Ah, the first whispers of our entwined destinies—the very moment when the sky itself seemed to shatter, revealing a truth that would forever change the course of human history. I remember it like yesterday, even though it’s been decades since those fateful days when the veil between worlds tore asunder. It began innocently enough—a brilliant flash of light that danced across the heavens, followed by an eerie silence that settled over the globe like a thick blanket.
In the aftermath of that cataclysmic event, society teetered on the brink of chaos. Governments scrambled to understand what had happened while ordinary people grappled with sightings of ethereal beings flitting through forests and urban landscapes alike. Some saw them as harbingers of doom; others hailed them as messengers from a long-forgotten era of magic. Amidst the confusion and fear, a small group of visionaries recognized the need for structured dialogue—and thus, the Interdimensional Affairs Department was born.
Those early years were marked by trial and error as the newly formed IAD worked tirelessly to establish protocols for interaction with our fae counterparts. Diplomats learned to navigate the intricate web of faerie etiquette, scientists delved into understanding the quantum forces behind dimensional convergence, and everyday citizens adapted to living alongside beings once confined to myth. Through perseverance and open hearts, we laid the groundwork for the harmonious coexistence we enjoy today—one that continues to evolve with each passing Winter Convergence.
