The World of The Devil’s Contract

It is a modern world, not unlike our own. Technology is about the same with a few minor differences related to other things that will be mentioned later. There are the same issues with bigotry, racism and sexism but with a few differences. The main difference is that there are all the races one might expect in a fantasy setting; elves, dwarves, fae, demons, angels, even dragons and trolls. This is mainly due to a slight difference in the borders between dimensions. The fairy realm, the source of magic, is almost directly connected with the world. As such, magic exists and is understood. It is not as powerful as you would find in a typical fantasy world, but it does exist and the science behind it is actually understood. That is why some aspects of technology are based around magic or the theories behind it.

But back to the bigotries in the world. There is no racism based on color of skin, as there is an entire rainbow in many of the races. It is now actually based on race. There are stereotypes of the races, some based on actual population level trends, others based on myths. For example, Black Lives Matter doesn’t exist, but Orc Lives Matter does.
