William and Tamara at first do not believe him, until he is suddenly slaughtered before their eyes by werewolves, and their father is possessed by a demon. Before dying, their grandfather had told the two that they are to carry on his legacy as protectors of Albion. His words are soon confirmed when they are soon introduced to the ghosts of the poet Lord Byron, Admiral Nelson, and Queen Bodicea, also mystical protectors of Albion. They all leave their home, now overrun with demons, to the house of Nigel Townshend, an old friend of their father's (as well as Nelson's). There they study spells and prepare themselves to fend off certain doom from Britain--and the world.On June 28, 2007, Eden Studios released the "quick start" version of the Ghosts of Albion RPG. This free PDF, written by Timothy S. Brannan and Garner Johnson is designed to introduce players to the Ghosts of Albion RPG due in September of 2008. (en)
