In Valthera, society is deeply divided between humans and hybrids, who possess supernatural abilities. Once a utopia, Valthera has become a dystopian state ruled by a powerful elite, including government officials and wealthy tycoons. The government enforces strict laws to maintain control, leading to widespread oppression, especially against hybrids.
Valthera's capital, Ebonport, is the center of political power and corruption. The country is plagued by a brutal civil war, with three main factions vying for control: the government’s oppressive forces, the Mafia protecting hybrids, and the Resistance fighting for peace. Social classes are sharply divided, from the privileged elites at the top to the oppressed hybrids and outcasts at the bottom, creating a tense and volatile environment.
