England, the year is 1863.
The empire is thriving under the rule of the royal families as they strive to extend the reach of their power over the globe. London has become the most powerful, greatest city in the entire world as nobody seems to realize the true reason for the empire's supremacy.
Magic.
Unknown to the public, nor most of the empire's enemies, wizardry forms the backbone of the British Empire's strength.
Magicians, Wizards, Sorcerers, Witches and Warlocks, their dominion over the entities of the Otherworlds is the source of their magic.
The Otherworld.
A nexus of realms that lie between dimensions, the oh so fabled fifth one that does not follow the rules humans try to explain their world with.
It is a place of primal magic, of entities that exist beyond human comprehension and are foreign to this world.
Yet when summoned to the mortal realm they are given form and imposed with the laws of nature.
They are raw magic, and the servants of Magi, providing them with the strength to achieve the unthinkable, to be able to perform inhuman feats.
But magic is not only a tool, a wonderful art, but also a weapon.
And one the royalty deems too important to be performed by everyone with the power and will to do so...
And as their grip on the world grows, so does theirs around the neck of the common magicians who strive to better the world from within.
For the royalties will try to bring magic, and the beings they enslave to their will, under their control to hold the monopoly of power for the sole purpose of complete dominion.
But Magic has to be free, and in the bowels of the British society, something stirs.
Resistance against the yoke of the oppressor, aided by those summoned spirits that would not see the royals enslave more of their kin...
An uneasy alliance between masters and slaves..
