Current date as the play begins is 6th June 1913

Rules set: CoC 5.6

Accepting players: Yes

This play will be following the main characters from Chaosium's Campaign "Masks of Nyarlathotep" - before a certain Carlyle Expedition is launched. We will discover the drives and reasons behind the characters' actions. In this version it's not sure that all main characters will make the expedition.
Something might get in the way.
As such, this is pretty much a What-If type of play.

This play is containing SPOILERS for the actual Masks of Nyarlathotep, even if the content within the play is not canon to the Lovecraftian/Chaosium lore.
Consider the facts and deductions of the play as fan-fiction.

Regards.

Timing is pertinent in all things. A quick reference to the times of 1913. A cut out of June is here:

A highly distinguished gentleman's club originally out of Liverpool. A place for travelers and explorers of the white spots of the globe to share stories.
A water hole for gentlemen of scientific, literary or artistic accomplishments as well as patrons of these endeavours.

An independent division of The Red Cross of Maine, devoted to work against anti-christian beliefs. What works in the shadows must be banished by blood and light. Little is known of what the Order is really about. Only the Installed Eusebius Viceroys have that knowledge.

In charge of relocating millions of citizens to Siberia and to the Okhrana has had much on its plate recently. They also look into the Dyatlov region as there has been reports of population of entire villages gone missing.

Center for education and research as well as preservation of the arcane in the interest of The Empire of her Majesty the Queen.
Anthropology, Archaeology and Egyptology especially are what have made The Penhew Foundation a renowned entity.

Edward and Eliza Gavigan, rule the various aspects of the foundation.

The Carlyle Corporation

A Carlyle, Worthington & Chandler industries corporation for a better world. Bringing light to New York!
The newly finished Carlyle Building, the tallest in the world, is testament to the potential of the Carlyle name.

Founded on lumber and manufacturing, excelling in real estate and geological planning, The Carlyle Corporation is a valued partner to NWI.

Considerable public and parliamentary alarm was caused, in 1912, by reports that an unknown airship, presumed to be German had flown over Sheerness in Kent on the night of October 14th. This event which not only highlighted Britain's lack of air-defences also lead to the establishment of Government Investigation Section 19 (G-19) by the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill.

Sir Laurence Wilkins appointed head of this new section in January 1913.


Winston Churchill, First Lord of Admirality


Section -19, head of operations
