The World has Changed.

The year is 2185, as of the posting of this document.  The World has seen better days, better years.  Since the Fall of Old World Order, the human race discovered the much has changed for both humans and non.  Nomadic families are finding more and more work transporting goods in and out of the city, while Aristocratic Families continue to rule over the masses, seeking out those who would sell themselves for a chance at a better life.  This is not the world you know, it has become something else altogether.  The worst part of it:  We are not alone.

The rules have changed.

The Year 2077 was thought to be the pinnacle of Technological advancement.  Megacorporations ruled the world through corporate colonialism, and strength of Tech and arms. Human greed went unchecked, and those who fought back lived outside of the Corporate purview as mercenaries or Nomads.  Wars erupted between rival corporations through proxy agents and shadow operations, until humans dared to reach beyond their limits.  It only took one desperate move by one desperate CEO to trigger an event that would forever change the world as we knew it.  For all that technology, they could not see what lurked in the shadows of the Skyscrapers.  Once technology failed, a new Age of Darkness befell the world.

The monsters that were once thought of as fairy tales are real. 

It is said that if you gaze deeply into the abyss, eventually the abyss will gaze back. The survivors of the wars were made to gaze deeply into the abyss.  However, they never expected that anything would actually be gazing back at them.  For centuries, the powers that be regarded stories and folklore of creatures that go bump in the night were marked off as fiction, or old wives' tales.  The world had learned to accept the fact that these creatures could not possibly exist, despite the sightings of said creatures over the centuries as they slowly filtered themselves out of existence.  Little did they know how wrong they were.  The monsters of our horror stories are real, and they're hungry.

The world will never be the same.

The world has evolved into a place where technology is seen as a plague that destroyed the old world.  Over the course of a few years, the world population dropped to less than a million, leaving entire continents in ruins.  A century later, the survivors find themselves living in what is called, Sanctuary Cities, the few cities that had enough resources to survive the wars.  Ruled by Aristocratic Families, these cities are the remnants of civilization, and the last bastions of hope for the survival of the Human Race.
