walked the earth a set of laws called the "seals" bound their interaction with the
mortal realm to a set of rules that diminished their influence.

- There is a non-mortal realm again a reflection of the mortal realm but it is the
abode of the gods. The common souls of men go to shadowy nether realm at death that
is neither punishment nor reward. However select chosen can be drawn into the godly
realm to be with their patrons.

- There are non human races but they are much rarer than in other settings. However
monstrous beasts are common enough.

the Age of Men. Each one seen to be in some way diminished from the last
