 Wonderland used to be, for the most part, a harmless place. It was filled with nothing but nonsense and silly things, and its only outside visitor at the time, young Alice Liddell, visited often and shaped much of Wonderland with her active imagination. But, bored with the limited activities a girl was allowed to do in 1867 (making Alice herself 15 years old), she decided to become a permanent member of Wonderland's society. She simply...did not go back.
Time passed in the outside world like it normally does. Years go by with effect. But in Wonderland, years may go by, yes, but much, much slower than in our world. Almost 150 years have passed for the inhabitants of Earth, but less than five have passed for Wonderland.
Wonderland has changed in those four years.
And not for the better.
The Queen of Hearts, once little more than a nuisance to Wonderland, has become a dangerous and cynical dictator, closing an iron fist tight over all of Wonderland. Freedom is now a thing of the past, and the peace loving (and always a bit insane) Wonderlanders are forced to do her bidding, whatever that may be.
The few Wonderlanders who have the guts to stand up to the Queen (or at least avoid her all together) are all being hunted down by the Card Guards and assassins under the Queen's hire. Alice is at the head of the tiny rebel army, and she's a lot more ferocious as both a leader and a fighter than anyone could expect a girl of her origins to be.
But recently, Alice has gone missing.
And rumors have spread that the Jabberwock, the terrifying beast with teeth that bite and claws that catch, is back in Wonderland. Alive and well and hungry.
And this is where you come in. You've just arrived in Wonderland via a weird mirror or a puddle you felt like splashing in that happened to be a portal. Do you wish to help the rebels in their search for Alice so the Queen may be beaten? Or do you want to join the Queen's powerful side and help destroy Alice's rebels? Your choice.
Or, perhaps you are already a Wonderlander. Be you a talking bird or a human? Are you in the Queen's army or Alice's?
Once again, it's your choice. Just be careful out there in Wonderland. It's a lot more dangerous than it used to be.
