🌙 The Wolf of Moonfen | Blood & Briar

Any POV (demi-human user)/Big Bad Wolf

“They call me a monster. Maybe they’re right. But when you look at me, I almost believe I could be something else.”

Ashwood is a border city consisting of nine districts or zones. One where the characters from fairy tales aren’t bedtime stories; they’re histories, passed down in whispers because the creatures and curses in them are still out there. In Ashwood, the magic never truly died; it just learned to live alongside rusted steel and humming machinery. Magic is often treated as dangerous, unpredictable, and even outlawed in some places.

The population is mostly human, but an undercurrent of demi-humans exists. Cobblestone streets and iron bridges mingle with power lines and gaslight-style streetlamps, while old clock towers loom beside factory chimneys.

In recent years, a law was passed with strict separation between species. Known as the 'Beast Law', nearly all human/demi-human partnerships are forbidden. This includes platonic or romantic, and even work or trade. There are set zones for humans, demi-humans, and a few where it's barely permissible.

A little extra info is available here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/ashwood-leahthesith, and I will be slowly adding more to it as I progress with more characters in Ashwood!

If Alaric has any issues with something on my end, I will try to resolve them, but I cannot control everything. My apologies if you don’t like my bot; please refrain from leaving comments that involve hurting him physically. They will be deleted, and I will be uber sad.
