Business is booming. Or so was the case up until recently.
Starenberg and Co., a meager regulator agency located in the old port city of Nordholz, Westerloy, has seen a considerable drop in job offers available. Funds are drying up, and nights are spent hungry. It remains only a matter of time before the agency will be forced to close its doors for good.
Thankfully for Starenberg and Co., or perhaps for the sake of your own pocketbook, the agency has been specially requested as of late by the mayor of Nordholz. As of yesterday, the cargo ship Karlsruhe had arrived at port—with no trace of any souls on board. In hopes of that it isn't a magical issue. Eager to find out the reason behind their disappearance, the mayor has hired the agency to investigate the vessel, and on the chance it is indeed a magical issue, deal with the problem before it gets worse.
Mystery ghost ship. Cargo remained, crew seemingly disappeared. What happened?

There is often trouble to be found in myth and magic, and so the respective governments of the world have chosen to outlaw the practice in all manners possible. However, this is where you come in. As one of the selected few allowed to deal with all manners of magic, your job is to ensure the peace is not broken in unusual matters that traditional law enforcement are unable to handle.
Essentially, you are above the law, so long you don't cause trouble.
While regulators are allowed a greater deal of freedom than the average citizen, it is nonetheless a dangerous way of life. Many regulator agencies have sprung up throughout the world, and many more been wiped out. Though you have countless tools, be it magic, firearm or even blade, at your disposal, becoming a regulator means assuming all risk, even that to your own life.
But Carlyle, you might be asking, how does one even become a regulator in the first place? How does one follow in the footsteps of a dashing, magic-slinging detective? Good question.
Regulators are those who are born with magical talent.
