Earth: 1920s

The 1920s, a world caught in the liminal space between the ravages of the Great War and the encroaching darkness of an impending global conflict, bears witness to a fragile dance of opulence and despair. Amidst the glittering façades of bustling metropolises, where the jazz age swings with reckless abandon, whispers of clandestine societies and occult practices circulate through smoky speakeasies. Flapper-clad socialites, their laughter masking a deeper longing for meaning, immerse themselves in hedonistic pleasures, oblivious to the encroaching shadows that lurk just beyond their glamorous existence.   Yet, as Prohibition fuels the rise of organized crime, the urban underbelly festers with corruption, bootleggers, and secret cabals, each vying for power and dominance. The air is heavy with the scent of secrets, and shadows seem to stretch longer, concealing ancient knowledge and eldritch horrors lurking at the fringes of consciousness. In this era of burgeoning scientific progress, it becomes apparent that mankind's insatiable curiosity has awakened forces long forgotten, with occult artifacts and forbidden tomes unveiling twisted pathways to forbidden realms where ancient deities stir, awaiting their chance to unleash chaos upon the world.   Beneath the glimmering veneer of the Roaring Twenties, a foreboding tension seethes, hinting at a world on the brink of unraveling, and only those willing to delve into the forbidden and face the darkness head-on can hope to unveil the sinister truths that threaten to shatter the fragile facade of an era defined by its intoxicating blend of euphoria and trepidation.
