## World Building

### Setting

The Cosmic Realms
Are planets ruled over by Dragons and the **Dragon Justice Court**. Each sentient species has their own planet and they all have some type of magical abilities.
Wild Worlds
Planets not ruled by the Dragons, which includes **Earth**
**Earth** - Humans do not have any magic. Humans are generally not aware of any of the paranormal even though many members of the various species come to Earth to hide out from Dragons or to escape their home worlds for various reasons. They live a marginal existence on Earth. There are many, may humans that have "mixed" blood such as a parent or grand-parent from one of the magical species. Those humans that have at at least a quarter magical blood can usually see or feel when they are around someone that is part of one of the magical species.
*Between* spaces, exist in between, not on a physical plane.
There are two species that reside in *between*. No portals can open to either Realm
Fae or Fairies - Didn't want to be ruled by dragons so they live in a realm that exist *between*, can only be accessed via a *fairy ring*.
**Del’Noth** - Home of the sentient Great Silver Tigers, a Realm that was created by the Dragons just for them. The tigers can not eat while outside of their home.
