Era of Change
Author: Furysetzer
Prologue 5�Surviving the Apocalypse
On the World of Ruin, all was desolation. The dread, destructive force of magic exploded over the planet & caused destruction. Humankind was swept away & not many survived. Those that did were scattered. A few towns were spared after the cataclysm. The time afterward was 1 of danger. Monsters�animals mutated from the magic�roamed the land.
A group of humans that survived were the same ones who tried to prevent the destruction. They failed, & found themselves separated across the globe. Through a series of quests & adventures, the heroes came together again. They find that the 1 responsible for the condition of the world was alive. He has barricaded himself within a gigantic tower. He has also stolen most of the magic of the world & captured it therein. Their way becomes clear. They must gather the remaining magic & assault the tower. To do nothing would sentence the world to a decline & slow death.
After overcoming many obstacles, they confront Kefka. Gone mad with power, he attempts to resurrect the God of Chaos. To do so, he nearly destroys the planet. Though through much sacrifice, they manage to banish him to Abaddon, realm of the dead. Triumphant, they leave to lead their lives in peace.
The world was saved, although magic disappeared. An Era of Change began to occur. What was once the World of Balance began to slowly emerge once again.
Many years have passed. Mankind has picked up the pieces& begun to rebuild. Peace between monster & human bred intolerance in time. Technology regained used resource, & that, in turn, required expansion. Prosperity for the humans meant a plundering & taking over of wilderness.
Those responsible for the expansion are at odds with monster kind. Seeds of war are coming to fruition. And as if that weren�t enough, a new menace is about to threaten the land�
