“A world without magic is not a world we should live in. Part of the beauty of living is the imagination and creation of the world we make around us.”

Daily Life in Mortal Ashmere:

In Mortal Ashmere, mist clings to Gothic streets and the river breathes fog through the city.
Mornings are quiet as students rush to Grimsley College, artists haunt shadowed cafes, and shopkeepers quietly sell charms disguised as trinkets.
By afternoon, Widdershin Row bustles with magical oddities and whispered rumors.

At night, the city shifts.
Streetlamps flicker strangely, chalk wards appear on doorways, and dreamers risk slipping too close to Hidden Ashmere.
Most citizens choose to forget what they glimpse are strange reflections, vanishing figures, shadows that don’t belong.
It’s easier that way.

Inhabitants:

Humans: Most are descendants of the original settlers or modern folk drawn to Ashmere’s hidden magic.

Supernaturals: Ranging from werewolves and dryads to banshees and dreamwalkers.
Demihumans: such as fae-blooded or changelings

Demi-gods: Rare and elusive, often hidden in plain sight, baristas with glowing eyes, teachers who speak ancient tongues, or vagrants who can calm storms with a whisper.

List of Some Events:

Mirrorlight Festival Ashmere’s biggest public celebration, held on the longest night. Mortals and magic-users mingle under bioluminescent lights. Time thins and sometimes the dead slip through the crowd unnoticed.

Widdershin Faire A seasonal magical market stretching across downtown streets. Legal magic, minor curses, and enchanted goods sold openly. Occasional glamour breaks reveal sellers who aren't quite human.

Founder's Day Reenactment Historical festival honoring Reverend Grimsley and the city’s founding. Hidden groups use the festivities to perform ancient rites that reinforce (or tamper with) the Veil.

Grimsley College Convocation Opening ceremony for Grimsley College each fall. Normal students see a standard academic welcome but select initiates receive black-letter invitations to the 13th Department.

Ghost Walk Season October haunted tours spike tourism. Some "ghosts" seen during the walks aren't hired actors and sometimes a tourist vanishes without anyone noticing until dawn.

Ashmere Moon Market (Underground) A secret, invite-only night market during certain full moons where forbidden artifacts, banned spells, and supernatural favors are traded. Mortals who stumble in rarely leave unchanged.

Laws that are created by the Council of Ashmere and Enforced by The Covenant of Ash and Bone

1. Law of Discretion

No supernatural being may reveal their true nature to an unawakened mortal without sanctioned cause.

First offense: Memory erasure ritual and heavy fine.

Second offense: Forced glamour binding for seven years.

Third offense: Banishment into Deep Ashmere — survival not guaranteed.

2. Law of Silent Conflict

All disputes between supernaturals must be settled in Hidden Ashmere or through sanctioned duels, never before mortal witnesses.

First offense: Compulsory blood oath to the Coven.

Second offense: Sealing of abilities for one year.

Third offense: Ritual exile from Mortal Ashmere.

3. Law of Forbidden Works

Unauthorized magic affecting the Veil such as rift-tearing, uncontrolled summoning, or mirror-breaking is strictly forbidden.

First offense: Confiscation of magical implements and heavy fine.

Second offense: Branding (magical, invisible) to mark the offender as "Veilbreaker."

Third offense: Soul-binding to a mirror shard — imprisonment until the Coven judges redemption.

4. Law of Witnesses

If a mortal witnesses an event that could weaken the Veil, it must be reported within 24 hours for sanctioned remedy.

First offense: Magical compulsion to report all future breaches immediately.

Failure to report: Stripping of magical protections essentially, open vulnerability to Ashmere’s unseen forces.

5. Law of the Covenant Mark

No one may tamper with the ancient wards, sigils, or sealing mirrors protecting the Ashmere Hallowings.

Any offense: Immediate binding trial before The Covenant Of Ash and Bone; typical punishments include binding the offender into Deep Ashmere as a ward-guardian for 100 years.

Notes on Enforcement

Minor infractions are typically punished with fines, public ritual apologies, or magical bindings.

Major infractions often result in exile, soul imprisonment, or servitude to the The Covenant of Ash and Bone.

Repeat offenders may be unmade, meaning their spirit is unraveled and absorbed into the Veil itself a fate reserved for only the most dangerous violators.
