"And an Owl at her door as a sentinel stood."

Sir Issac Newton not only revealed to all the laws of motion, he opened the door to a new Alchemy! What was once mere rumor and speculation is now proven. Magic is now taught at Oxford and Cambridge. But more than that has happened. Students have tried to summon the gods of Olympus to England. Visions have appeared but something seems off. Other scholars have made the assumption that maybe the Greek Gods aren't really suitable for English folk to contact. So the gods of the Celts and the Norse have also been summoned. Again visions appeared, but seemingly little else.

Seemingly is an appropriate word here. The gods are at no one's beck and call. But the summoning did allow something. The gods once again can touch the British Isles.

Each group of Gods, the Greeks, the Norse, and the Celts are seeking followers. Throughout the British Isles. They have wakened and strengthened the fay. They have spoken to the Cunning Folk in their dreams. The British Isles are far more changed than the scholars of Oxford and Cambridge know.

It's a twist on a hidden magic campaign. The world is not as the PCs were taught to believe. Can they survive to become reeducated?
