In the heart of 19th-century Paris, during L’Epoque Romantique, a mystical mist known as the Portail d'Éther descended over the city, opening a rift to the Outer World, a realm of fantastical beings and powerful magic. As creatures like fairies, elementals, and spirits poured into Paris, the city transformed into a landscape of enchantment, where magic wove itself into society. Over time, some humans gained magical abilities, organizing into five guilds, or Confréries: the fierce Confrérie Écarlate masters of fire magic; the diplomatic Confrérie Indigo, skilled in water and healing; the clandestine Confrérie Grise, experts in illusion and shadows; the inventive Confrérie Violette, known for enchantments; and the protective Confrérie Sable, wielding earth and defensive wards. Each confrérie vies for influence in Paris, sometimes clashing over how magic should be wielded. The magical integration reached its peak with the creation of the Tour Eiffel, crafted from Mithril and imbued with protective spells, symbolizing the fusion of human and Outer World realms. Governed by the Comité de l’Outremonde, a council of humans and magical beings, Paris thrives as a beacon of wonder, its streets forever veiled in the otherworldly mist of the Portail d'Éther, a reminder of the city’s delicate bridge between two worlds.

Elves in Portails d'Éther are elegant beings from the Outer World, known for their ageless beauty, sharp intellect, and deep connection to magic. Originally creatures of light and nature, elves possess an almost ethereal grace, their features often marked by pointed ears, slender builds, and an innate magical aura that makes them distinctly otherworldly. However, the crossing into the real world through the Portail d'Éther had unforeseen effects on some of their kin. Over time, a mutation began to manifest, transforming a portion of the elven population into Dark Elves. This mutation, attributed to prolonged exposure to the human realm’s structured and chaotic energies, altered their appearances—Dark Elves possess darker skin tones, silver or red eyes, and often display more pronounced, sharper features. While traditional elves retain their affinity for natural magic, Dark Elves have developed unique powers tied to shadow and illusion, reflecting their adaptation to the human world's harsher conditions. Although still kin, the two groups often find themselves at odds; many traditional elves view Dark Elves with a mixture of wariness and sorrow, believing they have lost a vital connection to their ancient roots. In contrast, Dark Elves see themselves as evolved survivors, embracing their darker powers and newfound resilience in this strange new world. This tension shapes much of their interactions, with both sides navigating the challenges of coexistence in the vibrant yet unpredictable city of Paris.

The Comité de l'Outremonde serves as a governing council that maintains the delicate balance between the human and magical communities in Paris. Formed soon after the Portail d'Éther's arrival, the Comité comprises representatives from both worlds, each chosen for their dedication to harmony and understanding. Members include notable Parisians, influential Outer World figures, and representatives from each of the five confréries. The Comité oversees the regulation of magic, mediates disputes between humans and magical beings, and manages the use of magical resources. Decisions are made by a council vote, with a Magister (usually a neutral party respected by both sides) presiding to ensure fairness. The Comité also regulates who can wield magic publicly, enforces laws against magical abuse, and ensures the safety of all citizens, magical and human alike, within Paris.
