The World ✘
And everything you need to know about it 07/'17
A long time ago, humans shared the world with other races of beings, each equally as intelligent as them. However, a war broke out between the races, and the humans were near extinction. During this time, the Gods made an executive decision to employ Laws of Magic unto the world. {{The Laws have their own thread, please make sure to read them.}}
After a bit of time, the Gods noticed the Laws being completely ignored, and decided that it was time to create some form of protection for the humans. Thus, the Order was born. The first few years were difficult for the Order, and it barely thrived. However, anyone that joined was given special powers that helped to eliminate those that disobeyed the Laws of Magic.
Hundreds of years passed, and the Order grew, taking out anyone that dared disobey the Laws. However, this brought on a few unfortunate events in itself, like the humans getting it in their heads that everyone was a witch and needed to be burned alive. Wars broke out amongst the humans, and the more supernaturally inclined beings used those opportunities to fight back against the Order.
Nowadays, the Order is thriving. They have found ways, over the years, to hide themselves in plain sight, and yet to keep themselves away from suspecting humans.
Humans are quite stupid when it comes to magic. Most know absolutely nothing about it, but many natural disasters can be attributed to magic being used too far beyond the Laws. The Order has people everywhere to cover up these events.

The Order itself has many different fronts, all over the world. But in this particular city, their Front is the Augustine Hotel. Humans can check in, but they are only given access to a few areas in the hotel, whereas members of the Order get access to all of the Hotel, including secret backrooms, an armory, a bar, and a medical bay.
The Order also has its own currency, which is uses for absolutely everything inside of itself. Members are paid for contracts in both this currency, and human currency. They are given very modest and meager lives when they first join, and have the opportunity to climb through the ranks.
