The Dwarf and the Kraken
Red Beard was a fearsome dwarf to behold. A grizzled sailor with his face tanned to a tough leather by years of salt spray, windburn, and hours in the sun. His right arm ended halfway down his forearm, replaced by a vicious-looking hook that itself showed many dents and scratches from years of use. He was a sight to behold and unnerved many people with his simple presence.

The multiverse can best be described as a series of bubbles of reality. Each bubble is a universe unto itself. These universes all have their own laws of physics which are roughly similar but often feature distinct differences. Some of these universes are “near” each other. The rules of measuring their relations do not follow Euclidian geometry, but they are consistent and with the right equipment can be measured. The area between them is called “The Space Between Spaces”, or sometimes just “The Void”.

But, such a lifestyle cannot be maintained forever, so something had to change eventually.

Devil Dogs: Werewolves in the USMC
The United States military has always made heavy use of the various non-human creatures that inhabit their nation. However, no group is represented more strongly than werewolves. In terms of both raw numbers and the percentage of the population, werewolves are better represented in the US military than any other non-human species. While their raw numbers don’t equal the human service personnel, as a percentage of the total werewolf population they beat the humans by an order of magnitude.

In the present day, it is easy to explain the Cold War as simply tensions between the Romanian Empire and their allies vs the United States and their allies. However, the full history of the conflict is much more complicated and involves a long progression of international power struggles between different ideologies. Most importantly, the modern conflict often ignores a third long-term major faction: the USSR and their allies.
