Welcome to my new CJ Endersby. It is set in a parallel history around the First World War. I have been very much inspired by the CJ Endora on SC4devotion and the Leviathan trilogy of books. Some entries will show cities, battles and events while others will show a cast of characters similar to The Sensational Six.They will be introduced in the next update.
IMPORTANT CITIES

The Titanic gently cuts through the calm and peaceful waters. The ship's lights are turned off so everyone can admire the beautiful ocean. But the captain failed to notice a large iceberg. It scraped into the side of the ship, allowing thousands of gallons of water into the ship.The lights went on, people panicked and within hours, the ship began to sink. The next picture will show the destruction.
