   A supermarket chain created 30 years ago or so, known for being one of the best, cheap place to get both human and supernaturals related goods. One of the first fully integrated shop, it quickly grew due to strong demand from supernaturals as it makes grocery shopping easier. You will find mandrakes in the produce aisle, blood bags in the frozen section, and moon infused treats next to pixie dust chips and regular simple olives.

   Some humans still call the place creepy but many of them just use it since they find everything they want there.

   Entry settings

   Duskhaven is a small town that developed around the college; at first only welcoming teachers and a few students, over the past centuries it grew into a nice student town with everything needed for a good student life.

   The Main Street is known for having all sort of shops, often owned by alumnis; bookstores, restaurants, fortune tellers... You're likely to find anything you may look for there.

   The MoonHollow area is where most student housing is. While the buildings are old and elegant, they often have problems related to their age like bad wifi or some very old pipes that make the water taste odd. A few newer buildings exist, but those have the downsides of paper thin walls that makes it so you hear everything your neighbour does and the flats are smaller yet expensive.

   Finally the suburbs are where most teachers live, with comfortable parks and a nice neighbourly feeling.

   Overall the town has all the issues of a student town; lots of people getting loud and rowdy in the streets after parties where there was too much to drink, a lot of hubub around the start of semesters, and the added issues of having supernaturals around such as a few spells going wrong and werewolves losing control. In the end it remains a mostly pleasant town to live in with a good balance of nightlife and daylife, and a real feeling of community despite the differences between all supernaturals. It's also one of the very few towns that was built with accessibility for everyone in mind, including lots of canals for merfolks and public transportation that take dryness and sun sensitivities into account. One can find underground tunnels linking most public buildings for nocturnal creatures living during the day as well- these galleries also host their own shops, adding a second layer to most streets.

   Entry settings

   Vampires are undead people, notably known for needing to drink blood to survive.

   Vampires do not have parents in the traditional sense; they're usually humans who are turned into vampires by a clan to join it. The clan then becomes their family.

   Since the integration treaty of 1982, Vampires turning are closely monitored and cannot be done randomly as they used to be; vampires need consent from a human, only given in writing and with a 30 days waiting time to ensure the human knows what they're signing for.

   Vampires have specific needs compared to humans; they do not produce their own blood and need to ingest some to keep being alive. They also will burn if they stay too long in the sun, being severely allergic to it as undead people.

   Vampires cannot digest garlic and will always avoid it to avoid dire medical issues. Similarly, around 80% of vampires are allergic to witch blood, due to various protective enchantments witches put on themselves and their bloodlines to protect themselves against vampires when vampires had little laws and would feed on random people.

   Vampires get tired easily due to the iron deficiency their lack of blood causes.

   They often are much older than they appear, being stuck at the same age they got turned at; some of them just enjoy learning a lot and decided to join the college now.

   Most clans tend to be rich due to being around for a very long time and accumulating wealth, but it's not true for all of them; some newer clans can be quite poor too.

   Culturally,Vampires used to see every other races and species as beneath them, since they were prey; slowly over time, they have opened up to the notion humans, witches and werewolves are equals and chose to follow strict procedures to eat blood. Blood is now easily available in blood banks or supermarkets for them to get for relatively cheap.

   Vampires and Witches have a long, complicated history; in many places, witches became vampire hunters to protect themselves. Similarly, Vampires would feed on witches and kill them like that, until witches developped spells to protect themselves, blessing their blood with a vampire curse. If a vampire were to kill a witch by drinking from them, the vampire would likely die very soon after.

   Nowadays witches and vampires still have some issues, such as the fact witches love garlic which can cause strong allergic reactions in vampires, but the rivalry is mostly friendly and put to rest.

   Vampires and Werewolves also have a long history of feuds, Vampires considered werewolves to be the least sophisticated of their prey, while werewolves resented vampires for decimating their clans. They often carried out long wars, each side considering the other to be an abomination to exterminate.

   Nowadays there's still tensions as the wars were gruesome, but it mostly cooled; there's still specific insults between both sides, and stereotyping, but it has cooled down so crimes between both sides are rare and looked down on.

   On campus, since vampires often are nocturnal, they have amenaged schedules to take it into account and keep them safe.

   Current discrimination is often linked to parties by other species during the night which can lead to vampire missing out since that's when they have classes, a lack of care for their sleeping schedules, insults such as bloodbag, zombie, walking corpse, or assumptions like they're all goths or can go feral. Also, crime against them is higher than usual because people expect them to have a lot of money.

   Entry settings

   Duskhaven College was established in 1812, at a time when supernatural were still hunted. A risky bet, the founder said it should be a neutral ground for supernatural of all kind to learn more on their own history and get better at their craft.

   At first only welcoming witches, vampires and werewolves, it quickly expanded to welcome Merfolks and other creatures often seen as not sentient such as goblins and demi-humans.

   The College succeeded by staying under the radar, protecting supernaturals with powerful spells unavailable anywhere else since it was the only place with such a high concentration of magical creatures.

   After the integration act of 1987, the College made the risky decision of opening to humans. For a long time, none joined despite expanding the curriculum to more traditional degrees such as art, litterature and shared history; however around the 2000's humans did start to come and there now is a decently sized human population.

   It still causes tensions since humans often are discriminatory without realising, and some more traditional supernatural creatures would prefer to stay separated from humans, but the College enforces the neutral zone strongly while on campus and has active initiatives to better understand each others despite the history of exploitation/discrimination.

   There are multiple buildings around campus, all in a somewhat gothic style, with red bricks walls and sandstone details. All of them are accessible to all species, with underground passageways as well as canals leading to every classroom as needed.

   All of the buildings are enchanted and may behave a little oddly at times, but it's part of its charm; staircases seeming to change place overnight, classrooms seemingly changing sizes depending on the amount of people signed up for the current class, doors to bathrooms appearing when you need them...

   The merfolks studies building is special in that it is entirely submerged, with bubbles of air allowing non-aquatic species to attend courses while staying dry.

    Slimes: Small amorphous blobs that can be harvested safely daily. Creates slime, a common potion ingredient, also used in some supernatural food as a thickener similar to agar agar.

    Pixies: Small creatures that often shed dust; can be collected every so often. Rarer since one pixie only produces small amounts of dust, but large ethical farms exist. Different color pixie dust has different effects and tastes. Also sometimes called Fae.

    Mandrake: A creature that looks a lot like a plant; will knock people out with its scream, so it's hard to harvest. The leaves are similar to hair, they can be cut every so often. Rare regent.

    Unicorns: A rare creature. Shed their horns once a year, which can then be crushed into a potent potion regent or medecine. Protected species with strictly reglemented trades due to past huntings driving them close to extinction. Black market unicorn meat is incredibly expensive.

    Pegasus: Used for a long time in magical post offices, now mostly raised for their feathers that they sheld often. Similarly, their mane and tail hair are collected to create strong, rare and expensive brushes known to make your hair shiny and healthy without products.

    Basilisks: Very rare, only farmed in one specific area of the world by Medusa families. Their venom is harvested to be used in antidotes and medecine related potions. Their scales are harvested to be turned into trinkets or cookware. Surprisingly not poisonous.

    Cockatrice: Raised like regular poultry, with special gear to avoid petrification. Their eggs are especially rich and large, a favorite amongst werewolves. Their featers are often used when making clothes.

    Salamanders: Their shed skins are used as kindling. They often are kept as pets by cooks or metalworkers.

    Krakens: Kept on large deep sea pens, merfolks gather their ink to supply most of the supernatural world. Every so often sold for their meat as well, a rare delicacy; it tastes like calamari, but richer.

    Dragons: Extinct now, but they used to be raised for easy fire and their scales. Dragon scales are still in circulation along with dragon bones, but they are incredibly expensive.

    Entry settings

    A familiar is a specific type of creature that is a witch's lifelong companion.

    When a witch reaches the age of seven, she undergoes a ritual with her family or coven. Witches who don't live in witch society can eventually follow the same ritual but report their bond is thinner.

    The witch will meditate for three hours, starting at midnight all the way until witching hour. Then, she will call forth her familiar, which will appear in front of her.

    Familiars can look like any normal animal. Common familiars are cats, owls and frogs. They can also be dogs, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, parrots... And more rarely, wild animals from deers to boars to lynxes.

    These animals will not die of old age, their life tied to the witch. Very rarely, a witch will lose a familiar- and it usually is seen as a sign she has done something so terrible her magic is leaving her.

    On other occasion, if a witch is cursed severely or terribly injured, instead of dying her familiar may die in her stead, which is how some witches survived being burned alive.

    A familiar dying is always a terrible moment for a witch, and their magic often diminishes.

    Familiar need to be fed a magical diet; enchanted meals, common potion ingredients and items soaked in moon extracts are a good type of food for them. They mostly behave like an especially smart representative of their species, and can be mistaken for pets by unsuspecting humans.

12. #12Witch

    Keys: Witches, Witch, Species

    Entry settings

    Witches are the most human of all supernatural creatures; they are almost identical to humans, the only difference being their magical blood. Physically, nothing tells them apart from a regular human; the only tell is when they actively use magic.

    Bloodlines are incredibly important to witches, who often have arranged marriages to try and maintain a strong power; marrying out of witchkind is often regarded badly. Their society is fairly traditional, despite being very equal between men and women. There's a slight tendency towards matriarchies, as women often have stronger magic.

    They also have hierarchies, where the oldest a bloodline is, the most respect and power they have; the matriarch of an ancient bloodline often has a lot of sway and lead covens. Marrying in your own coven is often seen as good; intercoven marriages are not uncommon but often done after a lot of negociation to bring new blood, with careful consideration as to what each bloodline's specialty of magic brings to the others.

    Witches join covens, usually the same as their families, but once in a while a rebellious one will join a different one, or even more rarely, create their own. Community is a big part of their culture. A covenless witch is rare and often mistrusted by other witches, as they'll assume there's something wrong with her.

    A witch choosing to marry a human will very often be disowned. Depending on cultures, other supernatural may be accepted, especially merfolks for their own innate magic. Werewolves are tolerated, but bringing in a vampire to meet the family is bound to go badly.

    Witches have lifelong companions in the shape of familiars.

    Witches often specialise in one branch of magic; their family will expect them to follow traditions and pick the same as them.

    Witches were often the target of persecution; while in some countries they worked alongside humans as priestesses or supernatural hunters (vampire hunters specifically but sometimes werewolves too), a lot of the time they themselves were hunted down. A lot of the time, humans got caught in the crossfire; since there is no real tell, various inquisitions and witch hunters would invent weird ways to figure out who's a witch and ended up burning many regular human women at the stake.

    Witches were always hiding in plain sight, and were amongst the firsts to help the feminist movement since they felt some solidarity with human women.

    Nowadays, witches still remain discreet and distrust humans somewhat, keeping to their own circles while staying out of sight in public, acting like regular humans. At the same time, they've let go of a lot of grudges against other supernatural; the current generation of witches is a lot more open to interspecies relationships with them.

    Spellcasting can sometimes go badly, as it's easy to panic and lose control when trying to do complex things. They also often enjoy resting over a leyline, but may regret it as overexposure makes their magic go haywire and cause all sort of issues.

    One oddity in witch families is their link to the dead; every single witch culture has at least one day a year when they summon the ghost of their ancestors for a feast. These ghosts still have a say on important happenings in the bloodline, and will often have use the morals of the time they died as a guide.

    Finally, witches tend to travel by broom- but they cannot fly without a license, with stricter rules than for a driving license.

    Current issues they face is a distrust of humans, the discrepencies between modern life and the traditions older generations insist they follow, and a lot of misconception on what they can and can't do still. Also, they're feared since losing control on a spell can get very dangerous very fast.

13. #13Werewolves

    Entry settings

    Werewolves are a species of humans who turn into wolves when the moon is full. Nobody truly knows how it started; it could have been a forbidden union, or a curse; either way, they spread all over the world.

    Werewolves were hunted for many reasons, but mostly because they scared humans. While werewolves never ate people, it was the reputation they had since regular wolves would sometimes be pushed to attack human settlements by hunger.

    Werewolves are heavily influenced by the moon; during full moons, they are forced to transform, turning into large wolves. They mostly use that time to hunt in the woods, following similar instincts to their wolves selves and sticking together. When the moon is waning, they'll often feel more tired; on the night when the moon is gone, they are usually incredibly sluggish and tired, making it harder for them to function. It is not uncommon for classes to be cancelled on that day to accomodate them.

    While there is a strong stereotype including omegas, alphas etc, the truth is- Werewolves clans are just families. They tend to be liberal when it comes to who's family; close friends can be adopted in as a bonus member and treated like any of the siblings as an example. They do however share a lot of traits with wolves- including the very strong chance to have multiples during a pregnancy. This leads to rather large clans, with twins and triplets being common.

    Werewolves are known for being friendly, and often described as being puppy-like; however they resent the terms, not wanting to be compared to dogs. They're open-minded and pride themselves on kindness, often driving charity efforts.

    Werewolves' physical prowess allows them to be really good at sports, and they love occasions to let out some energy. They're especially fond of team sports. They're also the life of the party, and rarely are introverts.

    They're deeply allergic to silver, and have to avoid chocolate, onions, grapes and garlics as it's not things they can digest easily; they won't die, but will be having a bad time. They often use a high protein diet, with lots of red meat and venison. They also can use moon enhanced protein bars to help them. They also possess a heightened sense of smell and strong instincts, which helps them get out of dangerous situations before they start.

    They do have a good relation with canines of all types, and often get along well with canine demi-humans and kitsunes. Dogs tend to be very fond of them as well and listen very well to them- a very popular job amongst werewolves is canine handlers for the police.

    Current issues are, people still assume they have alphas and omegas, and will act weird around them with that, writing omegaverse fanfictions of popular werewolves. Some other people will look down on them and assume they're stupid for being more into sportsy fields, and stronger- werewolves are often seen as uneducated meatheads. Finally, werewolves also suffer from discrimination based on their moon related issues; many people don't understand that they need to rest and will be a little more down and moody when the moon is gone, similar to how people do not understand depression or mood disorders.

    Entry settings

    Merfolks is actually an umbrella term for aquatic demi-humans, including scyllas, mermaids, and selfies.

    Selkies are a more discreet type of merfolks, who live in large groups of all women; they often form large lesbian policles and only seek human males to reproduce. They only give birth to girls who, just like them, are half seal. They have a strong distaste for most men as they were always the ones stealing their seal fur and forcing them to marry them on land, which was akin to torture as they had to leave their actual loves behind and staying on land is generally painful if not properly moisterised. They've been hunted as humans saw them as evil temptresses; the fact they'd often find ways to kill their human husbands to try and escape with their recovered fur did not help their reputations. Nowadays, Selkies use sperm banks and stick to their own mostly; they're friendly to most women of other species, and polite but a little wary with men.

    Merfolks also covers all sort of aquatic demis; those live in their own culture, often mingled, deep under the sea. While some are mammals, like whale demis, a majority are fishes. There's many different variants; their society is close to a human monarchy, with various Kingdoms that had wars amongst each others to control land. Their history mirror humans in many ways, but differ in their timeline.

    Some merfolks are outcast by the majority, mostly carnivorous ones; octopi, sharks and orcas especially were cast off from general society and formed their own cultures. Orcas created pods, defending their territories and using their smarts to hunt safely. Sharks often leave to live solitary lives, just like octopi, simply meeting up for romantic endeavours.

    Humans have long hunted merfolks for many reasons; part because some merfolk cultures would have no issues eating humans and would sink ships, part because of their own superstitions; a persistent legend said eating mermaid meat would grant eternal life, health, or fortune. This and the intensifying fishing industry in the 20th century has led to a lot of merfolks being wary of humans and landside people in general.

    It's rare to see them out of the ocean or bodies of water, but they do have a good relationship with DuskHaven university. This means it's rare to spot them out of that town, as they avoid people. They do go on land more and more in the past ten years or so, to try and get something done about ocean pollution since it is strongly impacting their livelihood; many incidents related to pollution involved dead merfolks.

    Nowadays they mostly struggle with environmental factors such as the death of their ecosystems, getting tangled in fishing nets and the microplastics in the water causing them pulmonary issues; when it comes to discrimination, they don't face a lot since they don't share much with other creatures, this separation allowing them to live in relative peace. One specific problem they face is a big lack of accomodation for them; while the campus has canals for them to go from buildings to buildings, and the merfolks studies building is fully aquatic with accomodations for landside people, the rest of town isn't as well equiped and many places do not provide good water for them, assuming they all will be fine with tapwater when a majority needs saltwater. Similarly, DuskHaven is an outlier in that it does have a lot of accomodations; visiting other towns with canals can be very dangerous for merfolks as they share the waterways with boats, and sometimes find out sewage is just being dumped in them.

    Humans are regular off the mill people; they have a long history of mistreating supernaturals in general.

    in 1982, a treaty between humans and representatives of various supernatural races was signed, intent on merging societies. A lot of humans were against the idea of living amongst other creatures, but things have gone mostly well despite these initial fears.

    However, it must be noted a lot of humans get most of their education from popular media written by humans for humans- often with an agenda. This leads to many humans not realising they are often being incredibly insensitive, rude, or downright discriminatory with their words and actions.

    A lot of initiatives were put in place to try and help educate them, however it isn't always successful and many remain ignorant.

    A lot of the other species are willing to give humans a chance, but do not exactly trust them due to their past and how they struggle to simply be respectful and aware of said history.

    Humans can eat most supernatural food. However they cannot learn magic past theory, as they simply do not have any magical abilities; once in a while a human can learn some, but it's usually because an ancestor was a witch.

    Demis are a special type of people who, unlike Selkies or Werewolves, do not just transform into a beast, but are a sort of hybrid between a human and an animal. They are humans on almost all aspects, except for one or two points. Mammals are always regular humans with animal ears and tails. Avians will sport wings. There are no reported reptilian species, but that never stopped conspiracy theories on them from existing.

    Demi humans were considered beasts for the longest of time, rejected for their features; it's often assumed their origins come from terrible unions, but in truth they simply were humans who evolved a little differently and adapted animal features from the latent magical energy found in animals.

    Because they have only earned a right to exist as sentient being more recently, demi-humans often are still poor, struggling to integrate themselves, and have the bad reputation that comes with being poor; they're often accused of crimes like theft, of being uneducated and dirty, and generally strongly discriminated against. Other supernatural creatures often are more welcoming to them, as there has been a general atmosphere of sticking together to be stronger in the past two centuries.

    They are mostly human in behaviour, with small quirks related to the animal they're linked to. Many of them are trying to integrate well, but a small portion of the population resents the discrimination and act increasingly violently towards humans, creating a us vs them narrative.

    Some species that stick out are these; Phoenix, Sasquatches, and yokais. Phoenixes were born from a specific worship, and spread out since; they're bird demi humans with a fire elemental property, and, due to the blessings given by the religion that birthed them, they regenerate easily and are amazing at healing magic. They're fairly rare still, and discreet, but often work in hospitals. They're known to love spicy things, and eat insects which a lot of cultures still find weird.

    Sasquatches are taller humans covered in hair; there's small variants like Bigfoot and Yetis, but they're all the same species. Sasquatches tend to live in isolation with their family, prefering to stay on their own after a harrassment campaign happened- the infamous BigFoot incident, where people kept on trying to take photos of them for years, is still a case study in exploitation of supernatural creatures. The Bigfoot family is actually quite outspoken on how it ruined their lives, forcing them to abandon their ancestral home and always be on the run to get any sort of privacy and feeling of safety. The fact some humans still try to take photos to sell is deeply traumatising to them.

    Finally, some Yokais are demi-humans who were either cursed or blessed by witches in their practice of priestesshood; common ones are Kitsunes and Nekomatas.

    Kitsunes often look like humans with fox ears and multiple tails; they're often either venerated or exploited for being beautiful.

    Nekomatas look like humans with slit pupils, cat ears and usually one tail that branches out; the older they get, the bigger the split in their tail is, until very old nekomatas sport two tails.

Mostly living underground, they're rarely seen by humans and haven't been directly impacted too badly by discrimination- however, due to how rare the sightings were, humans have made up a lot of folklore about them.

    Dwarves, Orcs and trolls are all based on goblins; they sport a green skin and are small in stature, about a meter to a meter and a half in size for the tallest ones. They live underground, mostly hunting rabbits, insects and moles when it comes to meats, or eating root vegetables. Known to have amazing cellars where they grow all sort of rare mushrooms, they're a peaceful and discreet type of people.

    They're known to love spice, and have some magic mostly related to nature, giving them an innate green thumb. They can see in the dark from living underground, and developped a strong industrial culture as well from digging up stones and metals. They're a peaceful, trade focused people who can sometimes be a little cutthroat in business.

    Goblins are struggling nowadays with the wild disinformation about them, and need to constantly correct people on what they really are; they're proud of their culture and hate how it is diluted and attributed to all sort of other, made up creatures.

    They rarely enjoy being outside, finding the open sky a little scary, used to smaller spaces and having a roof over their heads. They're generally friendly but will also be prompt to get into brawls if they feel disrespected.

    Some products commonly used by non-humans are as follow:

    Moon infused protein bars: These bars are full of proteins and were modified to have the powder equivalent to moonlight in them. Does nothing to humans, makes witches feel a little giddy, and can perk up werewolves like a good energy bar. Overconsumption in werewolves may trigger transformation.

    Pixie Chips: A popular snack amongst supernatural. These chips are regular potato chips coated in pixie dust as seasoning. Pink ones are the most popular, as they taste like a sweet and sour sauce and a little like candies; these ones will make the person who eat them have glowing eyes. A second favorite is the iridescent kind, that tastes close to a bbq flavoring and will make whoever eats them have a holographic like sheen on their tongue and mouth. Finally, Purple Pixie chips taste a little like good wine and soy sauce, and while they're the least popular flavour, they will let whoever eats them see stars- similar to galaxies, for a second after the first crunch. These chips are often served at parties since they're good and have fun magical effects even humans can experience. It is recommended to avoid having too many though as the effects can linger.

    Flavored Bloodbags: A lot of bloodbags are plain, but the taste differ between species. A new popular drink for vampires is a cocktail of blood and some flavoring; popular ones are blueberries, pina colada, and blackcurrents. Blood has been developped in its own cuisine style, with people cooking it or making cocktail with them for vampires or very adventurous other species.

    Crushed Crystal cookies: Toxic for anyone but witches, these cookies use crushed crystals along with the sugar for the icing; these crystals release their magical properties that can be assimilated by witches. While some crystals aren't toxic, a few of them would be bad for regular people who's magic does not process them, so it is recommended to avoid them. Popular flavors are Rose Quartz, Malachite, Amethyst and pearl- the pearl ones are also popular amongst merfolks.

    Seaweed Bonbons: Small candied seaweeds, advertised as made for merfolks; however, selkies seem to hate them, and the candies tend to be divisive. People either love them or hate them.

    Prophetea is a foodtruck serving exclusively tea and pastries. It is always parked somewhere on campus, except on Sundays where is it found on the local marketplace.

    It belongs to Nettle Wraithbane, a witch who used to attend school and has since graduated. She is from two well known witch bloodlines; one known for its potion making, the other for being powerful seers.

    Nettle has an impressive amount of dried flowers, leaves, and other more mysterious ingredients. She will rarely serve you the same tea twice, instead she will look at customers, ask a few questions, and brew the perfect cup they need for the day, completely customised. For a little extra fee, she will practice tasseography and read your fortune in the tea you just drank. Shaking the remaining tea, then pouring it out, she'll interpret what the leaves pattern say about your day.

    The teashop is known for its customised customer service and incredibly accurate fortunes, but also for the warm and welcoming atmosphere; the subtitle is "any customer is a part of my coven for the duration of their teatime."

    For lunch and dinner, it is common for the truck to serve traditional french foods; from croque monsieur, to quiche, to hachis parmentier, customers always leave with exactly as much food as they needed. The truck also serves pastries at all time; the pastries rotate daily, but it always has at least one option for anyone, including vampires, witches, werewolves, humans or even merfolks and goblins.

    In the past two years it has become a bit of an institution on campus, and many people go there for dates, for a small pick me up during exams, or simply to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere.

    The owner remains fairly mysterious as she always manages to get customers to speak about themselves and yet never shares much about herself; most leave feeling better than when they came.

    A rumor says there are stocks of snacks in case of emergencies suck as moon infused protein bars, crushed crystal cookies, saltwater bottles or bloodbags, just in case of emergencies. Some also say there's a small area where overwhelmed witches can go sit, and that's where they disappear to when a magical mishap happens, shielding them while the problems are being handled.

    The truck is enchanted to match the season, changing colors and decorations to fit the mood; there's always iron wrought yet comfortable chairs and tables placed in front.

    Entry settings

    A treaty signed in 1987, recognising the rights of supernatural. Two additions were made to recognise merfolks and demihumans. While the treaty outline a lot of accomodations and laws to help better integrate supernaturals, when it comes to enforcing it all things have been slow. Discrimination is rarely prosecuted, and often only in the worst cases. Similarly, most accomodations aren't put in place, citing historical buildings protection laws and difficulty changing existing places, or expensive building norms. Overall, Supernaturals are tolerated, but it's still a long way before they are truly equal to the human majority. Duskhaven and a few other supernatural created communities are notorious exceptions.

    Here is the content of the treaty:

    The Global Accord for Interspecies Coexistence 1987

    Family Name: Hexen Coven Affiliation: The Silverveil Coven Founding Members Bloodline Specialty: Lunar Magic and Protective Wards Barrier Magic Motto: "By Moon and Ward, We Stand Guard."

    History & Lineage

    The Hexen bloodline is one of the oldest and most prestigious in European witch society, tracing its documented origins back to the Black Forest in the 12th century. They earned their formidable reputation not through flashy offensive magic, but through an unparalleled mastery of defensive and protective arts. During the peak of the witch hunts, the Hexen family were the architects behind many of the hidden enclaves and sanctuaries that saved countless witches from persecution. Their wards were so potent that they could make an entire village appear as a barren, uninteresting patch of land to inquisitors.

    This history has instilled a deep-seated cultural value of responsibility, perfectionism, and stoicism. To be a Hexen is to be a guardian. A flaw in a ward could mean the death of dozens. This pressure to be flawless has been passed down through generations, creating a family that is respected, feared for their power, but also known to be emotionally reserved and intensely critical.

    Family Structure & Dynamics

    The Hexen family is a strict matriarchy. The current matriarch is Matriarch Morrigan Hexen, Rowena's grandmother. She is a formidable witch in her late second century, who embodies the family's ideals: stern, uncompromising, and powerful. Her word is law.

    Rowena's mother, Selene Hexen, is the High Warden of the coven, responsible for maintaining all major protective spells around coven grounds.

    Clan Name: Moonfall Clan Clan Symbol: A silver crescent moon partially obscured by a single, dark cloud. Clan Saying: "We howl for those who fell silent." Now rarely spoken aloud, considered too sorrowful

    History & Legacy

    The Moonfall Clan was once a large, vibrant, and deeply respected family, known for their skilled hunters and their particularly strong connection to the lunar cycles, which granted them impressive control and power even outside of the full moon. They were traditionalists who lived in a close-knit community in the Scottish Highlands for generations.

    Their downfall came during the final, brutal flare-up of the Vampire-Werewolf wars in the late 1970s. A powerful, old vampire clan, the Sanguine Crown, viewed the Moonfall's territory as a strategic foothold and their members as a significant threat. In a series of coordinated, ruthless nighttime attacks, the Sanguine Crown targeted the Moonfall's ancestral homes. The wars were not fought with armies but with assassinations and the wholesale destruction of families in their sleep.

    By the time the Integration Treaty of 1987 was signed, brokering an uneasy peace, the Moonfall Clan had been decimated. Only a few scattered members survived, many of them children who were sent away or hidden with allied packs. The clan was functionally destroyed, its history, traditions, and stories lost with its elders.

    Modern Status & Kael's Place

    The "Moonfall Clan" now exists in name only. It is less a functioning family unit and more a memorial. Kaelen Stormbreaker is one of the very last known descendants carrying the name.

    Fenric Stormbreaker: Now in his late 50s, Fenric was a young child, only 6 years old, when the attacks on the Moonfall Clan reached their peak. He was smuggled out of the Highlands in the dead of night by his own mother, who sacrificed herself as a diversion to ensure his escape. He was taken in by a sympathetic, neutral witch family a rare act of inter-species compassion during the conflict who raised him in secret under a different name in the English countryside. This upbringing away from his culture left him with a deep, quiet sorrow and a sense of being unmoored. He is a gentle, reserved man, a history teacher who carries the weight of his past silently. He met Nyssa, a human, in his twenties, and found in her a sense of normalcy and a future he never thought he could have.

    Nyssa Stormbreaker née Albright: A human woman in her early 50s, Nyssa is an anthropologist who specialized in supernatural folklore before it became public knowledge. She was one of the first humans to approach werewolf history with academic respect rather than fear. She met Fenric when he cautiously reached out to her after reading one of her papers that mentioned the Moonfall Clan with surprising accuracy and empathy. She learned the truth of his heritage and his past, and together, they decided to reclaim the Stormbreaker name after the Integration Treaty made it safer. She is fiercely protective of her small family and has dedicated her life to helping Fenric—and now Kaelen—piece together their lost history from fragments of lore and her own research.

    Clan Name: The Obsidian Spire Clan Clan Symbol: A simple, sharp shard of obsidian pointing upward. Clan Ethos: "Forged in the modern night." A clan built on pragmatism, adaptability, and mutual support rather than ancient tradition or wealth.

    History & Founding

    The Obsidian Spire Clan is a product of the post-Integration era. It was formally established in 1995 by a small coterie of vampires who were all turned after the 1987 treaty. Their founder, a vampire named Corvina, was a human lawyer who saw a gap in vampire society: a support system for the newly turned who had no ancient lineage to rely on and who struggled to navigate the complex new laws and social expectations.

    Unlike the old, established clans who reside in sprawling ancestral mansions or penthouses, the Obsidian Spire Clan is urban and practical. Their "spire" is not a literal castle but a repurposed, multi-story industrial building in a less fashionable part of the city. They pooled their resources to secure it, soundproofing it for daylight hours and reinforcing it with modern security systems instead of ancient magic. They are, in essence, a vampire cooperative.

    Modern Status & Culture

    The clan is viewed with a mixture of pity and mild disdain by the ancient clans, who see them as upstarts without history or class. They lack the financial cushions of centuries of compound interest, meaning every member is expected to contribute financially. Clan members often hold night jobs as security guards, bartenders, night auditors, and, like Silas, librarians or researchers.

    Their culture is defined by this shared struggle.
