__TOC__

After the centuries of war and destruction faced by the world in the Grand War, a new world is being built from the ashes, with people recently coming out of bunkers and organizing themselves into wider communities.

There were nukes involved, but the main weapon of this war was meta-humans: mutants, genetically-modified super-soldiers, cybernetically enhanced geniuses, you name it!

Each fought for their home nation and its allies against most other countries, they often held positions of authority, and to this day many lead communities of survivors, with mutant families serving as royal blood-lines and mad scientists serving as technocrats.

Conflicts arise between these communities, partly because some of them are lead by literal super-villains, and partly because of people who want to finish the war that ended in a stalemate.

'''Guild of Darkness''' - A rebel organization that broke away from Dr. Elian's New Ezlazir and instead started their ideological movement around authoritarianism remaking humanity in "Darkness". The Guild is lead by the twin commanders Tialah and Tivri and based in the famous underground city of Reisor.

'''Neo Dynasty''' - A small kingdom lead by a royal blood-line of ambivalent mutants (like [[Princess_Athena_(Rise_from_the_Ashes) | Princess Athena]]), populated mainly by farmers.

'''Reisor''' - Home base of the Guild of Darkness, an underground city reaching depths of a quarter mile. Its ceiling is covered in tough alloys and the only entrance is locked behind layers and layers of security. The city consists of streets and roads in all directions, including up and down, like a three-dimensional labyrinth, and the more important the place the more likely it is to be deeper and less accessible. There are fortresses near the top, civilian apartments in the middle, government buildings and militarily bases in the depths.

'''Sorority of Sight''' - A mystical movement revolving around several cults of personality who claim their occult and magical practices can allow their members to ascend to higher forms or become divine beings. Their movement started in the Aggonah Republic shortly after it was founded, and it has been spreading around the whole region since.

'''Syndicate of Miscreants''' - A bunch of meta-human petty criminals native to the Kingdom of Neo.
