===Themes and Threats===
*This City is Neutral in all Foreign Affairs (Theme): In the ongoing conflicts in the Supernatural world, Hong Kong is considered to be neutral ground for all parties, per decree of the Jade Court. No fighting between major factions is supposed to occur here. This makes it a popular place for supernaturally attuned trying to avoid the attention of the White Council or the western Vampire Courts. And it makes it a center of espionage for the same groups.

*East Meets West (Theme): In addition to being the meeting point of eastern and western culture in the mortal realm dating back to the British Colonial Era, Hong Kong is also the central point where the borders of the Fairy Realms and the Chinese Heavens and Hells in the NeverNever, and where the Eastern Jade Court is at its most public.

*Something is About to Upset This Uneasy Peace (Threat): Tensions have been growing in the back alleys of Hong Kong in recent months amongst the supernatural communities; and everybody’s on edge. People know something is coming, but nobody knows what. It’s even been observed by mortals, though they blame the international situation and the global economy.
