Over 300 years following Wilfre's defeat, the Raposa inhabit a vast inter-connected world rivaling that of present-day human society. Unlike times past, magic has become lost and its memory marred by Wilfre's calamity. This would change, however, as magic began to see an unexpected resurgence worldwide. Furthermore, rumors spread of a new Raposa with control over the Shadows. Now, Rapokind must face their apprehensions head-on and choose between the mundane and magical.

Basically, this universe attempts to remain as close as possible to the plot of the original Drawn to Life without contradicting it. While themes from Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter are used, the overall plot is largely incompatible with this universe. Drawn to Life: Two Realms is completely unused.
- In order to be immersed in this universe, there are two major concessions that must be accepted.
- 1. Mike, or any other human, does not exist. (If this universe takes place within someone else's mindscape, why should Mike be present?)
- 2. Wilfre does not return from the dead. After the events of the first game, Wilfre stays dead. Therefore, the events of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter are unable to occur.
Overview
Raposa, designed by the god of causality and creation, are the stewards of the two worlds—the corporal and intangible. From their inception, the Raposa population had been split into four villages, each defined by a specific virtue and vice shared by all Raposa. Until each village overcame its vice, all would be kept separate. The primordial Raposa, the original inhabitants of each village, built the foundations of their village per their own objectives.
- Watersong, blessed with culture, brought the Raposa understanding and expression under the leadership of Miles, overcoming pride.
- Lavasteam, blessed with prosperity, brought the Raposa wealth and substance with the overthrowing of King Miney, overcoming greed.
- Galactic, blessed with knowledge, brought the Raposa innovation and progress following the troubled leadership of Click, overcoming ignorance.
- Capital Village, blessed with wisdom and entrusted with the Book of Life, brought the Raposa faithful leadership following The Fall of Wilfre, overcoming deceit.
By the 248th year, all villages had overcome their vices and the world slowly grew united. 70 years later, inhabitants of all four villages jointly organized the first colony in ForestStream, a newly discovered island in the Emerald Sea. This settlement would eventually grow to become the Kingdom of ForestStream, a harmonious amalgamation of the four founding villages.
Though Wilfre's defeat marked the end of The Fall, the final catalyst before the villages could unite, it also marked the start of new, unprecedented, era. Dubbed The Purge, magic levels began to drop worldwide. 80 years later, ambient magic levels had completely depleted across the globe, cutting Raposa off from the magic realm. Since the beginning of creation, Raposa had used magic to accelerate their progress. Magicians used their skills to erect buildings, construct Warp Gates, cure illness, and generally aid society. The start of the modern era was the start of the mundane era.
By year 600, around 270 years since the effects of The Purge, magic usage became thought of a lost art, a myth. Some magical devices created before the loss of magic remained operational, such as the Warp Gates, and became the only artifacts that could prove the extinct existence of magic. Acclimated to the physical realm, many Raposa grew apprehensive toward the mere thought of magic due to Wilfre's influence. However, this would soon change.
Manere Heinnen, a typical young-adult from ForestStream came across a powerful artifact imbued with ancient magic. His misuse of the object led to its destruction, releasing all the magic trapped within it. Overwhelming quantities of magic flooded into the environment, starting a chain-reaction that led to the slow resurgence of magic worldwide—and imbuing him with control over Shadow. Now, Rapokind must face their apprehensions head on and choose between the mundane and magical, and forge a new way forward.
