Absinthe is a realistic historical forum set in London in 1854 at the height of the Victorian era. We emphasize the written word and the ability to tell a dramatic and engaging tale woven with intricacy to entrap the reader. Our concept is based on popular literature and media. Our writers are able to take inspiration from various 19th-century period dramas and bring them to life in an engaging environment that is well-organized and fun to write on.
The site was originally created as a compliment to the field of historical sites catering to those who wish to step back in time and create a world around historical ancestry. We welcome dark intrigue here. As we are a 3/3/3 rating, we encourage well-thought-out plots that contain violence, mystery, calamity, the macabre, and the suspenseful. Those who write here enjoy living in the shadows and writing in blood, or the angst and intrigue of a new romance.

WANTED
Anne Stafford is the eldest child of the 2nd Marquess and Marchioness of Exeter. Like all of the Stafford children, her upbringing was sheltered, strict and suffocating. Right from birth the pressure was on her to be the perfect lady: beautiful, flawless and the embodiment of womanhood. Yet, also like all the Stafford children, the immense pressure on her coupled with the near tyrannical atmosphere has left her with a myriad of insecurities and vulnerabilities which she hides behind a of defensive wall of cutting wit, withering sarcasm and outright anger toward her family and peers. In short, now that she's free of her father, all she wants to do is watch the world burn.

For Final Endgame 
The eldest son to Michael & Annalise, Edmund will inherit his titles and lands when the time comes. But his life is not without loss. Finding love after some time in an arranged marriage, he lost her prematurely after the failed birth of their second child; a boy. Now his life’s breath is in his daughter Abigail who can do no wrong in his eyes. Even four years later he still struggles to accept the loss of his wife and pours himself into his work instead of searching for someone suitable to replace her.

The year is 1851. Queen Victoria sits on the throne. The Crystal Palace stands proudly in Hyde Park. And for all its splendor, something dark lurks in London. This is Absinthe, a Victorian RP.
