World

Therefore since the world has still
Much good but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure
Luck’s a chance but trouble’s sure,
I’d face it as a wise man would,
And train for ill and not for good.
- A E Houseman

The world of the Lords of Life and Death is our world, but with a few minor changes. Magic is real, vampires are real, weres are real. The legends of mankind have basis in truth and for the past ten years many of those legends have become reality thanks to a were tiger known as Faline whose actions in the small town of Trail (British Columbia, Canada) thrust the entire farce into the open even as she vanished into another dimension fleeing vengeful humans with some other weres. Ever since then, the world has tried to come to grips with this enormity.

So far, its reached a rough stalemate. On the plus side, this incident has done more to heal human racial, political and religious issues than any other in history. On the down side, most of those prejudices are now focuses on the supernatural elements of society. The world remains at a fragile peace, with deaths on both sides being buried by media and governments desperate to prevent a global war.
