LORE - Introduction

There was once a world where life was ruled by us, the people.

The world, as we knew it, seemed to unravel. Global war. Civil unrest. Nature grew reckless, storms and earthquakes plaguing the world.

Though none of those horrors could prepare them for what was to come.

Some say it was an act of God- that he was unhappy with the humans. The United States of America saw what was coming. A massive earthquake was on it's way. It was the largest earthquake ever to be seen- the largest the earth could handle. Springing into action- officials from around the world formed an organization known as 'USO'. USO would create underground systems to which civilians would move- shielding them from the magnitude. Only the richest countries could afford to have them built.

When the earthquake arrived- USO's work was not close to being finished. Though multitudes fled to the tunnels- the cities of the world crumbled. Rock burst from the ground, flying high into the air- only to fly back down onto the cities and towns. Buildings were forced into deep burrows of stone. The USA, Canada, and Russia were very lucky. Much of the South was destroyed. Australia lay deep under water after a mass tsunami struck. Water damage and flooding killed many there- though the initial impact of the wave was too powerful for most to survive.

The USA, Canada, and Russia were the only to survive the incident- though there population had lost forty nine, fiftieths of what it had before. Governments ran to get things under control- but everything lay in ruins. With so little people left for reconstruction and re-population- the earth was done. Some did not give up hope though.

The factions were created to get things under control- but only invoked warfare. Remnants- or survivors, struggled on their own. With no where to go for shelter- they were forced to survive off of the land. After only a few years- the world began to rebuild itself. Trees grew from ruins, creating dense forests. Rivers ran through intersections, forming large ponds. Mother earth was taking control once more.

But still,

There was once a world ruled by us, the people.

There still is.
