Dec. 5th, 2004 02:59 amI need to name a lot of this stuff.
Setting is roughly turn-of-the-century alternate Earth. Magic is quite common in most places. Story will take place in the Europe-analog -- an area with lots of history and rival nation-states building alliances.

Though, if I do, I will want to avoid the obvious -- if any of the countries scream out OMGNaziGermany, smack me over the head with the Subtlty Stick. Hard.
