A.R. GUIDEBOOK

GROUP INFORMATION

Abstract Reality is a massive world with many groups, often labeled as 'societies'. Some groups are official, meaning they have boards and are recognized here in this guide. Others are unofficial, created and run by members, but with activity and dedication, they may be awarded official status. All of the following groups are open for you to have a character join, if you wish!

SANCTUARY

Sanctuary is a land that is just like earth, where magic and the supernatural are what they see in books and in movies; they do not exist in reality. The Sanctuary Authorities, however, are away of what lies beyond the ocean borders of their massive continent, as they hunt down anything unnatural that infiltrates their land, brainwash the local witnesses, and work to destroy what cannot be explained. Only humans without powers are formally accepted, but that does not mean you cannot have someone pretending to be human or hiding their powers!

EDEN

Eden exists within the borders of the continent of Sanctuary, but is a small organization that is aware of the existence of magic, fiction, and myths, as they fight to overthrow the supreme Sanctuary Authorities. Most of the members are humans with their own abilities, or nonhuman beings seeking safety and refuge from the ever so vigilant Authorities.

NECROPOLIS

Necropolis can be found not in the physical realm, but in the astral planes - the spiritual world. It is a land of those with tainted souls, who are out to influence and dominate the cosmos with their chaos. Only the strong will live, and the weak will die. Their realm takes the form of a dark and somewhat frightening version of modern cities, ancient landscapes, or natural terrains.

EOKIA

Eokia is a land of pure myths and magic, where the more authoritarian human civilizations, such as Sanctuary, have little to no access. Many groups dot the land of Eokia, as it contains two continents with all biomes. Groups within Eokia may include unrealistic warrior clans, tribes of dragons and other mythicals, ninja villages, and much more. Anything can exist here, generally in peace. There is no formal government, though some groups from within may always try to assume further control or domination.

SONLAS

Sonlas is a large island off the coast of Eokia, with roughly the same landmass as real-world Japan. Two "countries", which are perhaps better described as city states with large territories surrounding them, have been in a state of cold war for decades. Though both of the capital cities are home to advanced magic and technology, many things are not allowed outside of the capitals without a permit. As a general rule of thumb, the further you stray from either capital, the less advanced the technology becomes and the less grip the government has.
