Everything you know about the world is but a reflection in the pieces of our Shattered Mirror. Look into our World of Darkness, if you dare.....
Peoria, Illinois. Known in the 1920's as the toughest crowd on the legendary Vaudville circuit. If it played in Peoria, it'd play anywhere. Then, it was a shining jewel of modern America. Now the world has become significantly darker. With the lights of Vaudville long-gone, Peoria has fallen into the shadows of mediocrity. Known still as a great "test market" for corporate America, it holds little esle of interest to the likes of the folk from the "big city." Fortunately, there are still some gems in the folds of the once proud city, like Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu Dresser Co. and a suddenly burgeoning Health industry. The city boasts four major hospitals, numerous medical specialist centers and a rapidly growing population. Prosperity is lurking around the corner once more but the mortal world isn't the only world that has noticed.....
Lurking in the shadows, content to have shed the spotlight of Vaudville, are denizens of another ilk. Those that prey upon the innocent and ignorant, strive to control the lives of the everyday man, and bide their time to master their domain and guide it into a new era of prosperity. Those that would see this new era ushered in are not what one would expect. They are not politicians, bureacrats or governors. They are not even mortal. They are Vampires. They watch us, smell our life essence flowing within our veins, always yearning for just a taste. They lurk in the shadows, in our businesses, churches, factories, government, hotels, parks, restaurants, schools, universities and even our homes. They control our lives whether we acknowledge it or not, even in the smallest ways. They influence what we see, hear and feel daily. They are the masters and we are their puppets. Our world is theirs. We are just their playthings.....
