It’s the year 3500.
Rewind 1490 years to the ground-breaking year of 2010.
Imagine: buildings so tall they may as well be a part of the sky, robots that control parts of cars, robots that build things, bombs that can level a country in a few seconds, technology straight from dreams. Paradise for some.
Fast forward 1490 years back to 3500.
Observe: society collapsed, conventional government gone and replaced by an advanced feudal system, cars do not exist, beasts that rule the sky straight from dreams. Paradise for almost none.
This is Peradia.
Time has progressed so much, that the seven continents became one and humanity has been forced to live together without entire oceans between them. Life hasn’t always revolved around a modern feudal system; the three kingdoms (Atlerion, Italius, and Romador) have only recently appeared in the last 200 years. In fact, when the Great Impact of 2925 happened, the aesthetics of normal life seemed to uphold for 75 years. What no one knew about was the species of beast that futuristic science had created straight from mythology and nightmares. Beasts with knowledge of ancient times and beyond. Beasts with roots of their creation 1000 years in the past.
Dragons!
Six breeds, they’d been kept alive successfully for over 50 years, and kept a secret for even longer. However, just as life was beginning to adjust to the Great Impact, science was beginning to prepare to share their triumphant secret with the world, knowing that somehow their creation would bring about a new era. Their idea was not so readily received. When faced with the fact that science could create anything they wanted, the churches revolted saying that if they could create dragons, they could create God. The Holy Roman church declared science a heretic practice and began the beginning of the end.
Wherever the news was announced, chaos was sure to follow.
Governments collapsed, religion disappeared, scientific ideas died out and anarchy became king.
When the wars finally died down around 3200, most people did not know that a new form of government was in the works. Taking knowledge of ancient civilizations, modern and medieval ideas were melded to form the Kingdom Feudal system. From this, three monarchies rose from the ashes of the burned civilization. Originally, the scorned people rejected this way of life, wary to control, but a few saw the potential for peace and normalcy and moved into the kingdoms as soon as possible. Over time, the general population began to see sense in what had been made for them and divided themselves up between the three kingdoms, but not everyone believed what was being fed to them. These people either live in bands of outlaws or with the gypsies. Rarely does one who’s rejecting the offered society live alone, as being on one’s own is far from safe.
Unfortunately, time has its way of crumbling even the most stable.
Unrest has been brought up to a low boil in the common-folk’s blood by rumors of inter-kingdom unease that could possibly lead to war. Though generations old, the scars of the horrors witnessed hundreds of years ago have failed to be forgiven and forgotten. Still, there are some out there who are calling for war, saying that there should only be one entire kingdom total. It’s up to the integrity of humanity as a whole to keep their new found system from falling down, but will their determination to keep peace at the forefront and chaos at bay be enough?
The only way this can be answered is by picking your side, finding friends, and keeping enemies close.
