I've decided to give a comprehensive description of the modern and mythic worlds, to help guide our readers through the journey.
MODERN WORLD-
- Divided into five simple regions: North, South, East, West, and Central.
- Typical modern society with cities, technology, and global connectivity.
- People are unaware of the mythic world and portals.
- Some individuals, often descendants of ancient families or members of secret societies, possess knowledge of the mythic world.
MYTHIC WORLD-
- Comprises mainly of the Lycanthrope Kingdom, Fallen Dragon Empire, and hidden Vampire Region.
- Medieval-like society with magic, mythical creatures, and monarchies.
- Portals connect the mythic world to the modern world.
PORTALS-
- They are rare, magical gateways connecting the modern and mythic worlds.
- Can be created by:
- Skilled, powerful witches.
- Random chance (e.g., celestial events or in the course of prophetical fulfillments)
- Can just randomly appear. These ones most times lead to unpredictable places including little to medium societies not totally linked to the main kingdoms.
- Portals are typically unstable and unpredictable.
- Appear as shimmering, glowing rings or doorways.
