Don’t we just call them eldritch horrors and assume tentacles?
yep! Six of one, half dozen of the other.
I do think you could do this without delving into the oWoD stuff. There’s a lot in the Hisil that you could use, especially if you were going the Mage route. The Shadow is part of the invisible realms and can link to the Underworld, the Supernal realms, the Abyss, etc. There are spells that allow for Mages to do things in the spirit world and create large-scale things.
If you go a little beyond that and draw some conclusions about Changelings, you could have the Hedge. It would probably just all be located in one area, near a gate that leads to the Supernal Realm of Arcadia. Then having bits and pieces amalgamated into a kind of island of matter (I’m just going to call it “island” from here on) that has a city constructed on it; if you’re leaning fully into Mage, could even be an old piece of Atlantis. The Changelings would be able to leave the “elemental pole of the fae/chaos” and also go close to it in order to acquire some of their tokens and hedge fruit. It’d be very Stalker-y/risk vs reward. If it was all centered in a single city, the area nearest to the Hedge/eventual entrance to Arcadia would be a terrifying and anarchic mess, likely with (probably extreme) arts and entertainment venues, and probably be stuck to the whims of the local Courts.
Uratha would be tricky but could work, especially if you had a verge or something within the island that humans could wander into and suddenly were outside of the protection of whatever was holding the island together. The Uratha would basically be beset on all sides since they’re occupying a small island of physical matter in a giant sea of Hisil/Shadow. If you had it all centered in one city, there would need to be a big park, maybe a small mountain or large hill with a lot of greenery and lush foliage around it, a sort of “elemental pole of nature/the earth” in the City and likely would be heavily guarded.
I don’t really know enough about Demon to figure that one out.
If you had a big city upon the island then Vampires would be pretty easy to add in with minimal updates other than noting that the Masquerade is undeniably shredded, so individual vampires would need to be strict about their personal Masquerades.
Sin-Eaters would probably require some connection to the Underworld. I think I would probably identify that as similar to the Changelings and the Hedge/Arcadia, where the Underworld is very easy to get into and as you get closer to like the “elemental pole of death” or something, you run into more and more ghosts that are causing problems. If it’s all contained in a single city, that part of the city is probably a rundown shithole that no one wants to visit, but socioeconomic elements force them to remain there. Where else are they going to go, after all? The world ended.
I can’t really imagine Prometheans lasting very long here, but that could be a kind of Bas-Lag Remade (Perdido Street Station/The Scar/etc.) sort of deal, where people are punished by being killed and made into Prometheans, or maybe just Remade (a la Deviant).
