The Truth
While San Tuario is a growing community, it is much like the proverbial swan, beautiful and graceful on the surface and pure churning chaos beneath. Like the rest of the world, they deal with the unrest that comes from human rebels and those who refuse to bow to the Regime. During the day the city is nearly silent as most who live there are asleep, with only a few humans and those ISF who have the day shift being present. At night, however, the city and wilderness come to life with bustle and hustle.
There is a strong military presence in all areas in the form of the ISF, and while some might see this as safety, most know that it is an ever-present threat to their lives.No one is safe! At any moment a simple allegation leveled upon you might see you and your family dragged from their home and hauled into the ISF building for interrogation.
The wastelands just outside the city walls pose their own threat, the humans there refusing to become part of the Regime and could potentially cause a revolt. However, on that same note, the humans in the wasteland are far from safe as well, as at any moment the Regime could sweep in and capture–or even worse–kill them without any retribution.
Those humans who do live in the city and are part of the Regime have it slightly better, but not by much. They are second-class citizens and only tolerated because they are manual labor, mates for shifters, or potential new vampires. They do, however, have nice housing and secure jobs with pay so long as they toe the line within the Regime. The only way a human can improve their station in life and still remain human is to turn in their fellow humans for various criminal acts.
The city is run by the Governor, Marron Caldwell, who leads the people with the help of the Magistrates and Praetor, as well as Kit Caldwell the head of the local coven, and Finn Caldwell who leads the shifters with his own advisors. All of these are not people who one should cross as at any time they could easily call down the full might of the ISF and Regime on someone. The only people more terrifying than these are the head of the Regime, the Consuls, and the Emperor. None wants to see any of them or their people within the city because this means trouble with a capital T. Everyone in the Regime who wishes to live in the city strives to make sure that things remain peaceful and secure so they will never call down the threat of those higher up.
