Our Story Begins

This innovative and truly compelling alternate take on history is set in Victorian-Era London, in a time when the Industrial Revolution has changed the face of the world. Electricity runs throughout the city of London, a newly formed underground train system serves its districts, while Airships patrol its skies. At the heart of The Order: 1886 is an age-old war between Man and Half-Breed. Over the centuries, one of the Half-Breed races known as the Lycans, has taken a foothold throughout Europe. They are an intelligent but savage people who have proved a ruthless foe against mankind. In Arthurian times, the Knights of The Order were assembled to protect humanity from this threat. Thus Knights and Lycans have been fighting for centuries.

By 1886, advances in technology by inventors like Nikola Tesla have given humans an advantage in this war. Equipped with powerful weapons such as incendiary Thermite rifles and electrical Arc guns, The Order is steadily turning the tide against the Half-breeds. But a new threat is rising in London—a populist rebellion, rooted in the “sunken classe” of the gritty, downtrodden streets of Whitechapel.
