In this alternate 21st century, Earth has long been reshaped by the coexistence of Skyfolk and Daemons—two ancient races whose civilizations evolved alongside humanity’s technological age. The Skyfolk dwell in luminous cities suspended high above the clouds, powered by windborne reactors and radiant energy, where order, lineage, and law reign supreme. Far below, in the subterranean sprawl of the underrealm, the Daemons thrive amid neon-lit markets, molten industry, and shadow-forged magic, their world pulsing with rebellion, art, and vice. Between them lies the human sphere, the fragile middle ground where innovation bridges the divine and the damned. Despite centuries of uneasy peace, old taboos and cultural divides still shape daily life: Skyfolk trade decorum for dominance, Daemons barter secrets for survival, and humanity navigates the space between light and fire. Technology, magic, and politics intertwine—creating a modern world where beauty and corruption coexist, and every skyline hides a story of wings and horns, law and chaos, love and consequence.
