The Waking City, 2026

Modern New York is a city where magic is real, rare, difficult, valuable, and quietly integrated into society. Magic has no single universal system. It responds to disciplined ways of interpreting reality: ritual, science, law, art, faith, technology, crime, or business. As the city reaches critical symbolic density, the line between a legal contract and a binding ritual has dissolved, and the pressure of eight million competing ambitions is causing the mundane world to buckle.

Pax Armata operates through invisible drones and humanoids, intervening covertly. On the surface, New York City grinds on with jobs, debts, and surveillance.
