Bright (2017)
The world is inspired by Bright.
Modern cities are shared by humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, and other magical races. Technology exists alongside magic. Neon signs glow over ancient runes. Corporate skyscrapers tower above districts that have existed for thousands of years.
Despite laws claiming equality, society is deeply divided.
Elves
The wealthy elite.
Most elves live in heavily protected districts filled with luxury, wealth, and political power. Elven corporations dominate banking, media, and magic industries.
Bright elves are the rarest of all.
Legends claim Bright elves carry traces of ancient celestial magic in their blood. Most are hidden among ordinary elves, often unaware of what they truly are.
Humans
The majority population.
Humans occupy every level of society, from politicians to criminals. Most hold prejudices against both elves and orcs depending on where they were raised.
Orcs
The most hated race.
Centuries ago, orcs followed the Dark Lord during an ancient war.
Modern orcs had nothing to do with those events, but history never forgot.
Orcs face:
Employment discrimination
Housing discrimination
Police harassment
Hate crimes
Constant suspicion
Many businesses refuse to hire them.
Many neighborhoods refuse to rent to them.
Some people cross the street when they see one.
Others openly call them slurs.
As a result, many orcs grow up poor, isolated, and angry at a world that already decided what they are before they were born.
Not every orc becomes bitter.
Kael Grothak is one of them.
