Description:

Imagine a very alternative Victorian England. Far above, steam powered
crafts carry citizens to and fro. The country is in the grips of war with
France, played out in staged battles across the Channel where the reason
for the war has been lost in the wonder-lust of new weaponry and bragging
rights	as to who has the best inventors.

Exploration and science with very little conscience rules the day and
salons and gathering places are filled with the bored rich, while the poor
struggle to hold their own in an era when Industrialization threatens to
roll over the little man or woman as the world moves steadily forward into
the next century.

London totters on the brink of a new century, old Victoriana warring with
'New Age' philosophy.  In this world, the difference engine has indeed
made all the difference and airships fly above while far below, steam
craft vehicles tool through the street and compete with horse-drawn
carriages.

This is the world in which we bid you welcome.

We are a full post Pbem where the focus is on interactive fiction and
quality over quantity in terms of posting.  If it sounds interesting to
