The Campaign of '68 was a disastrous attempt by British forces to invade Hell.
At What Cost?
Not even a decade after the Fall, and upon finding themselves just downriver of Hell, the Royal Army planned a good Christian invasion. The invasion went straight to hell, in exactly the wrong way.
The operation was a complete disaster, as the soldiers were overrun in the Forgotten Quarter. Only a few units and troops actually managed to breach the borders of infernal territory. They told of strange and terrifying sights: fields of burning roses, devilbone churches, brass triremes, a vast and pitiless bureaucracy, a throne that stands in the shadow of a gallows. Too many lives were lost that day.
One can find veterans of the invasion around the city: traumatized warriors in the bars of Watchmaker's Hill, peculiarly ambitious clergymen, drunkards passed out in the gutter. The invasion left a long shadow on London, but even after such a dramatic loss, there’s no way the clergy doesn’t have more plans in store for the devils.
The Bishop of Southwark is a notable veteran of the campaign. He was part of a brigade that was captured in battle; his scream of pain after touching a fiery hellish rose alerted the devils to the regiment's presence. Most of his comrades were hanged, but the Bishop himself lived to tell the tale.
