Site Overview

Lore Overview

Our community is based in 1940, United Kingdom, during the Second World War. However, this World War is a complete deviation from history. It is a war between mortal humanity and supernatural kind, and their advocates. Our stage is set in the city once known as London, now referred to as New London, with Branches to Liverpool, Edinburgh, Dublin, and local Islands. We also have reach to the Americas, and may have mention of how the World War is affecting other regions, but they are not considered our primary focus locations for reasons you can explore on the Locations page. This site is designed for adventure in a war-torn world, with lots of hooks and reasons to move about and interact. Our Factions are designed to have aspects you will like, and not like, to create inner conflict, doubt, or frictions. Our locations by era are designed to have holes in security that allow for shadow or criminal networking. Our faction leaders are stabilized by NPCs for storytelling purposes to be able to run our events. Your can choose to move about the world, utilizing your network to your advantage, or settle in a city with all its advantages and disadvantages. The Supernatural are exposed, and now it is up to the individual to let themselves be exposed, or stay in hiding, working in the shadows. After all, the only test to see if one is immortal is with a bullet, unless you are supernatural yourself. But humans have an interesting problem living in denial, you could hunt the very thing you are.

Your Character(s)

Of Pride and Providence is an “Open World”. Provided the lorebook is followed at all times, you may make your character build and navigate the region under the duress of the war in your character’s own way. Woman are exempt from the draft, but all able boded men between the ages of 18 and 41 are expected to draft and serve in the war. If your character appears of this age and is not serving, they may be stopped and questioned by authorities. Professions placed in “reserves” who may not be expected to fight unless they volunteered are crucial industries like shipbuilding, coal mining, agriculture, medicine, transportation (such as railway workers), schoolteachers, lighthouse keepers, police, first responders and some scientists and engineers. However, they may lean more towards younger, or older people to fill those roles when able, so it is not absolute. Hunters are 100% exempt, as soldiers fight the good fight on the battlefield, Hunters are protecting home. Conscientious objectors are considered traitors to humanity and will be executed. If one does not wish to serve in humanity’s war, they must quietly relocate to another region/faction. Supernatural may openly fight against mortals, or join their ranks in secrecy for either sabotage or their own agenda. This is, that male characters MUST have some aspect about the war part of their character, but does not necessarily need to FIGHT in the war, as there are many angles to explore. .
