Overview (Setting)

FurryFaire is a game of high fantasy, but it is not a typical swords-and-sorcery setting. The game takes place in a region which is moving into the renaissance, with civilization and culture advancing at a quick pace. Magic and science both exist hand in hand, and the nations of Anansie, R'Tal, and Tarantis all work to bring enlightenment to the people. The light of reason has begun to burn brightly. For comparison with the real world, technology is moving into the early 1600s to 1700s for places like R'Tal and Tarantis, while other places such as Drachen and Cordona are edging into the 1500s to early 1600s. Those nations with greater interest in science and magic have a distinct advantage over other nations when it comes to technology, but other nations, such as Carcassonne and Anansie, have a greater emphasis on magic, and can perform powerful feats of sorcery. Most nations, however, lie in the middle ground between these two extremes.
