The Clocktower towers over the City of Vampires, its golden face dimly illuminating a single section of the city. Those fortunate or not to live in that district can always tell the time of day, while others rely on the dim tolling of the bell. Through dark doors and through a library, one can find oneself in the bell keepers chambers, the deafening machine room or the bell tower itself. But the keeper is not along, for somewhere within is an ancient evil. Works within a dark, gothic setting or within a dark steampunk environment.
The City of Vampires exists in a netherworld, a city of black stone resting on a stone island in a sea of mist. Its denizens are from countries unknown to each other, seemingly walking into the city by accident. Seeing neither sun or moon, but hazy orbs beyond a cloudy sky, the wary vacate the streets during the Dark Hour, for it is then that the monsters walk freely.
