🌫️ London — City of Fog, Crown & Rebellion

“Where the mist blends empire and outcast, stone whispers secrets beneath gaslit skies.”

📜 Origin Legend

Born at the crossing of rivers and ley lines, London emerged from Bronze Age rituals atop buried stones of power. Over centuries, it became a nexus of kingdoms, plague and poetry, trade and treason. Each borough holds its own fragment of spirit—from the misty docks of Wapping to the vaulted stone of Westminster. In its fog, rebels find refuge and rulers find their reflection.
