Summary[]

From the Onyx Path catalog:

Victorian Lost: A Maze of Smoke and Hedge is a historical setting for Changeling: The Lost. This book contains information on the late Victorian Era, including both actual history and fanciful imaginings of this time. You'll find discussions of the occasionally violent tensions between the rich and the masses of the poor who worked in their factories and homes. This book also examines the competing visions of rural and urban life. Some saw the countryside as pure and cities as corrupt, while others viewed rural areas as ignorant and backwards, and cities as centers of progress and invention.
This book includes:
  • Setting material and player and Storyteller advice for running Changeling games in the late Victorian Era.
  • New and updated contract clauses, as well as two new kiths.

Memorable Quotes[]

As the shadows peeled back from the obstruction, she saw it was a thick wall of thorns. Briars laced to and fro, and wrapped tightly within them was Old Meg, her eyes staring past Maggie to some other horror. She was mouthing something Maggie couldn’t understand, although she didn’t struggle. Blood ran along her hands and face from where the thorns bit into her.

As far as I am concerned, you are only reducing the surplus population. You can both do what you like to the wretches you steal and feed on. I simply do not want to see the police involved again should one of the bodies turn up...
