Broad Act I Description

The world of Athria leading up to the apocalypse is diverse with flora and fauna. There are numerous sentient species, including humans as they are here on Earth. There are existing factions and social structures that segment the society as with any known society here on our planet today. Society is technologically advanced.

As civilization progressed, the sentient creatures of Athria were forced to make decisions and come up with creative solutions to problems they constantly faced. One of the prominent problems they faced was being overwhelmed by excessive waste. Much like our own planet, they suffered from over-pollution due to the wasteful ways of life on the planet. The humans came up with the solution to bury trash in the pits of an extinct volcano known as Veheran. However, unbeknownst to the inhabitants of Athria, Veheran was not extinct but merely dormant. When they least expected it, Veheran roared back to life and in one massive, cataclysmic eruption, and all of the waste that was buried in the confines of the mountain was thrust into the atmosphere. Dubbed “The Blight”, this toxic waste began to radically change the atmosphere. This continued to rapidly change to the point that the surface of Athria quickly became unlivable. Faced with this fact, the decision was made to hurriedly construct ships that could take their civilizations to the sky which brings us to our bizarro world.
