Welcome to City Nouveau, the Manhattan- sprawl of 1920's alt-earth. In this world, underwater nations, fabled cities, inhuman species and alien visitors are all true, all present and all willing to hold dominion upon our planet. In here, technology and arcane knowledge mingle, deeply influencing the events of recorded history after the advent of the Argent, an extraterrestrial species of great power and obscure intentions.
I went by this. It was REALLY hard to think of celebrities from 1920 for my purposes; came up blank.
