Gothic Horror Adventure!

For centuries the fogs defined the world. They would wax and wane in the oceans and in the wilderness, making travel dangerous. On the world's edge they would slowly move inwards, sometimes halting for generations in one place, and then devouring whole countries in a single night. To the philosophers they were the great primordial chaos devouring the world, to the clergy they were the judgement of God, and the peasants in their villages each made up their own story as they watched the distant doom.

Now the fogs on the world's edge are receding. Inventors create new technological wonders, steel boats, railways, and air ships that cut through the whiffs of fog rising from the wilderness. New liberal ideas are spreading across the world, encouraging change. Some say that it's not only the material fog that's retreating, but also the fog of ignorance that has held the world down for so long.

Yet the new ideas and new ways are not always welcome. Some are angry that their ancient power is eroded away. Others are afraid of new ideas and new faces, upset that their once familiar world is changing beyond recognition. There are even those who worry about what the fogs might reveal as they pull back.
