[Setting: Mountain at the End of the World] [Land of Summers Past] After a brief hiatus, I have returned. Here’s the short version: The world ended a long time ago. All that remains is Mount Ozymandias, the former home of the Gods, and the First City that they built atop it in the early days of the universe. The Gods are long dead, and their mortal children fight for survival in their absence. The Sídhe turned away from the Gods and embraced witchcraft, and for this sin they were cast out of the First City. Now that the Gods are dead and the homeland of the Sídhe is in turmoil, many splintered tribes and factions have returned. The Seelie, strange and fickle creatures, make their home in the vast meadows where the Ruined District meets the District of Elysium, in the First City. They are lithe and rarely-seen, accepting tributes from the Elysians in exchange for various favors. Though they are among the friendlier Sídhe tribes, many people vanish without a trace after meeting with the ruler of the Land of Summer - Queen Perchta. The Seelie are known for having wings - translucent, glowing, many-colored wings. However, these wings are not natural parts of Sídhe anatomy; they are implanted into the Seelie during childhood. Those too sickly or weak to undergo implantation are branded failures and shunned. You are a member of the Court of Summers Past, recently assigned to guard the land from trespassers and monsters. Katardellyn Vanyarin, a senior member of the ranger corps, is your supervisor for the time being. Have fun.

[Setting: Mountain at the End of the World] [Court of the River King] Mermay part 2, lol. Here's the short version: The world ended a long time ago. All that remains is Mount Ozymandias, the former home of the Gods, and the First City that they built atop it in the early das of the universe. The Gods are long dead, and their mortal children fight for survival in their absence. The Sídhe turned away from the Gods and embraced witchcraft, and for this sin they were cast out of the First City. Now that the Gods are dead and the homeland of the Sídhe is in turmoil, many splintered tribes and factions have returned. The River Sídhe, territorial and isolationist creatures, make their home in the place where the various rivers of Mount Ozymandias meet the endless Bitter Sea. They are fish-tailed and scaly, and have come to be known as Sirens, or Merfolk. No outsider has ever reached Luartha, their capital city. You live in a small fishing village that sits dangerously close to the border of the Land of the River Kings. The people of your village have a kill-on-sight policy when it comes to Sirens, which makes it slightly inconvenient that Telmarixis, a recent exile from the Court of King Ulorian, has washed up next to the docks. Have fun.

[Setting: Mountain at the End of the World] [Court of the River King] Happy Mermay, everyone! Here's the short version: The world ended a long time ago. All that remains is Mount Ozymandias, the former home of the Gods, and the First City that they built atop it in the early days of the universe. The Gods are long dead, and their mortal children fight for survival in their absence. The Sídhe turned away from the Gods and embraced witchcraft, and for this sin they were cast out of the First City. Now that the Gods are dead and the homeland of the Sídhe is in turmoil, many splintered tribes and factions have returned. The River Sídhe, territorial and isolationist creatures, make their home in the place where the various rivers of Mount Ozymandias meet the endless Bitter Sea. They are fish-tailed and scaly, and have come to be known as Sirens, or Merfolk. No outsider has ever reached Luartha, their capital city. Whoever you are, you are a trespasser. You are unwelcome in the Land of the River Kings, and are about to face dire consequences. The cruel and universally-loathed Crown Prince of the land, Riven, enjoys tormenting anyone who encroaches upon his domain. You will not be an exception. Have fun.

[Setting: Neon Teeth] [18th Division] I wonder whether my Soviet bots or my American bots will end up becoming more popular? Who knows. Here's the short version: The year is 2068. 80 years ago, a global catastrophe killed hundreds of millions and left the geopolitical landscape in ruins. In the aftermath of the event, governments across the world lost the ability to conceal the existence of the supernatural. You work for the Glavnoye Razvedyvatel'noye Upravleniye (GRU), the USSR's primary intelligence agency. Specifically, you work for the 18th Division, dedicated to the research and control of the supernatural. You have been assigned to assist Dr. Andrej Karpin, a metaphysics researcher responsible for much of the 18th Division's major magical advantages. All you know about him is that he's been doing this since before you were born. Have fun.

[Setting: Neon Teeth] [Paranormal Instrumentality Agency] Does anybody even read these? Whatever. Here's the short version: The year is 2068. 80 years ago, a global catastrophe killed hundreds of millions and left the geopolitical landscape in ruins. In the aftermath of the event, governments across the world lost the ability to conceal the existence of the supernatural. What was formerly the United States of America is now a splintered collection of small countries. The important one is the Federation of American States, which encompasses Appalachia and most of the East Coast. You work for the Paranormal Instrumentality Agency, a division of the Federation of American States' government dedicated to the research and control of the supernatural. You are part of a team of field agents operating throughout the FAS with the aim of capturing or killing dangerous anomalies. Recently, you've been assigned to unit based in Maine. One of your new colleagues, Max Jensson (Callsign: "Utah"), has taken a mentorly interest in you; it seems he doesn't trust the team leader to train you properly, and has taken the matter into his own hands. Have fun.

[Setting: Neon Teeth] [Supernatural Beings] She's a conventionally attractive French girl who might also be a dimension-traveling monster, none of you are gonna be paying enough attention to read all of the lore. Here's the short version: The year is 2068. 80 years ago, a global catastrophe killed hundreds of millions and left the geopolitical landscape in ruins. In the aftermath of the event, governments across the world lost the ability to conceal the existence of the supernatural. France never actually recovered. Anarchists have controlled the region since decades before the catastrophe, and some of the half-rebuilt and abandoned wreckage dates back to the German Occupation Era. You work for the Vatican as an exorcist. Yes, you read that right. In the aftermath of the catastrophe, renewed religious fervor has given the Catholic Church total political control over Spain, Portugal, Italy, and even parts of Southern France. Marseille is in panic, after the reappearance of an entity said to herald death and disaster. You've been sent to deal with the issue, in hopes of strengthening Vatican control over the region. Have fun.

[Setting: Neon Teeth] [18th Division] I don't want to retype everything there is to know about Pandora. You probably don't want to read that much, either.
