The year is 1869, and much is changed from what we know. In the West, smoke and steam dim the sun, as the fires of industrial revolution churn out ever greater quantities of goods and gears to satiate modern society. Though these machines of progress promise development and prosperity the likes of which the world has never seen, the reality of smog choked skies and soot stained faces has stirred the siren song of liberation within the hearts of the masses. Reactionary elements attempt to hold against this tide, but how long they will succeed only providence knows. The East, in our world the land of stubborn tradition and exotic mystery, is instead a reflection of the West, and though both maintain separate and unique identities, a universal calling drives the Great Powers of both horizons forward. The prospect of Empire.
As the engines of ambition continue to rumble in the rest of the world, intrepid explorers from both horizons now meet in the dark continent, and states both young and old look to exploit the riches of Africa. With the wheels of change ever turning, it now falls on you, great leader, to take charge. Will you guide your nation deftly through a web of intrigue and diplomacy? Will you build an industry that will be the workshop of the world? Or will you cover all in the shade of the banners of conquest? The choice is yours...
Tales of Two Horizons is an alternate history rp based on the premise of a divided China with states equivalent in advancement and industry to those of the West. A healthy dose of alternate history is given to the European nations as well. In Southern Europe, coalition forces led by Wladyslaw III inflicted a stunning defeat against the Ottomans at Varna. Following this, the Ottomans made peace, never to expand past Bulgaria. Hungary and Poland, though separated by the death of Wladyslaw after the battle, benefited greatly from this, with Hungary seizing the opportunity to expand into the Balkans while the Commonwealth eventually subjugated Muscovy and Siberia. The Ottomans continued a downward spiral in the mid 1800s, and were partitioned following intervention by the Great Powers in 1848-1850. Freed from the shackles of the Balkans, Austria has maintained its position as the leader of German politicking, and recently has conducted a series of “Ausgliech” negotiations to centralize much of the German Confederation under its rule. In Western Europe, England's counter-armada successfully landed in Spain, and following French intervention, Spain was forced to cede much of South America to the victors. The later United Kingdom faced revolutions in its North American colonies, but through skillful negotiations was able to maintain the loyalty of the New England region, which following the Treaty of Paris became the Kingdom of New England, a constituent of the United Kingdom.
