Our World
Up to date: Summer 2025
Our World is the world that you and I inhabit. This is Earth and its universe from where humans evolved, organized and rose to take over the world, everything exactly as you know it, albeit a few alterations:
Our stories, countries are all as you know them with one key difference being the cities, which you will notice are named by their popular moniker rather than their actual real life name. This is done to give myself more freedom to play around with them, altering them to suit my needs.
Thus the home of Alea's Circle, named Garden City, is placed at and heavily based on Hanover, Germany, but with a creative distance to explore.
Anything and everything is exactly as the real world, until otherwise specified.
That is, until The Unravelling happened on December 21st, 2012.

Geography
Exactly as you know it, and would assume it to be.
Ecosystem
The offset is the same, however the Unravelling and subsequent Convergence Events lead the way for other creatures to spread from Otherworld to ours.
Animals formerly only testamented in medieval texts and weird folklore find their way here, and the active interaction between Fey and their Aspects lead to a more fluctuating, evolving world every day.

Localized Phenomena
Everything you know, and in addition to those comes the Convergence Events, where the border between two worlds meet and form roads between them.
History
The history of Our World closely follows our real life counterpart, however where legends tell of highly unlikely tales, they carry way more truth in Our World.
Knights slaying dragons, Egyptian animal-headed gods, Celtic tribes driving off monstrous Fomori – all of these examples of stories that are myths in the real world, but very much true history in Our World. We are just only realizing that now.
The Unravelling was an event that saw the magic barrier break, leaving the world open for the influx of magic from Otherworld, which had been barred for many centuries. It also broke every glamour for a moment, revealing every Otherworld being hiding among us. An event that put the entire world into a chaos, it is still trying to understand.

Tourism
Our World has many visitors from Otherworld and always had:
The Fey originate from Fate’s interactions with Our World and especially the Vettir have often visited, either to form short-lived settlements, to rule over humans or just because travelling between two locations in Otherworld often can be easier and less dangerous by traversing Our World from one known portal to another.
