Origin[]
Jane Austen (December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century.
Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism.
Effects[]
When a person enters the carriage, the artifact acts like a portal to a version of 18th century, England. While not actually enabling the victim to travel through time, the carriage does faithfully recreate the time period in inter-dimensional space, like it's own pocket universe.
Time seems to not progress and in a constant cultural lock, where no technological advancements are ever made.
Unfortunately, there are no exits upon entering the carriage, once the door to the carriage closes, it never will open again, unless someone else opens it from the outside.
