Penny Dreadful Announcement Bot

Welcome to an alternate Victorian Era Britain where impeccable manners are every bit as important as impeccable tailoring, afternoon tea is practically a sacred institution, and magic has long since settled into everyday life. Here, humans mingle freely with elves, fae, dwarves, spirits, and countless other supernatural folk, though some subjects, particularly vampires, werewolves, and certain ancient bloodlines, are considered terribly improper to discuss in polite company, no matter how widely known they may be. It is a world of glittering ballrooms, sprawling country estates, whispered scandals, mysterious old families, and elegant secrets, where appearances are everything... and, as The London Whisper is fond of reminding its readers, every society has its secrets.

The theme is Victorian High Society with a dreadful twist!

If you've spent any time in London's fashionable circles, you've undoubtedly heard of The London Whisper. The city's beloved society paper, famous for its clever wit, polished gossip, and uncanny knack for knowing everyone's business before they do. Beneath its motto, "Every Society Has Its Secrets," it chronicles engagements, scandals, soirées, and whispered rumors that can elevate a reputation or leave drawing rooms buzzing for weeks. Curiously, no one has ever discovered who writes, edits, or publishes it, making The London Whisper one of London's most enduring, and delightfully irresistible, mysteries. There will be an optional Correspondence Tracker that you can attach to your bots that will share pieces of gossip about the characters! This tracker is based on a tracker made by @Ishiraya If you submit an NPC you can also submit Gossip Entries to go in the Whispers Lorebook!

Ashcombe Hall Ashcombe Hall is the magnificent ancestral estate of the Dowager Lady Eudora Ashcombe and one of the most prestigious gathering places in England's high society. Renowned for its grand social events, the estate is where influential guests forge alliances, kindle romances, and shape the ever-turning world of fashionable society.

Wisteria House Wisteria House is London's most fashionable tea salon, celebrated for its refined atmosphere, impeccable service, and elegant afternoon teas. A cornerstone of the social season, it is where high society gathers to socialize, exchange gossip, admire the latest fashions, and cultivate influential relationships.

Rosewood Park Rosewood Park is London's premier public garden and the city's most fashionable destination for the daily promenade. Its elegant pathways and manicured grounds provide the perfect setting for chance encounters, social introductions, and the public display of status and reputation.

Nightshade Hall Nightshade Hall is the ancient ancestral home of the distinguished Nightwell family, renowned for its stately beauty, sprawling hunting grounds, and unmistakable air of mystery. Under the enigmatic Lord Nightwell, the estate hosts lavish hunts and elegant house parties that draw England's aristocracy in search of society, romance, and whispered secrets.
