It was the year 2043 and tensions were higher than ever before. It was the last straw that finally broke the camel’s back. The United States of America, after finally waging war against the Chinese republic after being denied drilling rights in the vast country populated by more than 1.7 billion people, flipped the cap and pressed the big red button after claiming to have dismissed and dismantled their nuclear weapons. Of course, like the humans they were, lies and slander were nothing new, and China didn’t hold back. If it weren’t for human error playing a huge role between the two powerful countries, than perhaps the rest of the world could have been spared from the bloodshed, but alas… it was inevitable.
A fire bomb got knocked off its course accidentally, or was programmed to hit another spot. You sort of lose count of where each missile’s supposed to fly after launching about 8 of them in one day. Apparently the last 2 didn’t quite deliver the message properly, but China made it clear they weren’t going to back down without a fight. The stray bomb, however, crashed right into the UK’s territory, and boy, were they pissed… Soon enough, they retaliated against BOTH countries, more missiles began flying out of place, and before you know it, the World had entered its final phase of self-destruction… World War IV.
Nothing was left how it used to appear. Everything was destroyed, obliterated, smoldering in a heaping pile of radioactive ash, or just plain wiped out of existence. The Earth stood silent for about four years straight… until life emerged once more, however, not in the form former humanity would have wanted it to come out as. A new breed of people, a whole new… race of monster had emerged. At first, it started with the Vampires, claiming parts of the charted western region of what was once known as the US. Soon enough, Native American Shifters, Sylvan Fey, Shadow Dwellers, and Worldly Dragons all stepped onto the battlefield, but if that wasn’t enough, a small nation of nearly 10,000 human survivors rose to the surface from their hiding spots to form the final, mortal frontier against these battalions of supernatural creatures who’ve all been waiting for this same opportunity. Only God knew, if He/She existed, what would become of this new masterpiece to etch the Earth. Would the Vampires rule as the supreme species and rulers of the world? What about the Shifters and their wild ambitions? The dragons didn’t fly all the way from the corners of the planet just to watch, and neither did the Fey abandon their homes for hell of it. Everything was fair game, and nothing was could be trusted… It was a Dreamer’s Wasteland, and only the best, most conniving monstrosity would come out the victor…
