Mages: "Everything is magic. If you don't think this it is because you haven't honed your perception enough to observe the action of power interacting with the world. I may not know how to detect it yet, but I will." People are distracted by stories. And notice how anthropocentric they are all are. Beware language. Control language, and you control stories. Control stories ,and you control minds.
Sorcerers: Is sorcerers another word for mage?
Fera: Wolf birds! Not just wolves.
Vampires: holy fucking shit. you mean to say vampires are real? no kidding? that's kind of terrifying. Note to self, avoid vampires because they will probably rip your face off.
Fae: Do they like crows? I like Matthew in Sandman.
People: Office hours in the Hall of Science and the outdoors. Help them grow or leave them alone? Why not ask them what they want. Guard their borders.
The City: meet it and call it hello. it's an insular hagiogeography.[1][2]
Nature: I love nature, but have you ever been bitten by it? Wet boots are pretty nasty too. Sometimes offices and dry clothes are really great.
