From the introduction: The year is 1891, the beginning of the decline of the Victorian Era. Technology in this world is drastically different, having followed the teachings of one Nikola Tesla, leading to an unorthodox - but great - leap in technology. Coil cannons of electricity, electric tram-rails, all made and crafted in the style of the Victorian era. An era that will end in conflict and fire. In six years time, the powerful Lord Dracula will seek to expand from his domain in the Carpathian Mountains to England, so he may find new blood and spread the undead curse that grips him - and much of his homeland, Transylvania. Abraham Van Helsing - the Dutch doctor, professor, and the original vampire slayer - will move to head off the Count’s dire scheme, and kick off the end of a long war between humanity and the monsters that hide in the dark. But between now and then, you will have a part to play in this world. Whether as monster or man, you will be encouraged to take part in the history and events of this Earth. Fight on, and remember. No matter which side you fight for... The night is darkest before the dawn.
