-So the basics are these. Beings from other places than our world have come to our world. It appears likely that they've been coming over for all of humanity's history, and perhaps longer (who can say?), but that it appears that their influence was limited in the past. It's possible that ancient conspiracies such as the Rosicrucians were part of the earlier attempts by these powerful beings to send emmisaries. But who can say how far they got? Early influence seems to have been in terms of these beings giving ancient sorcerers some small amount of empathic techniques to work with. +===== Basics =====

It's possible that ancient conspiracies such as the Rosicrucians were part of the earlier attempts by these powerful beings to send emmisaries.

 The problem with these beings from these other places is that many or all of them seem to have the quality that they feed on emotion, and not on the happy ones. The group in general, owing to the darkly malevolent nature of these beings, refers to them collectively as "Darklings." A lot of the downward spiral that the world is in, even things like the nuclear war in Australia, are likely the fault of these beings. The consensus amongst those in the know is that very likely they are attempting... and succeeding at... taking over the world. The problem with these beings from these other places is that many or all of them seem to have the quality that they feed on emotion, and not on the happy ones.

 This also happens to coincide somehow with the appearance of aliens from other stars in our world. Though some speculate that these "aliens" may actually have come from just another of these other "dimensions." What the connection is between the darklings and aliens, if any, is unclear.  This also happens to coincide somehow with the appearance of aliens from other stars in our world.

 +This Japanese Zaibatsu formed in the years prior to WWII didn't come to it's current dominance until the mid 2020s. It now owns companies like Coca-cola outright, Coke has been spiking it's product with both small amounts of cocaine and blue lotus which has been adulterated in some other locale, and flown into the Chicago area at an airfield run by "Snake People," a group of

 ==== Sorcery ==== ==== Sorcery ====
  
-Sorcery is an expanded use of the ability known as dimension walk (see below), where portals are opened to other worlds, and the differences in the worlds exploited to create effects. What effects can be created are myriad. Before one can be a sorcerer, one has to learn dimension walk as either a mystic or a psionic. +Sorcery is an expanded use of the ability known as dimension walk (see below), where portals are opened to other worlds, and the differences in the worlds exploited to create effects. What effects can be created are myriad. Before one can be a sorcerer, one has to learn dimension walk as either a mystic or a psionic. Sorcery is a huge array of abilites, and most sorcerers tend to focus on one type of sorcerous power associated with a single alternate dimension. 
  
-Panix is a psionic sorcerer, Spenser is a mystic sorcerer. +Panix is a psionic sorcerer specializing in fire sorcery, Spenser is a mystic sorcerer speciaizing in water sorcery.

 +===== Empathic Organizations ===== 
 + 
 +The term sorcerer itself is often used to describe highly trained empaths (who may, or may not actually know sorcery) who may not belong to the underground.  
 + 
 +==== Order of the White Circle ==== 
 + 
 +One such group that formerly existed in Chicago was the Order of the White Circle, who likely comprised 90% of the trained empaths in the city who were not members of the underground or The Destined. Panix and Spenser are former members of this order.  
 + 
 +=== The Destined === 
 + 
 +A shadowy group of powerful individuals that seems to have control of organized crime in Chicagoland. Members of this organization have exhibited empathic abilities. Many speculate that an individual known as Sahashradala is the leader of this organization, but if so, it is difficult to prove this. What is clear, however, is that he is a massively powerful empath of great training, who may not even be human.

 Apparently at the top of their hierarchy is a Tall One several times taller than the rest, though little is known about this entity, other than that it's name is The Lord of Lies.  Apparently at the top of their hierarchy is a Tall One several times taller than the rest, though little is known about this entity, other than that it's name is The Lord of Lies.

 +It is also rumored that Sahashradala is originally from this dimension, possibly from long ago.

 +One serpent person spoke of a home dimension, and once a massive serpent-man-thing was seen trying to cross over through a dimensional portal.

 +Dimension Walking is also possible along dimensions that do not remove one from our world, but simply allow for more rapid transit of this world. See Mai's recollection of how Benny trained her here.
