From [[AlternatehistoryAlternateHistory.com]] comes a series that is sure to tantalize. The story begins in 1918: World War I is in its endgame and the German Empire is desperately grasping at straws for anything that might turn the tide. Enter Oliver Haddo, a mysterious occultist who offers his skills to the German military command. From there, well, let's just say all hell breaks loose. It can be found at [https://web.archive.org/web/20121212152856/http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=132883 here] and also [http://fenrirangerboda.deviantart.com/ here].
 
The story itself follows the World from the End of [[World War OneI]], as Humans adapt to the new world around them.
