Sunset lies over the ancient city of Prague.
It is a political, cultural, and economic centre of central Europe with waxing and waning fortunes during its history. Founded during the Romanesque, risen to incredible heights during the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque eras, Prague was the capital of the kingdom of Bohemia and the main residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably of Charles IV. The Habsburg Monarchy and its Austro-Hungarian Empire chose it as their sea. And in the mists of time, the city played major roles in the Bohemian and Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years' War, and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia, during both World Wars and the post-war Communist era.
Beneath the surface, has lurked another, darker story.
It was in Prague, that the Jewish sorcerers hit upon the secret of reanimation. A mystical science replicated but once, by a German Doctor who dealt in necromatic flesh. Here however, they went a step further and granted life to clay and stone. Many of the secrets had been lost over the centuries, both during the purges enacted by the Thule Occult Society and the predatory movements of the Church and the Wizarding Races, to say nothing of the monsters that lurked. Enough remains however, that a particularly cunning or ruthless figure might spend a fortune to seek out much below the foundations of the city, fraught with other dangers now.
A danger that kills by night and leaves by the coming of day.
You are one of many, who have been tracking the deaths of innocents slaughtered and taken from their beds. The trail leads below ground and before this night is out....You will end it. Good luck.
May the Gods protect you.
