A seaside city which happens to have an unusually high number of non human residents, often mythical creatures. of course, one rule is set in stone, even if it's an unspoken one: Non humans are not to be seen during the day, unless they can hide their appearance to blend in. failure to adhere to the rule generally means exile, as crude and old fashioned as it sounds.
This of course means that most non human businesses are run at night, and the nightlife in Laguna Bay is just as lively as the daytime...but in ways, more dangerous.
