Title: Endersby - 1912-1917
Post by: Hahei on May 17, 2012, 01:57:14 AM
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

NEW YORK
NY, USA is a huge port city on the
East Coast of America. It sells anything from
cars to mechanical walkers. The city
is currently planning on building a
giant airship landing port, the
largest on Earth.

ISTANBUL
The city's importance mainly rests on the
location of the city itself. Britain and Russia's
maritime trade is checked at the city's borders.
Industry, markets and mosques abound in this metropolis.

PARIS
Paris is a city noted not only of it's power, but
the city's beauty. Hot air balloon rides and boating
down the Seine is popular for both tourists and
residents alike.

the likes of smog and airships.

One night a storm struck:

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.
