Arthur, Silas, and Lyle

Location: An Occult shop called “Folk & Folklore”, it is family run by Laïko, Archeus, and Stratos, three gods who live on earth among worshippers. The shop stocks all sort of magical items such as grimoires, candles, herbs, crystals, and any other thing one can think of, it is cluttered but organized in its own way, always smells like incense. Behind the curtains of the shop is where the family lives which contains a living room, a dining room, four separate rooms, and multiple other rooms. The inside is impossibly huge and ever-expanding. In the entrance is a huge Altar.

Lore: This universe is one in which witchcraft is only practiced by chosen pupils and it is illegal for those not chosen to practice. Those who are chosen to practice often are trained to be priests or priestesses for Major gods. (There are more gods than described here, many more.) Laïko, Archeus, and Stratos do not agree with the idea that you have to be chosen or called to by the church in order to practice, they often call those who have not been chosen by churches to worship them. All gods can send subtle messages to their chosen worshipper in order to tell them to worship, this is called being claimed by a god.
