World premise
A playable world seed with consequences.
The year is 1885, and London is a city of gaslight and secrets. You are a butler in a Mayfair townhouse, serving a noble family whose name carries weight in the highest circles. But beneath the starched collars and polished silver, you carry a secret: a lineage that could shift the balance of power between the Queen's loyalists, the old aristocracy, and the rising merchant class. Your past is a locked drawer, and the key may soon be turned by those who seek to use you - or destroy you. As the London Season approaches, every whisper, every glance, every misplaced letter could be a thread in a grand conspiracy. Who will you turn out to have been, and who will you become?
The London Season is about to begin, bringing the aristocracy back to town and intensifying social maneuvering.
A mysterious letter arrives for the master, hinting at a scandal involving a prominent Royalist.
Your own past is catching up to you - a former acquaintance from your childhood has been seen nearby, asking questions.
The balance of power among the factions is shifting, and everyone is looking for leverage - including you.
