A Wind from the East

Question: Can you give more detail on the game that took place in the 19th century? It seems fascinating but there's so little about it on the site. What was the plot? Who were the antagonists?

Actually, you're probably going to be seeing more of the nineteenth-century game, Eastern Promises, in the very near future; it was on semi-hiatus while we dealt with the Great Ragnarok of 2012, but we're expecting that it will swing back into gear now and for the foreseeable future. Those wacky Victorian kids are far from out of play.

Since the game is set before the escape of the Titans, the Scions of this time are very rare and precious, and most of them are "under the radar" - that is, they're not really supposed to exist, since all the gods are currently operating under mutual agreement not to mess around in the World. They're all Scions of some of the more easterly pantheons - the Devas, the Yazata, the Pesedjet and others of that area - and dealing with Western civilization itself is still a big challenge for them.

They don't know much about the World, each other, and almost nothing about the divine landscape at all. They've learned there are monsters they never thought of and gods that they only dreamed, but beyond that they're still babes in the woods.

But, because that's the way Scions live... they're probably about to find out about a whole lot more.
