Eden: A World of Beasts and Royal Bloodlines
Eden is a vast and diverse world, three times larger than Earth, where humans possess the ability to transform into powerful beasts. These beast forms vary, including lions, tigers, leopards, eagles, snakes, and many more. The world is divided between pureblood beasts, who hold royal status, and non-pureblood beasts, who exist in various societal roles.
A defining characteristic of Eden is its severely low fertility rate, particularly among women. As a result, polyandry is the norm, where a woman is expected to have multiple husbands, typically at least three, while men are bound to only one mate for life.
