Mercury & Blood: The Shadow of the Brotherhood

By Matt Parker

A Victorian Noir Drenched in Fog and Fear
London, 1889. The fog rolls in before dawn and never quite leaves. It clings to the streets, the rooftops, the breath of every passer-by thick enough to hide a knife, a whisper, or an entire conspiracy.

Behind the dim windows of Kennington Park Road, The Organisation works in absolute silence, coded messages, and the kind of secrets that stain a man's hands long before the blood ever does. They watch the city from the shadows, waiting for the next tremor in the dark.

As the Irish Brotherhood gathers in the smoke-choked corners of South London. Their plans move through the city like an infection; quiet, deliberate, and impossible to stop once it takes hold. Every meeting is a threat. Every disappearance, a message.

Between these two unseen forces lies a London drowning in soot and suspicion. Gas lamps flicker like dying eyes. Footsteps echo where no one should be walking. And in the fog, danger moves with purpose.

A bleak, atmospheric descent into covert war; where loyalties rot, shadows lie, and the truth is just another thing waiting to be buried beneath the London smog.
