For centuries humans ruled the Earth, threatening to exterminate species different than themselves. Vampires, lycanthropes, elementals and other creatures were forced to live in hiding among them. Though these races were powerful apart, alone they could not overthrow the humans that vastly outnumbered them.
Then the time came when they would submit no more. No more hiding what they were, no more human rule. The species joined together, waging war on the humans who controlled them. Eventually they gained freedom, but that was no longer enough, the groups wanted power. A treaty was signed, separating up the land into territories. All of the remaining humans were made slaves and divided up among the different groups.
The peace did not last long. Soon the different species began fighting between themselves, fighting for power and wealth. The brothership that had formed between them was broken. Slaves were stolen from certain areas and traded. As the feuds continued, slaves from all species began to appear, sometimes owned by their own kind.
Now the constant fighting has stopped, leaving the world divided and tense. There are still prejudices and bigotry between the various groups each blamming the other for past wrongs. The slavery that sprung from the wars did not end. Those who are born or sold into it are trapped; forced to serve those who own them.
