Taking a leaf from Houses of the Blooded, here is a list of things that are currently true about the game world as a result of play.
- Most people in America designate official Key-holders who have access to their private property in the case of emergencies. These Key-holders are recorded by the authorities and can be looked up as needed by law enforcement.
- A sub-culture of UFO nuts are aware of the existence of the Galactic League, an alien group dedicated to peaceful contact between developed races. They do not regard humanity as sufficiently developed as yet, but sponsor covert agents to help protect them from hostile aliens. These agents are not known to the general public.
- Most heavy manufacturing on Earth is no longer done by humans, instead products are imported through trans-dimensional gates from the God Machine, a parallel dimension (or alien world) which made contact with Earth some years ago. Tech-priests of the God Machine supervise all equipment they produce and sell, employing numerous humans in various tasks on their world. Human workers live on earth, using the portals to reach work. The Tech-Priests have formed a corporation on earth to manage their interests. Contact with the God Machine has *not* made earth worthy in the eyes of the Galactic League however.
- Travel to parallel dimensions is possible through techno-mystic means by skilled individuals. This fact is not well known to either the Tech-priests or humanity.
- Earth is also inhabited by faerie creatures, mostly harmless sprites and pookas who are responsible for minor problems and who love to play tricks on people. There are also Unseelie fay whose relationship to people is darker.
- The Fay are capable of inter-dimensional travel through magical means. Whether they employ the same methods as the techno-mystics is not known.
- Earth is home to it's own AI entity with interests parallel, but not identical, to the God Machine. This Oracle is obsessed with Data Collection in a quest for ultimate understanding of the Universe. Although the God Machine has a strangehold on dimensional access the Oracle is now the de-facto authority over human affairs.
- The Shadow beasts are vulnerable to being cut off from their energy sources by rings of fey material.
