Over a century ago, the world was recovering from the latest war. Countries had been torn apart, and a new superpower had establish dominance. Holding an iron grip over the other countries, they attempted to create an empire to last for centuries. It lasted less than 3 years. The population began to contract a variety of illnesses within the first year. Crops also began to wither and die. By two years, food production had all but halted. Scientists had found that the misuse of nuclear, atomic, and vital energies had corrupted the land itself, rendering it unusable. By attempted to use any means necessary to gain control over the world, the countries had destroyed what they fought for. As a last ditch effort to save themselves many countries turned naval bases into cities, or attempted to create their own floating cities. All possible resources were diverted to these cities, and as much as two thousand of them were launched. Within five years, only two hundred cities remained. Much of the food for these cities comes from fishing, or setting up farms that harvest specially created crops that grow underwater. The fuel is used sparingly, and many cities either find underwater deposits, or make missions into abandoned coastal cities to gather more. Either as a result of the tainting of the land, or an event of chance, many of the oceans became too turbulent or populated with hostile monsters for them to be hospitable. Within a decade, the cities had dwindled to seventy. But those remaining had endured so much hardship they were prepared for anything. After a century on the ocean, there were still sixty five of the cities remaining, and the populations from the lost cities had safely been evacuated. Ten years ago, communication with all but five of the cities had ceased abruptly. They had never been found, nor was it ever discovered what had happened to them. Drost is the largest city left remaining on the planet, numbering well over one million citizens. As a result of the size, it is immobile, and relies heavily on genetically modified farming and ranching as sources of nutrition. The standard of living is higher on average compared to other cities, but there is a large divide between the rich and the poor. The city is maintained by a force called the "Elite Guard". They are all hardened veterans from the mysterious raid five years ago. A ship nobody had seen or heard of before approached Drost, and for over a year, periodically attacked. The military quickly recruited anybody it could find who was willing to fight, and had lost many of the soldiers. But those who had survived, and eventually defeated the foes, had found themselves a place in the city. They were a guard whose skills were unmatched by anyone in the known world. Even with such a small group they were able to police and control the city out of sheer respect. Everything was quiet, up until a month ago. A cult had appeared in Drost, the source of which is still unknown. They worship the "Sleeping One, Gan'osh", and claim that the island-city of Drost was a gift from him. Though the group is small they have managed to stir up disturbances, and even managed to incite a small riot. Their motives and goals are unknown, but through some force, they are gaining popularity and support. |
