Okay, I guess things I've been assuming might be sort of world altering...
I've been using SK a bit lately. One of those uses is the SK Seattle
Security Division has a Thaumaturgical department, and in that dept there
is hidden a black ops sub-dept. Headed (at the moment) by Ms. Helene Kirk,
who pays money to the Shifters for assorted services whenever she needs
them. It seems fairly minor to me, but others might disagree.
A larger scale invention, one to which I do not draw attention, is related
to higher power individuals (e.g. SoVor and his mysterious Dragon opponent,
and the spirit 2K) who do not hit shadowtk except by their effect on my
list characters. I've assumed that Lofwyr has several paranormal agents,
such as free spirits, other Dragons who are loyal to him for reasons of
their own, high powered mages, that sort of thing. They all compete for
status and so on within his organisation, and so they often try to trip
each other up. Lofwyr is amused by their antics until they go too far, so
they're nervous about where exactly too far is. Some of them learn the hard
way.
All of this is possible under the current canon, since none of it has been
contradicted, but it isn't canon. So, is it acceptable?
