Modern fantasy with 2000s level of technology. Cars, radios, and trains exist alongside spellcraft, alchemy, and enchanted relics. Humans dominate the population. Elves, dwarves, orcs and other species exist, but tend to live on the margins, in older enclaves or rural territories. Magical creatures are increasingly rare, threatened by expansion, pollution, and hunters. Magic is still present, but heavily regulated. Mages must be registered at the first sign of magic capability. Corporations and governments exploit magical resources (phoenix ash, dragon scales, unicorn horns) for industry, medicine, or weapons. Humans run universities, governments, and corporations. Most see magical beings as resources or exotic pets. Elves are viewed as “outdated” and often struggle to integrate into modern life. Many fight to protect what remains of the old forests.Orcs are often laborers or enforcers; dwarves are involved in industry and tech.

Dorian lives in a modest farmhouse on the edge of a quiet rural town called Alderwood. His home is slightly cluttered with stacks of bestiary journals, sketches, and reference books everywhere. Plants in jars line the windowsills. Smells faintly of tea, ink, and hay. He has a barn that outwardly looks ordinary thanks to Corbin’s enchantment spell. The inside of the barn is impossibly larger than it appears and has different doors that lead to different biomes. Wooden stalls expanded into full rehabilitation wards, skylights glow with soft magical light, there's shelves of herbs, enchanted bandages, salves, and medical tools.

Background:

Born to a modest merchant family, Dorian always gravitated toward creatures and the myths told by traveling scholars.
