Vanaheim
A city built up by ancient brick and new age steel, illuminated by unblinking neon lights. Its residents range from young and optimistic to hectic and highly paid, to worn out and awaiting reprieve. Humans have always lived alongside their supernatural brethren here, from the mysterious draugr to the much more visible elves and dwarves, and despite a few age-old prejudices, the coexistence has been mainly peaceful. Crime rates have been soaring upwards, and some of them are decidedly supernatural in origin. Magic is mere myth to the residents of Vanaheim, and yet evidence is piling up that suggests the arcane arts might once again have surfaced. The mostly human police force is spread thin across the urban sprawl and limited to more mundane cases. While more and more crimes are committed, many thanks to a new breed of supernaturals known as "psions", who seem to possess psychic powers, the residents of Vanaheim are looking for some hope in solving the mysteries.
Adam Dyer, a rich man born into the Dyer dynasty, of Dyer Pharmaceuticals fame, has stepped forward to become the vigilante that the city needs. Well, not personally. He's arranged for certain criminals to be released from prison, assembled various police officers to be transferred, and contacted particularly skilled citizens in order to create a task force. Adam has no problem with providing funding and equipment to his new crew, as he hopes that a group of investigators, supernatural and human, will be able to solve the crimes that continually baffle the police. His motives aren't entirely clear and he's keeping the comments to news reporters very terse. Rumors claim he had started his endeavor after a concerning report regarding the psions, but he refuses to confirm or deny the speculation.
The city's going to hell and he's offering the supplies to save it. Will you tackle the seedy, dangerous underbelly of Vanaheim to discover if magic has really returned to the realm of humans?
