Post CoD3

The future is finally left in mortal hands. Micras ceases to be a battleground between cosmic galatic forces. The Time Distortionists are disbanded, having defeated Fate. The Gods regain their power and rebalance the universe. On Micras, magic and technology intertwine to help build a new future. Many of the surviving heroes live out their lives in peace and happiness. The end.

CoD2 is approaching its public beta release, so I figured it is time to reveal a few more things about the plot. First, here is a basic history of the recent events on the planet Micras.

The game takes place in the year 2001. Micras is similar to Earth in many ways but very different in others. The people on Micras build cities like we do, have cars like we do, own shops, have governments (and complain about them), fear war and recession, and generally try to live their lives happily.

However, over a thousand years ago strange technology was discovered in an ancient ruin of the world. No one knows who created this technology nor how they made it so that humans could understand it easily. But there was no denying its power. This technology was that of magic - the ability to harness the natural powers of the world for useful or destructive purposes. This technology was also that of antigravity - the ability to suspend even continents in the sky.

Around five hundred years ago, vastly technologically and magically empowered nations covered the earth. By blending the power of magic and technology, mankind thought themselves to be invincible. Unfortuantely, not everyone could get along. War erupted between these superkingdoms, and it was most devistating. The kingdom of Jasonia was the master of antigravity and pure magic, while the kingdom of Audentior used magic and technology together. In the end, the kingdom of Audentior beat out the kingdom of Jasonia and took over the world, scattering the last of the pure magi and destroying the secrets of antigravity.

For over 400 years, Audentior was the supreme power on Micras. And yet, while it grew and grew in magical power, it began to abandon technology. But the conquered lands did not. In around 1950, the provinces of Audentior used their advanced technology to fight back against Audentior and their Magical Knights. The result was world chaos. Although Audentior was defeated and all knowledge of magic was destroyed, the newly free provinces could not agree on anything and continued to fight. This conflict rose to a peak in the year 2000. It seemed that the entire world would be consumed by the fires of war.

However, like a light of hope in the middle of the night, something happened on Micras just in the nick of time. The son of survivors of from the Jasonia kingdom rediscovered the ancient secrets of magic and antigravity. He recreated the ancient kingdom of Jasonia and rose it into the sky once more. Proclaiming ideals of peace and diplomacy, Jasonia was seen as a last hope for a war-torn world. This man was named Jason. His parents had named him for the ancient kingdom, and it was their dying wish that he would see it return.

Jasonia's power was undenyable. Although some people tried to reform the ruins of Audentior, they failed due to interal problems. Jasonia, however, accepted control of one country after another until it owned the entire western hemisphere of the planet Micras. To celebrate their success and the end of so many wars, Jasonia held a public holiday known as the "Hyperborean Fair', named after Hyperborea, last of the countries to join Jasonia.

It was then that Jason, his best friend Bill, and Bill's brother Matt traveled through time. It was then that they learned of the dark history of their world and the even grimmer fate for their future. It was then that they learned that humanity was not alone in the universe. Aliens existed, and they desired to smash Jasonia and colonize our planet for their own.

Needless to say, our bewildered heroes would not just let this come to be. They assembled a crack team of warriors from across time to fight this alien mennace. An assassin from the provincial wars, a diplomat from Audentior, a mighty mage that lived at the height of the old Audentior/Jasonia war, a malfunctioning robot from the future, the first of Audentior's Magical Knights, a Jasonian royal guard, and a young woman with that could control time itself. These warriors, with the help of Jason, Bill, and Matt, opposed the alien race and put an end to their invasion through time and space. But in the end, they could not help feel... manipulated by some higher power. It was almost as if someone, or something, brough them together.

A year passed and Jasonia fell into decline. The awe Jasonia inspired faded away and people began to get irritated with eachother again. Most of Jasonia's lands broke free peacefully, but most fell into interal disputes. A worldwide recession shattered the economy. Most nations, Jasonia included, approved larger defense budgets to both police their own streets and prepare for the inevitable return to war.

And yet, in these dark times, strange things began to occur. Matt, who had founded a hightech lab after the end of the travels through time, confirmed the existence of parallel worlds.
