Trigger Warning: The game's theme takes place during a time of horrific social injustice and inequality. This is designed to give player characters difficult socioeconomic challenges and moral dilemmas in addition to normal adventuring combat and exploration. This is not designed to cast any dispersions or stereotypes on real-world events or peoples. It is a fiction meant to reflect the brutality of the real world, but not mock it. This is why the game is rated Mature.


INTRODUCTION
The world of Aether Spira was once like many high fantasy worlds. Historians often disagree over what exactly happened, but what is agreed is that a great Cataclysm occurred which purged most magic from the world except for magic items. Without magic, many of the beings reliant on magic for survival went mad and mutated into hideous beasts ravenous to devour magic items and anyone with the smell of magic on them. Even when the monsters started to go extinct, many wars were fought over territory and the remaining artifacts left after the cataclysm. The world was plunged into a Dark Age that lasted for thousands of years. Much of Aether Spira's history was lost during this time.

Eventually civilization began to recover. As people became more reliant on technology, they began exploring the world for more territory. New continents were discovered and plundered and colonized. A collection of colonies founded in the continent of Arcadia (aka the "New World") revolted against their kings and united under a new nation called the United States of Arcadia. This new nation was founded on a democratic republic, with no king or nobility representing the people; only the People representing themselves. The notion had been long forgotten in the dark ages and threatened the powers of kings across the Old World. Rather than risk a never-ending war across the sea, the kings abandoned their claims to Arcadia and instead sought to focus their attention on their less revolutionary colonies.

Fast forward a hundred more years and you're now in present day Arcadia. The Wild West, New Frontier, Manifest Destiny...or so that's the story being sold about all the unexplored territories beyond the eastern Arcadian coast. What adventures to be had out there in the unknown are for you to discover...
