The Forgotten Folk
A hidden world inside our own, in the year 1990.
Five centuries ago, a rift tore open in the hills above a small Castilian town. Out spilled creatures, mages, and scholars from a world the survivors would later call the Lost Realm. The arrivals stepped into Iberia at the height of the Inquisition, and most did not survive their first year.
Those who did learned three things very quickly: hide what you are, find others like you, and bury your dead in unmarked ground.
The descendants of those refugees, the Forgotten Folk, have spent the intervening centuries weaving a parallel society across the globe. Concealed enclaves, warded markets, hidden schools, and a fragile network of accords with whatever native magical traditions they could find. By 1990, the Folk number in the hundreds of thousands, scattered through every major city and quiet rural pocket on Earth, and most humans have never knowingly met one.
The campaign begins at the Nawadzi School for Forgotten Folk, a magically concealed university hidden in Nawadzi Valley in the Eastern Sierras of California.
