Universe List

pineapplechildManners-verse:
A universe very like our own, but with a bit more magic. Magic users are in the minority of the population, and until roughly the late Edwardian, early Victorian, were mostly maintaining the Masquerade, as it were. Oh, there's always been areas (and times) where the mask is thinner, but for the most part, the magic using society developed in parallel. Family, clan, and teachers are a big thing in magical society, and the split between Light and Dark magic is huge. Manners are what keeps everyone from getting out of control.
Contains:
Ward:
Focuses on Dark Mage Luka Reinhardt and his reluctant apprentice, Neil, who has gained some unsavory demonic attention.
Ravencroft:
There hasn’t been an actual seat of higher magical education since the Greeks, in the west, at least. Until Samantha Daverns sets her mind to it. Focuses on Sam and some of the first generations of faculty and students at Ravencroft.
Turtle Bakery:
Focuses on Cya Torres, owner and head baker of Turtle Bakery. Cya was one of the formost Alchemists of his line, until a horrific accident. After the accident and death of his best friend, Cya swore off alchemy, and moved away to open a bakery. Everything was rolling merrily along until a new Baron came to power and started to take a bit too much interest, and Cya’s estranged wife shows up again, saying that he and their daughter are in great danger.
The City and the Keep, alternately, The Alchemist and the Knight:
Renaissance Italy, in a county where the local lord is the son of a demon, the lord’s alchemist is the illegitimate daughter of an empress, and the lord’s most loyal knight is the son of a local goddess. But your origins are not all that you are or ever will be.
Seekerkine:
Focuses on Detective Isidore Winters, of the Chicago Police Department, and his wife, Dr. Anais van Leeuwenhoek.
Semi-canonical:
Wall-ward:
The Roman Empire is known as one of the last great magical Empires, and the Wall separated civilization in the British Isles from the Wild Magics. Focuses on the mixed Company of Third on the Wall.
