Over a hundred years ago a group of citizens from across the ages rose up to battle a great evil, this ongoing war has been kept secret by the Culvert Watchmen and now you have a chance to join the fight. By embarking on this quest you join the ranks of watchmen and help to battle a sleeping evil.
Long ago, attracted to the pollution in the river Ouseburn, leaking from the lead paint factory, an ancient beast descended on Newcastle. The beast fed on any that came too close and no end to its terror was in sight; this was when the Culvert Watchmen were formed. A small group of brave locals banded together to tackle the beast, but before they could mount an attack, they were joined by travellers from across time and space. The arrival of the beast in Newcastle represented a major moment in all history, and the success of the Culvert Watchmen was imperative. The travellers provided the locals with superior technology enabling them to put the beast to sleep, and the secrets to keep it that way.
Using the advice of the travellers, the people of Newcastle built the culvert using reinforced concrete, an invention gifted by those from the future, and buried the sleeping beast in rubbish above it. The travellers had told the locals that the combination of being surrounded by rubbish, especially discarded bottles, would keep the beast trapped while the running water below would keep it asleep. This is when the Watchmen got their name vowing to oversee the beasts entrapment; made up of locals and future time travellers the group continue to save us from the beast in an ongoing battle.
Today the Culvert Watchmen NEED YOU! Head to the starting co-ordinates to find out what mission they have in store and become a part of the secret history so few know about.
