Factions: A Murder Mystery
An official Doomsday announcement was made by NASA scientists that an unexpected group of asteroids will strike Earth in only ten days, leading to mass devastation around the globe. Top astrophysicists have exhausted all efforts to prevent the collisions, and the outlook for the planet is quite grim.
The Vampire, Sorcerer, and Werewolf Factions have formally announced their existence to the humans and have arranged a meeting to form an alliance and strategize against this cluster of cosmic boulders to save the world. They believe with their combined skills; they will be able to ban together and stop this catastrophe in the nick of time. That is, if this unprecedented gathering goes well.
The Factions have agreed to meet at the former house of horrors of New Orleans, Louisiana—Dauphine Place, a legendary residence of the French Quarter. This will be the first time in history that supernatural beings have met with the humans. Will the alliance save the world, or start the apocalypse early?
This is where your story begins.
