Setting
The game is initially set in London, 1928. It is the start of a bitterly cold winter, the worst in decades.
London is the capital of an empire covering a quarter of the globe and governing one quarter of the human race. The people busy themselves with concerns of politics and government, finance and production, work and recreation. How fragile things are. What ignorance there is.
There are those who engage in different pursuits - those who would see an inhuman power come to Earth such that it would make mundane activity seem like a last twitch before dying…
Cast of Characters
Tatters of the King is full of interesting and diverse characters, none more so than the Player Characters themselves!

- Nathaniel Browne - A struggling author, looking for his big break (as played by Darryn Mercer).
- Andrew Saunders - British Museum curator and proud Scot (as played by Julia Blackmore).
- Captain George Withers - Officer of the Coldstream Guards and career soldier (as played by Nicola Bishop).
- Doctor Frederick Bartlett - Eminent research psychologist & 'Umberto' - Mysterious former Vatican investigator (both played by Marcus Gustafsson).
The Journey Unfolds
