London was once a safe place, a place where one could settle down and raise a family, but that ideal London is no more. Instead, London is a dark and morbid place, a place where every day is a fight for survival. The rich, the powerful, and the beautiful reside here, though the poor, ugly, and desperate also reside here as well, though the rich and beautiful are also the corrupted. They have become so enraptured by the life of privilege that they lead that they have turned into the very people that they once hated and they are generally resented by everyone else. After all, they believe that power should be distributed evenly, though as long as the powerful families have money they shall continue to rule with an iron fist.
You see, once upon a time London was ruled by the rich and the powerful and they ruled with an iron fist, beheading anyone that spoke out against their leadership abilities, or lack thereof. These were dark days indeed, the days before London developed any form of government. Society was split into three groups: the rich and the beautiful, the middle class and average, and the poor and the ugly. Naturally, the rich ruled, seeing as how money has always played a vital role for any group wishing to rule. The more money you have, the more apt you are to rule.
Eventually, however, the three groups reached a peace agreement of sorts and a new form of government erupted. However, the wealthy businessmen quickly tired of the new government and they strived to return London to its former glory, though everyone else strongly opposed this change, for they had power at long last. After all, that is what everyone strives for: power, fame, and fortune, but once again those who were wealthy got their way and power switched hands, once again falling into the greedy graps of wealthy businessmen.
This did not sit well with anyone else and a fued erupted and society was torn into five groups, or clans: the Vanaheim's, the Verdandi's, the Ceridwen's, the Ragnarok's, and the Dagda's. The fued soon turned into a time of immense bloodshed, though some of that bloodshed wore off when the new generation came into power.
Now, however, hositlies are high and some fear that a war will soon erupt.
