It is the Victorian era. Progress! Scientific progress! In all the noble houses of England, scientists and patrons are pursuing meaning. Physics, spirituality, magic, the grand unification theory. But although there are lots of large societies dedicated to various magical arts, only one, the smallest, the least known, can claim their knowledge as real.
The Society of the Red Stone have carried out the Great Work for just over a century, after discovering an ancient Arabic Text describing the fundamentals of Alchemy. With it, they have divided the Great Work into three distinct arts;
+ The art of Magickal transfiguration, potions and infusions ; transmuation of matter to matter
+ The art of Magickal charmes and bewitchments; transmuation of thought to actuality
+ The art of Seeing and Manipulating forces Most Highe; transmutation of time and fayte, of immaterial to material, and back againe.
Seven members remain, for three of the original ten were considered foul and greed-driven. These seven are looking to replenish their ranks, and are looking for the spark of pure-heartedness that is necessary to take on such a great art.
Because alchemy is a spiritual journey, and must be accomplished with patience.
The other three though have formed their own society, it's name yet unknown. But they seek to strike at the Society that scorned them. When the time is right. Who will be caught in the middle, will a war be fought, and who will rise from the ashes?

Background/current situation:
The RP is set loosely in London. I will play one of the current members of the society, and a few other characters I'll leave till later to introduce. I am only allowing TWO of the three scorned members to be played, but all of the "current" seven are allowed. The reason the 3 were kicked out is because they tried to use Alchemy for their own ends, and upset the balance. Something went terribly wrong and the 3 are now less than human, or more, whichever you decide... If you decide to be one of them please PM me so I can give you more details. If you are one of the seven you will be on the lookout for pure-hearted people to join you!
