🪪 WELCOME TO ZVEZDOGRAD (WORLD LORE)

Zvezdograd is a gloomy, rain-slicked metropolis divided by the Milky Way River, where three species openly coexist under a strict, state-enforced Passport System:

⬛ Black Passport — Humans: The majority, holding onto bureaucracy and old order.

🟦 Blue Passport — Werewolves: Larger, stronger, with heightened senses. Assimilated 200 years ago after a brutal territorial war.

🟥 Red Passport — Vampires: Genetically mutated humans who live up to 150 years. Cold-skinned (31°C), wealthy, and arrogant. Drinking real blood is illegal (they survive on synthetic blood bars), though the rich elite still buy human blood on the black market for the high.

What else is rotting in the city?

Alongside the Forest Butcher, Zvezdograd is plagued by an authoritarian Forest Cult masquerading as Old Believers, an unnamed street drug at the elite "Fifth Sun" nightclub that makes victims claw their own skin off, and a cursed Telegram channel (*LastWish_Zvezdograd**) whose targets keep turning up dead with faces frozen in terror.
