I once had a homebrew setting based loosely on the 16/17th Century (because of my love of Solomon Kane).
England was under the Puritan yoke and the Church was contending with withchery and the fey folk in the north. Beyond Cymru Lyonesse had risen from the waves becoming a realm of Faerie (the Fey court had concurred Ireland and Scotland was border country between Fey and Mortals). The Rise of Lyoness had also created a swampy land bridge connecting to Northern France which had allowed the Puritan England to expand south into Brittany and Normandy (the land brdge gained the name Alba)
In Southern Europe the Grand Inquisitor had become Pope plunging them into a draconian regime where all magic was condmned as being of the devil and Inquistor-Crusades marched out to keep the populace under control. Nonetheless in Southern Spain the Moors were still strong
In the werewolf haunted east the Golden Horde still held Rus, Kiev etc and the Ottomon Empire was starting to expand out from the Middle East bringing strange magic from the Desert Sands.
The main campaign never finished but concerned a plot by the Erl-King Lord Autumn to control the Dreams of Mortals and in doing so gain control of Faerie.
The PCs were a Fey-touched human Rogue (from Scotland and a son of the 'Green Man' and his 'May Bride') , Kolb the 'Brick Troll' (Half-elemental Orc) Fighter, a Human midwife (cleric) and Gnome (named Peter Pumpkineater) and a goblin (named Raspberry).
NPCs included the Silver Fairy (a Sidhe), a Ghoul named Rotten Eddy, Fat Sally a retired Tooth Fairy and Mother Goose.
Goblins make a fine addition to Londons slums (although that stereotype is more Georgian than Elizabethan
), I had a Ghoul serial killer anmed Ripper Jack lined up too (but never used)
IMC I started in a made up city in Alba which on the surface was entirely human. However Fat Sally was a working as a midwife in the slums, the Silver Fairy was an invisible presence and Kolb lived in Fat Sally's basement (and could meld with brick walls). In the sewers is where the goblins dwealt and the occasional ghoul would stalk the dark streets and back alleys
Peter Pumkineater the gnome they encounter once they entered the Fae realms (he lived in Moother Goose's garden)
