2229 - The Beginning of the End

The year is 2229. The place - Snadeton-on-Thys in the Lands of Horiulle, somewhere in what used to be Central Europe. The world we once knew has changed considerably. The visible surroundings are what most people today would describe as post-apocalyptic; humanity has long destroyed itself and the world it inhabits. There are few buildings that still stand erect in fact; almost every structure has been destroyed over the long years of constant raging battles. The oxygen levels in the air have been decreasing year after year as a result of widespread depletion of ozone levels in the atmosphere above planet Earth. UV levels in the sunlight have soared uncontrollably, leading to widespread deaths to skin-cancer throughout the 23rd century. Humanity itself is in an equally sorry state. What remain today are various scattered groups or clans - survivors of the War of the New Order which started way back in 2117, the year which saw the sudden rise to power of the so-called Robot Clans. For humanity this was the beginning of the end; six decades’ worth of bloody wars for survival; nothing but last ditch attempts by the humans to try and salvage their patrimony and their own existence. Nothing but domination and further conquests by the robot rulers have taken place, thus inevitably decimating the surviving numbers of human beings left on Earth.

Blue Light as it is more commonly known, is the fuel of the new world. Discovered and developed in the early years of the 22nd century, it has become the prime motive behind the War of the New Order. Realising that the old-world fuels had been exhausted, something had to be done to control the technology behind the production and extraction of Blue Light. This was successfully achieved by Jackson Trukx and the U.C.C. way back in 2117 - the time when they rose to power to become sole leaders of the new world.

A little more than a hundred and thirty years have elapsed since the rising of the machines and the self-election of Lord Jackson Trukx as the supreme ruler of the world. Throughout these years all those who have opposed the New Order or mustered the courage to voice their disapproval have inevitably ended up being cast aside and destroyed. When everything seems to be heading towards what Trukx promises to be the destruction of mankind, a new hope suddenly emerges with the appearance of two mysterious characters; an old Seer and his adopted son. It seems like this is a time of reckoning for Lord Jackson Trukx and the Upper Class Clan… All may not be lost after all…
