RECAP: In the year 1920, at the rise of the new era of technology, a group of adventurers set off to find fame and wealth. They encountered many challenges and met new friends, and finally reached their goal. All returning to London, rich from they wealth they took from an ancient ruin, they went their separate ways. Thomas and Clara got married, starting up a bank and watching their riches grow around them. They had two children, a boy and a girl, whom they sent to only the finest schools and bought only the finest items for. The older one, a boy by the age of 17, currently goes to a university, while their daughter, 13, goes to a private school. Jack disappeared back to the coastal Viking clans, rumoured to have become a chieftain. Nox and the Black Seraph left with a small sum of gold, and dissapeared without a trace. Over the years, rumours of the Seraph Plague faded to be replaced by whisperings of remote villages vanishing overnight. Lost, the undead Nazi from another dimension, was gone from his post when the group emerged from the ruins, his footprints covered by fresh snowfall. Tom's strange book, "The Book of the Lion"- which he had left in London when leaving for the trip- faded from his mind, and was sold when they moved to a penthouse in central London. Likewise, Clara's fascination with the occult faded, and the married couple soon lost their feel for adventure. The book passed between owners over 25 years- from bookstore to bookstore, library to library, scholar to scholar- until finally it fell into the hands of a poor entrepreneur named Jameson "Turkish" Dullahan in 1945. By the year 1945, the British-German war had subsided into nonexistance, due mostly to Germany's economic collapse and revolution, and to Britain's disinterest with continuing the conflict. An armistice, the Treatise of Kiel, was signed in 1939 and the nations went their separate ways. By that time, Britain had moved from the power of coal and steam to one similar to what America was using; internal combustion. Massive engines fuelled by diesel and vapours churned and chugged as new models of airships were spewed out of Britain's naval yards. Steamships soon became obsolete, and many were purchased for a low price by aspiring sailors and explorers. Gradually, prices continued falling, to the point where many young captains were able to start up their own shipping firms. Starting around 1943, the idea of international trading began to arise, and soon ships were sailing out into the unknown in search of fortune. Turkish was one of these new innovators. He had combined his inheritance and life's savings to purchase a small outdated airship, rigged for carrying cargo. His goal was to make a fortune trading goods from around the world. There was one thing he was missing though- a crew. And he wouldn't settle for some drunkard dockworkers, either. He wanted only the best, but he wanted them cheap. So he kept his ship stored in London, and set out to find a crew like no other.
