In Darker Places, Pale Things Thrive
The year is 1890, and Victoria – the Queen of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, and first Empress of India – sits upon the throne. Under her benevolent gaze the British Empire has grown to become one upon which the sun never sets and has no rival.
Yet behind such glory, hope and progress something rotten grows near its heart; an evil so great that its revelation alone may destroy everything the Queen and her subjects have done to raise the Empire to such noble heights. For too long the older gods have been forgotten, hidden away in myth and whispered only as legend. But now, a plot is in place to bring these wrongs to right and return the most British of these Great Old Ones back onto its throne.
Mankind has always dabbled in the occult and eerie, whether in error, innocence, or in the search of power, and it is a combination of such motivations that will bring the Investigators face to face with the long forgotten Lord of the Labyrinth – Eihort – and his ill-spawned brood.
