Physical Description

Elizabeth has long blonde hair, very slightly curled, that either hangs loose or is kept in elaborate braids, often kept in place by large hairpins. Though very beautiful by any standards she might be considered a little too pale today, with a slightly frail and ethereal look as if she stepped from the cover of a fantasy novel. This is accentuated by her tendency to wear full length dresses in white or bright colours, with fantastic patterns and decorations.

History

Why Elizabeth Emmington, a woman from a good family, fell into decadent artistic circles is hardly difficult to determine: Overindulgent parents, an inheritance from a doting grandmother, and bad influences from the horrid French novels she kept reading. At any rate she loved the decadents and had a fascination with mystical paintings and strange rites practised by them.

Now the question better asked would be why she became a Dreamspeaker. In part this was due to the influence of certain Hindu mystics who were frequenting London in the 1890s. That and Saint-Yves stories of Agartha, combined with the mediumistic powers shown across Europe, turned her towards the powers of the mind. The idea that everything was the dream of Brahman, and that the world itself was a dream.

Her formal tutor was a gentleman who called himself Kuranes and taught a doctrine that all things only existed in as much as they were given form by a mind. Time and distance were illusions and objects only existed in as much as you either imagined they did, or they had a mind of their own. In order to transcend time and distance he used copious amounts of drugs and oriental meditation techniques.

For the Traditions the death of the Dark Queen Victoria and the defection of the Technocrats in 1904 were a period of great joy. However this propelled a period of great Technocratic oppression; the 1905-1906 Russian uprisings, the 1905 law on separation of Church and state, and the anti-mediumistic persecutions treating mediums as charlatans.

IT was in this period that a small commune in the woods near London was raided by the police. Or ostensibly the police. In reality it was technocrat stormtroopers seeking to hunt down traditions mages. Fortunately Elizabeth had prepared a small hiding room in the basement for just this occasion. Lying down on a wooden boat floating on a small lake she drank a magical potion and lay down to wait for rescue...

And she dreamt...
