  An overview of post-mortem presences within the hidden world, including residual hauntings, conscious spirits, anchors and manifestations, the limits of what the dead can know, and Meridian’s approach to communication, containment and resolution.
• Psychics, Sensitives & Mediums
  An overview of innate psychic abilities within the hidden world, including different forms of perception, their limitations and consequences, communication with the dead, personal privacy and Meridian’s use of psychic information.
• Rifts, Realms & the Displaced
  Meridian has established that some supernatural peoples reached Earth through rare crossings from other realms. This entry summarises what the Commission knows—and what remains beyond its understanding.
• Supernatural Roots & Presence
  Renshaw has its share of supernatural history, but it is not a hidden-world centre. This entry explains how individuals, families and past events may have roots in the town without establishing permanent communities or naming residents before a story requires them.
• The Fae
  An overview of the varied and ancient peoples collectively known as the Fae, including glamour and individual affinities, the binding power of promises, their vulnerabilities, courts and allegiances, and Meridian’s negotiated relationship with their communities.
• The Hidden World
  How supernatural lives, communities, practices and phenomena coexist with ordinary society—and why knowledge of one part never grants understanding of the whole.
  
  It covers classification, disputed origins, everyday supernatural life, secrecy, character knowledge, ability limits, Meridian’s authority and Renshaw’s history without defining individual supernatural types prematurely.
• The Veyr
  A severely limited Meridian record concerning a blood-feeding people associated with the Echo World, whose ability to suppress awareness of their presence makes reliable study exceptionally difficult.
• Vampires
  Their transformation, need for blood, principal abilities and vulnerabilities, varied societies, and treatment under Meridian authority.
  
  Vampires include rare originals born into a people displaced from another realm and the far more numerous humans transformed through their blood.
• Werewolves
  An overview of lycanthropy within the hidden world, including its inheritance and transmission, the influence of the lunar cycle, transformation, abilities, vulnerabilities, pack life and Meridian’s treatment of those who carry it.
• Witches & Practitioners
  An overview of supernatural practice within the hidden world, including magical aptitude and education, how rituals produce effects, the boundaries and consequences of magic, different traditions and Meridian’s treatment of practitioners.
