❝Now, there are a lot of weird creatures in the wizarding world. There’s unicorns and dragons and all that, but there’s also vampires and werewolves and their kind. And those? Those’re monsters that ain’t mindless, that have hungers but’ve still got souls, that still have t’live and eat and love and have lives like you and me. But there’s a lot more to it than full moons and blood-sucking.

Morbus is a safe haven for these types. You can’t have law in Morbus - there’s too many bad people and too much dark magic, it’d be a goddamn world war to try and take it over. So the vampires and werewolves and their kind can live here in peace, without the Ministry interfering. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Ministry official myself, and law keeps us all in line, but sometimes the people writin’ the laws are just plain ignorant and wrong. So for lots of these folks, Morbus is their only option for havin’ a family, or havin’ a job.

Notice I keep sayin’ “vampires and werewolves and their kind” - there’s more’n just blood-suckers and moon-dogs, and I’m not just talkin’ about centaurs, merpeople, and giants. There’s others, too, from other places that our Ministry ain’t too familiar with. There’s mermaids - the traditional ones, ya know, with the human torso and a fishy lower body - and ogres, and hybrids - ever seen a man that was half-dragon? How ‘bout half Basilisk? - and what we call “weres,” which are people who turn inta different kinds o’ creatures like werewolves, but ain’t magic. Werelions, wererats, wereducks - ya get my point.

Figure from the look on your face you don’t know much about this s**t, kid. Lucky I ran inta ya - I know a lot about these types, I can help ya out a bit, give ya some insight. Pull up that stool, buy me a drink, and keep those ears’a yers open.❞
