 //Wyrwycky plays on the theme of "Science Fantasy", where technology is so advanced that it's synonymous with magic. Witches, magical girls, sorcerers, and so on all draw their power from technology, but do so with whimsy and charm. War Witch combat draws upon Touhou, Madoka, and other bombastic magic battlers.// //Wyrwycky plays on the theme of "Science Fantasy", where technology is so advanced that it's synonymous with magic.

 Only the Wyrdwood Moon, orbiting their lost homeworld and final bastion of the Wyr, has remained in their possession. Keeping their new home costs them dozens of lives each month, lives that are difficult to replace, but the Wyr's indomitable spirit will keep them fighting until the last witch falls. Only the Wyrdwood Moon, orbiting their lost homeworld and final bastion of the Wyr, has remained in their possession.

 Wyr culture draws much from the fantasy and magical girl genres, with an emphasis on a normal (but magically-influenced) day-to-day life, with harsh, life-threatening battles lurking just beneath the surface. Wyr culture draws much from the fantasy and magical girl genres, with an emphasis on a normal (but magically-influenced) day-to-day life, with harsh, life-threatening battles lurking just beneath the surface.

 In contrast, the technology in their homes are similar to what would be found in our modern day- flat screen TVs, smart phones, and so on. This is another nod to the inspiration genres for the Wyrwycky, with an aim to let players RP a modern day slice-of-life that blends into fighting giant monsters in/from space.  In contrast, the technology in their homes are similar to what would be found in our modern day- flat screen TVs, smart phones, and so on.

-To picture a Wyr city, think of a hybrid of Rivendell from the Lord of the Rings and somewhere like Akihabara. Another way might be to look at post-apocalypse art of cities, with their overgrowth and roaming animals, but imagine the buildings are still intact. Trees and vines cover shop walls, illuminated by the light of the big screen across the street. +Witches travel using brooms, just like witches in popular media, though they are clearly creations of technology. Only Warders, male Wyr, do not travel by broom, instead relying on hovering platforms that fill a role similar to cars and trucks.

 Wyr War Witches draw forth the power of the Wyrd through implements known as //Cauldrons//. A Cauldron can come in any number of forms, but all of them are designed to shape the Wyrd in potent ways. War Witches do not cast spells in a traditional sense, but their Cauldrons are keyed to respond to a selection of incantations in a pre-designed way. Wyr War Witches draw forth the power of the Wyrd through implements known as //Cauldrons//.
