Magic - 12

Magical creatures such as elves, fairies, centaurs, and demons may exist. Alteration may change emotions and the appearance of living things, but not their general form. Enchanted items such as wands or staffs may have charges, and last until the charges are used.

Social - 25

Culture and language are no longer barriers to governance or cooperation. Social equality and justice become the norm. Decision-making processes reach solutions that please everyone most of the time. Telepathy can seriously damage minds. Kinesis can accelerate small objects to supersonic speeds.

Spirit - 4

Believers with faith may assist a ritual without requiring the Miracles Perk. The presence of skeptics or nonbelievers no longer disrupts rituals.

Tech - 25

Portable fusion generators make personal energy weapons common. Nanotechnology and “memory“ materials become practical. Cybernetics are superior to natural components.

world laws

The Law of Domination - When intimidation is an Approved Action, a success allows the charater to draw 2 Destiny cards and choose which one to keep, and discard the other.

The Law of Ferocity - Beings from this realm are not subtle, but are brutally effective in their ruthless pursuits. The ferocious nature means most conflicts end in bloody results.

The Law of Pain - This brutal cosm rewards those who inflict great suffering. A character recovers one shock if his action causes one or more Wounds. The demons of Tharkold often harm their own pitiful thralls to prolong their loathsome existence when in engaged in direct combat with belligerent "monkeys".
