[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 4042070, member: 1125"] I took inspiration from Solomon Kane and created a setting like 18th Century earth but significantly different. Oliver Cromwell did not die in 1658 but instead recovered from his illness and completed the programme of "healing and settling" within the Protectorate until his eventual death in 1674. Moreover the Major Generals were a successful initiative establishing a stable (if somewhat draconian) rule over the Protectorate of Great Britain. However in 1682 the sunken island of Lyonnes rose again off the coast of Wales causing major tectonic upheaval including creating a landbridge across the English Channel. The Land Bridge and Normandy have since been incorporated in to the Protectorate Lyonnes itself has become a thorn in the side of the Protectorate as its Fey inhabitants have begun to influence the surrounding area and in particular led the highlanders of Scotland, Ireland and Wales to rebel. The Protectorate has responded to the 'Highland rebellion' but is being hindered by the presence of Fey magic. In the South of Europe the Lord Inquistor was elected as Pope and a new Inquistion was established directly by the Church to investigate signs of idolatory and witchcraft. This led to making direct accusations against noblemen and even royals. Because of this the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Southern France are essentially a Theocracy with any heresy or witchcraft agreesively suppressed. Oh and the Pope Torquemada IV is a sociopath The Ottomans are a major power expanding through Granada and Turkey, and have begun to threaten Vienna. The Islamic faith never developed and so the Ottomans maintain many older beleifs introduced from Persia and elsewhere including beleif in Djinn and other spirits. Sha'ir are common. There are also griffons and gargoyles in the Caucasus mountains The Black Forest is haunted by ghosts, witchs and werewolves whilst eastern europe is stalked by vampires and the devil himself The PCs begin in a port city in the Nederlands which is watched over by seven 'Sidhe'...
