The Question of Albion
an uchronic fantasy Jaunt of magic and succession
March 19 - April 28

During the month leading up to the High King of Albion’s ceremonial abdication and retirement, the city of Londinium waits to see if the crown will pass along the maternal line to the High King’s sister’s child as tradition--or if the High King’s own child will raise their banner against the rightful heir as expected. It has been more than a century since there has been a succession dispute of this nature, but there is precedent--and because of this, everyone in Albion will need to think very hard about whose claim they will back.

Matters are complicated, as always, by the genii: supernatural entities who humans summon and form contracts with in order to benefit from their aid and accomplish feats of magic. In Albion, the main workers of contractual magic are the Druids, who are traditionally neutral in these conflicts--but such things are not necessarily true of the magical workers of other lands.

And there is a circle of magic workers from nearby Gaule in town.

Lead by a failed Albionese druid, they seek to contract with a far greater genius than they have before--and should they succeed, they would make valuable allies for either would-be heir. Of course, if they fail, the consequences could be disastrous...
