This is a modern day fantasy RPG made by one of my freinds. Here's her description of the basic idea and a bit of history:
Basically it all can be summed up to this: fantasy is real. But that doesn't really do the whole concept justice. The idea behind Arsheeity is that every bit of fantasy, every legend, every dream, every nightmare was or is at some point concrete. The Fair Folk (or just the Folk for short) have existed among humans for thousands of years, unseen, as their deities and demons, their dreams and nightmares- and are also the cause of these things. As science and basic human disbelief became more prevelent, however, the Folk began to die out. Realizing that this simply could not be allowed to happen, the Folk took two courses of action. Some escaped into the unseen land of Dreams, a parallel plane of existence, where they could continue to influence humans through there sleep. This is where most of the more beast-shaped Folk fled ( i.e. the dragons, pegasi, gryffons, ect). Other Folk, however, attached themselves to the souls of humans, bonding with their hosts and becoming Changelings. These two courses of action allowed the Folk to continue to create dreams for the humans, but still remain safe from the destructive forces of cold science and human disbelief (as well as the growing presence of iron).
