The Hidden Ones

For centuries magic has been part of our world’s everyday life. But now, roughly a hundred odd years since the Industrial Revolution, few people remember those once magnificent days. Now the world is run by machines and industry and magic is slowly being removed from our way of life.

The Fea seem to have left our mundane world and the once numerous were-creatures have begun to hide behind human disguises. But there are some that still believe and practice. Chief among these is Lord Daniel Lionel, an English explorer known for delving into the deepest jungles and climbing to the highest peaks to uncover artifacts that are believed to hark back to the time of magic.

But now in his twilight years and with no heirs, it is believed that Lord Daniel is planning on auctioning off some of his prized possessions. The questions on everyone’s lips is “What will be seen?” and “Who will be there?”.

But alas, the invitations have only been handed to a select few, and we were not on the guest list. So, dear readers, we will just have to wait and see what the magical fallout shall be.
