Imagine, if you will, that the universe that we live in has many, many parallel versions.  The same people, the same places, just each and every one of them ever so slightly different, thousands of them. 

A pick n mix of universes where one could turn left at a junction in one (and get a cola cube), whilst in the other you turn right (and get a liquorice stick). Each time with different outcomes and possibilities for the inhabitants.

And if your mind is open to the possibility of this, then imagine that in some of the universes will be a world that we would recognise as similar to our own, and in others, although familiar, they would be very, very different.

Different periods of time, different technology, different politics, belief systems, industries, economies, the same gods of course, for these were their playthings, like different versions of the same game, with themes of their choosing, and their believers and non-believers living very much for their amusement but having no idea quite how much so. Quite a shock to find that out when you pop your clogs, I can tell you.

This takes us to one particular universe, where our story begins.  The town of Chesham.  A melting pot of a town, where magic and ogres, and dwarves and goblins exist. Where law and order are in short supply and it is nearly always raining. There are no magic rings or cloaks of invisibility but if that becomes a useful plot twist then let’s not rule it out altogether.
