Premise Summary:
This world isn't quite like ours. Not quite. In the wake of the rennisance, which occured in the mid-thirteenth century, society changed. Gender became less important and chosen roles were taken more into account. Technology continued at a slightly increased rate but with a great deal of aestheticism taken into account: Computers exist in the nineteen century (now), but everything's different. The Americas were settled and warred, the Civil War having ended 8 years ago. The year is 1873. The City's name is LeChance. Located in Southern California, it sprung up almost overnight. Beautifully. The town is full of old world glory and decadance, a coastal city with paved streets, boardwalks on the coast, 100 miles from anywhere. Leroy LeChance, the developer has a city for 10,000 people without anyone to live in it. It has pharmacies and Doctor's offices. Repair shops and general stores. Dress Maker's and tailors and a dozen other things besides. He just needs people.
