			The city of London right from its beginnings in
			Roman times, was a city of trade. It is hardly surprising then, that on the other side of the Shroud, trade
			was the life-breath of the city right up until the Sixth
			Great Maelstrom struck. However, after that, the society of the dead began to spiral into chaos, and the
			lands of the living began to decay in a violent, vivid
			reflection of the lands of the dead.

			Slowly, global warming began to wring the prosperity and life out of the city. The temperatures rose,
			smog became a daily sight across the city, and unpredictable weather caused outbreaks of disease that
			halted the majority of London's tourism in its tracks. However, the worst was yet to come. Much of the
			world was beginning to suffer from a rise in sea-levels and increased flooding, but no one ever suspected the
			Thames Barrier to give way. But it did. Thousands died, and many people found themselves living in
			over a foot of tepid river-water. Cases of disease sky-rocketed, discontent grew among the public, and
			violence became commonplace.

			Claiming more and more power over the people of the city, and auctioning off more and more of the
			public services in order to cut taxes and quell the insurrection, the government ushered in more and more
			laws restricting peoples rights. This culminated in the '''Public Order Act of 2012''' which gave the police the
			power to shoot to kill, and also made public execution legal for the first time since 1858.

			Inevitably, London's gang culture grew, and soon the privately funded police force was massively overstretched. They ceased to
			patrol the worst areas of the city, which were mainly situated in the East End. The area quickly earned the name of the No Go Zone,
			a filthy slum under control of a gang called the East End Soldiers.

			== A Bitter Reflection ==
			The lands of the dead didn't fare much better in these dark times. The Hierarchy dissolved under the
			weight of the Maelstrom, dozens of denizens of the Shadowlands, wraith and spectre alike, were hurled
			across the Shroud to rise in bodies they didn't recognize, factions of violent Mediums rose up against the
			dead, and new factions formed out of the ashes of institutions that had ruled for millennia.

			Now the city lies in a confused disarray and it is the young Restless who have a chance to build their
			own futures now that an eternity of tradition and autocracy are gone. However, the young wraiths holding
			the reins of London's power seem unable to break the dictates of the past that have so long been imposed
			over the lands of the dead, and the city finds itself in danger of changing one dictatorship for another.
			What's more, the most ancient of the city's wraiths are far from gone for good, and the constant barrage of
			the Maelstrom has only made them colder, made them darker, made them meaner.
