We may look human, but we’re anything but.
Welcome… to the Otherworld.

Supernaturals have existed alongside humans ever since human history began. While the modern era allows for some of the old cautiousness to die down, the supernatural community remains a hidden and secretive microsociety. But for such a small population, serious rivalries and contentions remain.
In the last few years, a new group calling itself the Interracial Alliance has been making strides in promoting peace between races by establishing a small headquarters in the metropolitan area of Vancouver, British Columbia.
