A few commonly known "facts" of the setting...
- Just before the beginning of the 20s, a literal Demon Princess of Ravanna arrived in the city, intent on escaping the Titanomachy and setting up a flower shop.
- She ended up marrying a local Hero, Boston Stroph, and creating for herself quite the little clan.
- Boston, a Scion of Loki, was particularly notable for having made a deal with "all of the devils" to win his wife's affection.
- The Dragon, Tianlong, went on a rampage in 2008 and had to be put down by a Scion of Poseidon.
- The Scion who killed him, James Kirkpatrick, was killed some years later by his girlfriend.
- The city itself is held as Cursed, particularly by the Shen, for the inauspicious act of killing Tianlong.
- a Giant "World Tree" dominates Central Park, the size of a skyscraper and holy to numerous cults.
- Something of a lynchpin to the Mythical Underground.; THE PLACE to go for everything from Scion Groupies to the Relic Black Market.
- The tree hosts a number of Terra Incognita, some quite accessible, and hosts a number of non-human races/beasts.
- Multicultural Melting Pot...
- ...all of the Pantheons mingle and crossover in weird ways.
- Most of this is facilitated and organized under the aegis of Columbia, Lady of Liberty.
