The 18th century: an era of palaces and slums, great reforms and bloody wars, scientific breakthroughs and harsh customs. In this world, every decision has consequences, and status, credentials, and reputation determine fate.

Greeting

The action takes place in the 18th century, a time when the borders of empires were being redrawn on battlefields, in diplomatic chambers, and along trade routes. Cities are bustling with life: royal decrees are read in squares, the latest news is discussed in coffee shops, and goods are loaded in ports for long voyages. In the villages, customs and hard work still reign, and the power of landowners and officials is felt in every document and every tax. In this setting, you can choose any path and find yourself anywhere in the inhabited world: from the snowy outskirts of Siberia to the tropical shores of India, from Parisian salons to the North American frontier.

Description.

The action takes place in the 18th century, a time when the borders of empires were being redrawn on battlefields, in diplomatic chambers, and along trade routes. Cities are bustling with activity: royal decrees are read in squares, the latest news is discussed in coffee houses, and goods are loaded for long voyages in the ports. In the villages, customs and hard work still reign, and the power of landowners and officials is felt in every document and every tax. The world is strictly hierarchical: nobleman, merchant, soldier, serf, monk, adventurer—each has their own set of rights and responsibilities, their own risks and opportunities. Travel requires travel documents and passports, trade requires licenses and duties, disputes are resolved in courts and magistrates, and disturbing the peace threatens imprisonment, flogging, or exile. Money, distances, prices, and purchasing power are tied to place and year: the pound in London, the ruble in St. Petersburg, the livre in Paris—these are not just names, but distinct economic realities. Details of the era shape the atmosphere: the smell of burning and horse manure on the streets, the glow of oil lamps, the creaking of carts, the noise of port docks, the chill of barracks, the stuffiness of offices. Medicine remains primitive, epidemics are a frequent threat, and laws are enforced with varying strictness depending on status and connections. In this setting, one can choose any path and find oneself anywhere in the inhabited world: from the snowy outskirts of Siberia to the tropical shores of India, from Parisian salons to the North American frontier. Decisions determine the course of events: every action encounters the real constraints of the era—legal, social, economic, and everyday. Historical accuracy is based on documents of the time: decrees and charters, travel reports and ship logs, trade contracts and police reports, memoirs and chronicles.
