“Before the Great Light, there was Greed.”
Things had changed. The world had grown into a mockery of itself. And this world had fallen to the truest form of sin, Greed. It had become a world where mass corporations had become countries and macroeconomics had become the newest form of personal worship. With currency being the only distinguishing factor of power, those who were without, were without importance, and treated as such. The differences between the social classes rose to harrowing levels. Soon, only those ‘of currency' would be given the respect of basic survival. And those ‘without' would be deemed an expenditure to be disposed. As the differences of the classes clashed, a movement began to form. Not all of those ‘of currency' felt the same way. A group of scientists decided they would create a weapon against the global corporations and they would give it to the people ‘without.' The scientists set out to create a perpetual motion device, an Over Unity Machine.
An Over Unity Machine was a device that would only need a minimal amount of initial input and could produce an excess of bountiful energy that was infinitesimal. This would be a machine that would break all the rules. It violated the first rule of Thermodynamics, more energy production than energy consumption. It violated the second rule of Thermodynamics, that there will be zero to negative effects of entropy upon the mechanism. The Over Unity machine would be a true revolution of energy, one where there would be no limits, and only produce the prospects of global equality.
Since the basis of the world's economy was dependent on the worth of Thermodynamics, creating a power source that would render non-renewable resources obsolete would be a damaging weapon. The scientists established themselves in Mozambique , Africa . They named themselves the Clauricanes, for they would be the bringers of a new light, a new energy source, and a new world. And eventually they accomplished their task in creating the first self-sustaining renewable energy source. Soon, the world would come to know the first Over Unity Machine.
But the world's global corporations would not take this threat to lightly. They knew if the scientists empowered those “without”, it would mean an end to the power of the upper classes. But there was a solution, each corporation knew that whoever controlled this device, would potentially control the future. They decided to meet this ‘weapon' with weapons of their own. A global war broke out and each corporation battled to gain control of the device. But none seemed able to achieve an advantage over the Clauricanes. With the ability to independently power their own devices, the Clauricanes managed to build a defense that would deter any of the mass corporation's advances. Those ‘without' saw the rise of the Clauricanes and hurried to find refuge behind their unstoppable Over Unity Machine. As the masses slowly congregated, the Clauricanes began to form a city, where their Over Unity Machine would fuel their rise in supremacy, and bring peace among those ‘without'. They would name this city the Mullion Civitas, the cities of light.
The secret of the Mullion Civitas was the ability to control the heat dissipation of the Over Unity Machine. The heat needed to culminate and perpetuate the potential energy into kinetic energy never diminished. The Clauricanes were able to stop the entropy involved in energy transference causing potential energy to be interchangeable with kinetic energy, leaving nothing wasted and everything gained. With the productivity and expansion of the Mullion Civitas, the sphere of influence of the Over Unity Machine was spreading and the reign of the global corporations was ending. The Clauricanes were bringing about a new era, one where those ‘of currency' did not control the functions of the economy and where what mattered was the welfare of all people, even those ‘without'.
The era of the Clauricanes seemed to be one of great prosperity. As time continued, corporation upon corporation crumbled, and there were little to oppose the Clauricane's dream of the future. The Mullion Civitas had grown to enormous proportions. Where there was once a city, it would soon become a colossal fortress. The Clauricane's message would soon begin to spread worldwide and the world would finally know global peace. But what the Clauricanes never intended was their Over Unity Machine would become their undoing.
The process of the Over Unity Machine depended on diffusion never to occur. Harnessing this type of energy was incredibly volatile and should have never been explored. Laws of the universe cannot be broken without consequence, and the Clauricanes never predicted the catastrophe that would incur. The energy that was being cycled continued to mount, and without any release, it was escalating to uncontrollable levels. And eventually, it would release.

The release of the Over Unity Machine touched the heavens. It was an explosion of historic proportions, one that rivaled all of the atomic weapons of the past, and would change the world forever. The Mullion Civitas had gone from a promise of hope to a cradle of destruction. Since Over Unity Machines fueled the whole city, the blast catalyzed each of the machines, intensifying the explosion and successfully eliminating any trace of the successes of the Clauricanes. In one blinding moment, the skies darkened, the earth was shaken, and the world was silenced. This was known as the Great Light.
The world had changed again and life continued, but the face of the planet was forever altered. The icecaps had melted, creating different topography and climates. Due to the nuclear impact on Mozambique , a rift was created that rode the tectonic plates up to the Middle East through the Mediterranean Sea . Upon arrival, the tremor met a nexus point of gravitated energy. The union caused the gravitational poles to charge and reverse polarity to the massive landmass. This slowly pushed the land, once called Israel , into the sky. It has since been renamed, Gethsemane the Risen Land.
From the ruins of the previous civilizations, society began again. And from the chaos, one man was determined to make a civilization as powerful as the ones of the past. He summoned the last of the influential leaders of the old world to Alexandria , Egypt . This was the Summit of Power, the converging of minds that still held control amongst the people. And from the summit, he fashioned himself an empire. One the world has never seen. Thus began the Center Commerce of Capitalism or the 3C. Their leader, naming himself the Infinite, expanded the 3C dominance to a global proportion. His success was due to the creation of a technology that forged him the perfect army. The Corpus Factori. This technology altered the genetic structure of the participant, making him or her perfect in each and every way. These were the Facsimile, the loyal elite of the 3C empire. The Infinite decided to build the heart of his empire from where it began, in Alexandria . This is where he built the Sagun Citadel, the obsidian fortress. But to expand of this magnitude you would need a council to upkeep the law. The Infinite then formed his Board of Adherence, his laying eight known as B.O.A. Each member is just as calculating and malevolent as the Infinite. The Infinite knew he only had to wait and his Empire would slowly claim control of the world. And he had all the time at his disposal.
While the Infinite spread his sphere of influence, a woman fell from the sky. Even though religion had been deemed useless in the old world and the new, there were still believers of the ancient faiths. The Baha'i, a religious sect that welcomed all prophets, survived the test of time and still flourished even after the Great Light. It gave unity to the people and above all things, gave hope. Samatha had seen Gethsemane . It was the proverbial nirvana manifested for the Baha'i. The Risen Land seemed a haven from their plight and their misery and Samatha had sacrificed it all to return. She knew the people ‘who dwelled beneath' needed strength. And she would be their source. Forming the religious reformation called the Order of Samatha, she set out to destroy the source of her people's misery. The 3C Empire. But before she could wage war with the Sagun Citadel, a celestial message filled her. She must await a birth, a child that will return the Messiah to these dark lands, and return the Great Light. Understanding the importance of this, she withdrew her advancing armies. Samatha knew that there were larger powers at play, and would abide by the fragile laws of destiney. But she would not quell the vengeance in her heart and commenced the Procession of the Baha'i. The Order of Samatha would continue to liberate those who fell under the shadow of the 3C Empire. And with time their ranks grew. Samatha saw how her message spread and how her people carried it as a torch that she eventually retired to her Monastery in Araboth. With her order thriving, she was little she could do but wait. She awaited the born Amitahbah. And that day eventually came. Word spread of a child, a child with abilities of the Illum. Samatha knew that this was the child she had waited for. She sent an envoy to retrieve him, only to find that there were others in this world that held an interest for this child. After procuring the born Amitahbah, she realized why he was so sought after. He was the key. The key to overthrowing the Infinite and his empire. The key that would unlock a greater mystery. This child was a harbinger. He brought upon the Days of Anathema.
But some of the consequences of the old world had long gone unnoticed. The nuclear radiation had caused many of the unborn children to mutate into horrifying replicas of humanity. Each was a genetic anomaly with different characteristics. As the mutated communed, they realized the only way to secure their survival was to create a specific species with a dominant genetics. This was known as the Tarakamaya, the feast of flesh. Where the survival of the fittest ethic was tested, and many genetic variations fell to extinction. From this horrific period of time, five dominant species have emerged from the genetic primordial pool. The mighty Balakole, the cunning Chrysippus, the wise Ahuras, the swift Orishas, and the gruesome Laksani. Each tribe was entirely different but vital to the strength they had united. They were the Elavex, descendents of the Lords of Xilbalba. These five tribes of Xilbalba slowly came together to become a unified nation. Fueled by feudal laws and desire for power, the Elavex are mercenaries. The Elavex have no allegiance but only a price. They know a war is coming, and will wage with whoever offers them enough power. They believe themselves to be the forsaken people, the children of the Great Light, and the inheritors of the new world.
