If you're interested, here's some indepth information on the peoples of the Folded World.
The Fae in general
The people of the Wild, on the Eastern side of the Fold. These creatures are generally furred and feathered, and often do not wear clothing. They are usually quite varied in their beliefs, but all agree that they were fathered by the Wilding Spirits. Generally, Fae society tends to be secretive, isolated, or otherwise shut off from the outside world.
The average Fae wield minute influence over the elements of flame, of soil, of water, and of air. In case of those from the Heavenly Steps, controlling ice is also possible. For the more advanced Shaman come the Aspects; Emptiness, Decay, Force, and Life.
Major locations (but by far not the largest, nor the most populous) include the parasite-infested Forest of Worms, the wintry Heavenly Steps, and steamy Upper Laknat.
The Forest of Worms
This area is remote, set at the temperate Eastern Major Petal of the Wildness. Although insignificant to the world at large, the inhabitants of this area are feared and reviled by the rest of the world. Their bodies have developed a resistance to the local parasites. Those who attempt to leave are caught by others and dumped into lonely places, where no others dare to go. Thus, an individual from the Forest of Worms would make a good candidate for Manifold, given its themes and setting.
Heavenly Steps
A chain of thin, tall plateaus along the Upper Minor Petals of the Wildness, overgrown by wintry trees. The denizens of this land are hardy and unflinching in their harsh conditions. They are the least faithful of Fae-kind, and are thus rejected by the Wilding Spirits. Without their blessing, the Heavenly Steps are considered unholy ground by the regular Fae. Some say that unnatural magic is born here.
Upper Laknat
From the brutal desert of Laknat comes a vast rainforest, located on the Lower Minor Petals of Wildness. Disease is rampant here, so those Fae native to these trees have a natural resistance to sickness. Few visit Upper Laknat, in fear that they may never return. Ironically, it also happens to be one of the most peaceful places, where the great plagues hold large animals to small numbers. The heavily adaptable Fae were quick to become the rulers of the land, and so it is the closest place to a civilisation in the Wildness. There is an abundance of swampland here to meet with the tall trunks of ancient, breathing wood.

The Homuncule in general
In contrast to the isolationist and traditionalist Fae, these scaled and skinbound creatures embrace large scale industrialisation and vast cities. Their strict hierarchy and thorough government mean that order is imposed in gracious portions in all inhabited places in the Tameness. Nudity is taboo, trade is everywhere, and all the people want to know what the next big show is going to be.
The Homuncule, in contrast to the Fae, are tamers of the wild magic that surrounds them. Instead of channelling it through their own bodies, they create machinery that does the heavy lifting for them. The basic spheres of influence for more mundane machines are control over haze, steam, light, and clay. More advanced machinery uses Glass (not the window stuff), Change, and Growth.
Major locations in the Tameness include Monolith, the Mesin Manufacturing Republic, and Tibuli.
Monolith
Hugging the edge of the Western Major Petal of Tameness, Monolith is the most orderly of all. A strict, extremely careful, and infuriatingly bureaucratic nation, Monolith controls most of the Tameness. They possess the most advanced technology seen on the face of the Folded World, and are said to hide many more wonders under the surface. In contrast to their penchant for creating the most interesting things in the world, their culture is extremely utilitarian. One would be observant to find a single shade of paint that wasn't grey here. The inhabitants are about as stoic as one would imagine.
The Mesin Manufacturing Republic
Located on the Upper Minor Petals of the Tameness, Mesin was once a massive, untapped field of high quality metals and complex machinery. It didn't take long before somebody came and set up a factory over it. That factory grew to take over the entire region. Mesin creates everything (like China). It's difficult to find anything that wasn't somehow passed through here at least once. Unfortunately, the astronomical profits aren't distributed very evenly, and most workers are near or below the poverty line. Anybody coming from here is going to be a very hardy, very handy individual who knows their way with machines.
Tibuli
An oddball city placed on the First Lower Minor Petal of the Tameness (what a mouthful), Tibuli is where everything (and probably its brother, too) is sold. There are very few jobs that involve manufacturing, instead relying off shipping, trade, and commerce to keep everything running. It is a fantastical place, full of everything from magic hookahs to self aware Auto-slaves. Anybody coming from here will be at least vaguely familiar with the industry, and will very probably be good at convincing people of doing things, or at least putting on a nice persona.

From those outside the realm of reality, the Folded World is but a small speck of dust in an ocean of ethereal sand. Yet, some choose to infect the natives. They may do this by direct contact, dreams, or even structures left behind for resident creatures to find.
Those infected are mutated and warped to better suit their greater purpose. Anybody is susceptible, anybody is vulnerable. Those infected will display strange needs and wants. They often are attracted to remote places, where their masters may make use of them. Beware the Fleshed who watch from the shadows.
Important! If you want to play an Influenced character, run your concept by me. It's an easy way to get your character a motivation, and I'd actually recommend this path if you're looking for a more eccentric experience.
