7	Set in a place only known as The Station - this place is a world between worlds, a place that has fallen out of time and into the cracks in our world, or any world for that matter. The people that populate The Station are many and varied, ranging from the mystical to the mechanical. Times and places clash together, places out of science fiction live alongside castles out of the MiddleAges. The massive railway that gives The Station its namesake is the center and lifeblood of the city, and everything has sprung up about it.

11	The work of a being only known as The [[EldritchAbomination Methespidian]] and its lackeys, beings known as the Nightscapers has brought The Station to its knees. Now, the city is a ruined shell of its former, chaotic, glorious self, with everyone too frightened of The Methespidian's power to even try to fight.

13	At least, most everyone. Corresponding through a series of letters for the last year, a group of [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits eight individuals]], each with their own motivations, have finally conspired to meet, and set out on a journey to send The Methespidian back to wherever it came from.
