better left untold. Welcome to Bloodlines of Magic, where secrets may bury you, every spell exacts a toll, and Lady Whistledown is always watching. Always.
Pen your tale in the shadowy streets of
1840s London, amidst a society backed by arcane heritage. Imagine embodying characters as enigmatic as Dorian Gray or as darkly brilliant as Dr. Frankenstein and his creation. Enter a world where magic intertwines with science, and the bloodlines of the gentry pulse with ancient magic. As the social Season unfolds, you will encounter enchanted objects, unravel sinister family mysteries, and navigate a web of social and mystical intrigue. Will you embrace your magical heritage or carve out a unique path through the advances of science? Uncover the untold stories in
Bloodlines of Magic, where history and fantasy merge, and every choice you make shapes the legacy you leave behind.
Join us as any part of the gentry: the rich, the powerful, government officials, nobility, academics, clergy, or any combination thereof. There are plenty of stories to tell, but the main narrative focus will be on the events during the 1840 social Season in London.
Currently, we are looking for additional female characters to round off the current cast of really amazing and imaginative writers! As we're just floating in between events, with a masquerade coming up in the near future, it is the perfect time to join!
It is the day after the wedding of the Duke of Devonshire, and the night after came with someone being stabbed, someone being almost drowned, strange rotting men whispering genteel words in the night and a strange delivery service called "Breekon & Hope" making their rounds, apparently delivering and picking up coffins. Not to mention a deranged convict who has just escaped his prison confines and is on the hunt...
The possibilities are plenty, here are some ideas to spark your imagination (though you are not restricted to these):
- a talented writer who uses her divination powers to write about dark and twisted secrets
- a visionary painter whose works capture the essence of both the mundane and the mystical
- a curious alchemist and scientist who seeks to unlock the secrets of magic's waning power
- a compassionate and charitable noble who uses her resources to uplift the less fortunate
- a glamorous socialite known for hosting enchanting soirées that blend elegance with mystique
- a famous occultist holding séances for the rich and the powerful
- and many, many more...
Who will you be? What will you do? What mark will you leave on the social Season?
