For instance, they typically wear ritual skull masks which are in fact the skulls of creatures that, in the Great Houses' version of history, never existed. Their stronghold on Earth exists in a version of London, within what they call "The Eleven-Day Empire", bought from the British government in 1752. In that year, the <A title="British Empire" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire">British Empire</A> first adopted the <A title="Gregorian calendar" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar">Gregorian calendar</A>, and in so doing had to correct their dating scheme by 11 days (<A title="September 2" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_2">September 2</A>, <A title="1752" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1752">1752</A> being followed by <A title="September 14" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_14">September 14</A>, <A title="1752" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1752">1752</A>). Faction Paradox claimed the missing 11 days as their base (even though, logically, only the numbering scheme changed and no days were actually "missing").</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1A07DFDD-8433-4DE8-A8B7-7C0D39EEEAF9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
