| The Darkest Hour - MUD Description | |
| Overcast and cloudy, the sky looms above, threatening to storm over the grand city of London. Famous old buildings appear as cardboard cutouts against the gray backdrop. Ants shuffle around the streets of London below, always busy, always moving. But they are not ants, they are people, or cattle, or mundane. Mortals have many names in this, the World of Darkness. Their lives are under glass, under the scrutiny of vastly more powerful entities. They drive their cars, eat their food, and do their shopping not knowing that real enemies and real danger lurk in their midst. Currently, in this incarnation of London, the mortals have something to worry about that is more important than monsters under the bed. This generation is going to see the next world war. Two separate decades have taught the British about the brutality of full-scale world wars. Technically, the country has been at war most of its existence. Each one becoming more lethal than the one before it, and this war is no exception. The Russians began their conquest by squashing the Chechnyan army. The taste for battle suited them and they turned their sights westward. One by one, the Eastern European nations fell, until finally the Russians entered Western Europe. France surrendered to them without a fight, which touched off many a powder keg in the political theater. British fanatics began to terrorize the French, and the French retaliated. Parliament has repeatedly asked for support from the United States, but the United States has adopted a solitary position. The Americans do not want to enter another European war. All the while, the supernatural creatures plot behind the scenes. During the unrest, a powerful Toreador and his lieutenant ousted the Camarilla and established London as an independent city-state. Neither Camarilla nor Sabbat rule this ancient city. The Garou and the Bete fight a war against the Wyrm, and the Russians who seem so filled with it. But, they also squabble amongst each other as unsavory characters use the war to hide their own agendas. Among the mortals hide creatures of beauty, passion and creativity. The Isles have always been an ancient homeland for them, but they are also dying out as London begins to fall into the darkness of banality. The mortals have their own bright stars; some even rival in power to the other supernatural races. Come play in a world on the brink of war. Come join the races in this, their darkest hour. |
