Manhattan

Manhattan is an urban island right in the heart of New York City. It's a lively, densely populated hub where both human and supernatural communities come together. It's bordered by the Hudson River, the East River, and the Harlem River. It's a melting pot of culture, politics, and power. It's linked to nearby boroughs and Jersey City by a network of bridges and tunnels. Manhattan is a great example of urban complexity and diversity.   Manhattan's population is as diverse as its architecture, with people from all over the world calling the island home. The island is inhabited by all kinds of supernatural beings, from ancient creatures of folklore to modern-day sorcerers and technomancers. This coexistence isn't always easy, as different communities, both human and supernatural, often have conflicting interests and values. These tensions play out across the island's many neighborhoods, each with its own distinct culture, politics, and social dynamics.   Manhattan is also home to many influential organizations. The United Nations represents the interests of nation-states worldwide, while the Hunter's Guild, a powerful and secretive organization, operates from the shadows, maintaining a delicate balance between the human and supernatural worlds. Other international bodies, NGOs, and corporate giants also have their offices here, making Manhattan a hub of global diplomacy, trade, and intrigue.
