A jagged but lush coastline, equally comprised of verdant growth and storm-grey cliffs. Powerful rains that pummel fishing boats but nourish the bountiful farms further inland. And nestled in a natural harbor, presiding over aquamarine waters and dangerous reefs, the city Pheles. Pheles is the jewel in the crown of the country Praecia, but its glittering streets and equally colorful courtiers give it the name it is more often called: the Butterfly Court. Ruled by the enigmatic Eyotalas, the Butterfly Court is a knotted web of debts, whims, fancies, and rivalries.

But one power isn't the problem.
No, the problem is that you keep getting more superpowers. Your body mutates as time passes, growing new alien appendages and stranger supernatural talents. It makes life inconvenient, to say the least.
