Polaris is a small planet covered in ice and snow, somehow life has still managed to thrive. Most of the world is covered by large states, most of them connected by rail. The technology of this world is close to that of the early 2000s. The rural areas are filled with lost technology, and structures from ages long forgotten. And in both the urban and rural alike, the supernatural creeps and lurks.
A World Covered In Snow
In the frozen wastelands of Polaris, life has somehow managed to thrive, in the giant cities of the sprawling nations that cover this world and the wilderness filled with lost technology and structures are both filled with vast amounts of supernatural. The technology of the known world is close to the tech of the early 2000s. The architecture of this world is similar to that of ancient greece and rome.
The governments of this world know of the supernatural but think it will be too hard to supress it so try to keep citizens out of rural areas. The supernatural of this world ranges as there is a lot of it. They range from simple spirits to long forgotten gods.
Though many on Polaris are non religious, they are still superstituous, worried about what could be outside of the walls of the cities, what estoeric mysteries lay beyond their defenses?
Once in a while, someone will encounter the supernatural, maybe by accident, maybe by choice, maybe by fate. Sometimes, someone will decide to go looking for the supernatural, others they encounter it because the supernatural needs something from them.
