In World 221 humans have formed a belief system that recognizes the effect that various artifacts which work as clothing have on its believers. These garments increase the connection people have with beasts that endow their bodies with certain attributes related to their movement, perception and performances by modifying their shape. The morphological transformations can be seen through a ceremony where they are directly manifested onto the believers.
Three great beast families shape the existence of this world: Corpusia, Modeias and Perfos, each one with its own characteristics. All beasts are led by Inoxiva who created every being.
