The world of the novels
The Department of Unnatural Affairs
An ancient diplomatic legacy. A modern administrative headache.
Between jurisdictions
The Department operates in secret where human and supernatural interests intersect. Its work concerns interrealm administration and disputes, not deciding the destination of souls.
The fictional Church's secret diplomatic authority was ratified at the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE. The Department's world draws on that centuries-old institutional history.
The DUA is fictional and unknown to ordinary people within the novels.
