Most things, in fact, were. How? Because there was a war...a war to preserve their own species, and time seemed like a silly thing to measure. So instead everyone picked back up the practice of keeping time after the Council was formed. It is currently 127 AP (that's After Pandora for you out of towners) and we are on the third Council since it was formed, with some Council members from the second Council still on it of course. Technology does exist, and it exists in the same state it always has...with laptops and cell phones and cars and all that good stuff that was left over from humanity. It hasn't been important enough to advance it further. We do just fine with what has been left for us. However, at the same time, the world has managed to revert to a sort of old-time feel, even with the technology. Older values have been embraced in order to help humanity, such as walking being more prominent than driving and divorce/adultery being discouraged. Religion is strictly to the Gods, because those were the creatures that created the beings that now walk the earth. Some dedicate themselves to one strict God, but mostly religion has also reverted back, but this time to a polytheistic time. The cities listed, Pandora, Chiaro, Nox and Umbra, are all that remain on this continent and most people never bother leaving their continent. It's a smaller more intimate world...and it can be a dangerous place...but no one ever said it'd be easy... template by eliza @ shadowplay |
