Agreed with Tyhm.
What's happened is this, as far as I can tell:
Bomy Moon falling has caused all sorts of chaos. Tsunamis, earthquakes, et cetera, destroy the advanced newmain civilization. Technologies such as the Clothes Changer, the Message System, and the cliff lift, and economic entities such as the market, the hat shops, and so forth, are lost to the sands of time. (However, diligent archaelogists can occasionally find a working copy of the once-ubiquitous Metris game) The bomies go mad. Humans flee to distant islands; eventually, attempts are made to reconstruct some of the old towns on the main island again; however, the names of many geographical features are evidently forgotten, and Bogenera is rebuilt in the wrong place, perhaps to protect it from killer bomies, killer mushrooms, rabid rabbits, and other horrors never before seen aboveground. The lavish private residences, however, are gone, replaced with small one-room stone edifices on the outlying islands. The kingdoms have reformed under new leadership: Dustari under King Charles Amelyn, the brother of Henry Barbarossa Nightrose the late Prince; the Pirates under Governor Girum Rivclaw, a wise and ruthless seadog; the Samurai under the name of the Bakugun Empire under Empress Rinko Alaster ((I think?)), who has served in a similar position in the past. The Zormites and the newly-risen Forest kingdom are in states of mild to moderate unrest, often having leadership retention problems, not a surprising thing for the Zormites.
The Gralat has fallen and the economy is in its greatest depression. The bizarre hats are burnt to ash and ripped to shreds.
The age of Graal as it was known is over.
Stefan smiles. It's going to be a fun era. |
