Since London began, it has been the social center of the English empire. The royals and the noble classes held sway over fashion, art, and literature. In this the modern age, kinship to the nobility isn't what makes or breaks the social standing of any individual.

It's money and power that rules London now. Within the social whirl of London, two families dominate the polite society and anyone who is anyone will make connections with them at some point. The Kensingtons and the Queens, all have the same agenda. To be the best and to be the focus when the world looks at the London social pages.

The Kensingtons have been running this town as long as they can remember and believe it in their heart of hearts that the city and all its wealth is rightfully theirs. Money, power, and status with a hint of noble blood in the mix, make this family the top of the social food chain.

Then, of course, there is the underside of London. The dark and shady areas. Most of the families listed have their hands dirty in one way or another, (some more members more than others). However, still another family rules the roost when it comes to illegal activities and the darker side of power.

You want it? If you have the money, this family can make it happen. The Queens, an international mob family, have their own agenda. They have had a presence in London since the beginning. It has grown exponentially over the passing generations.

They have no use for polite society other than to have a hold on the law makers and government officials so that they can keep their interests going without trouble, and just to show that they can, basically. Bribery, threats, beatings, and even murder are commonplace with this family and they protect their own, to the death.

This is the backdrop that sets the stage for our world. Something is always going on somewhere in London, all you have to do is open your eyes to see it. Though be careful, sometimes what you see could be your ruin. Which side will you take? Will you stand on your own, or will you succumb to the pressure of choosing a side? Step through the fog, into the city, make yourself at home and see the sights.

Meet people, make friends, and perhaps even enemies?
