Stillborn City's Timeline Time is calculated around the Great Happening--- Rebirth of City, or RC. BRC = Before Rebirth of City. The main story takes place 0028RC. ----GOLDEN AGE. Boundaries of the country are firmly established. | | | | | | | | -----125 BRC: A hyper-conservative group forms. Using (or, rather, misusing) the country's central religion as the foundation of their belief system (but distorting it with FEAR and ADDED DETAILS for their own means and purposes), they attract a small, yet very devoted group of followers (most of which are incredibly rich, or guilt-ridden magic users). | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -----57 BRC: The Order becomes supervised by a radical, yet charismatic new leader. His vision of a newer, even brighter dawn for the country attracts more followers. (srsly though he just wants power and to spread the influence of the group WHICH HE FIRMLY BELIEVES IN) | | -----45 BRC: Still, the numbers are small and their reputation in main stream society is laughable (BECAUSE LMAO THEY CRAZY). The Leader decides to orchestrate a grand scheme... A Great Happening. He becomes inspired and intrigued by the infamous (AND GROSELY INHUMANE) experiments on the SOUL and ENERGY conducted by Dr. XXXX (who was put on trial for CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, found guilty, and later executed in his home country). | -----39 BRC With dedication and gratuitious amounts of monies, the Leader finds records of Dr. XXX's research and passes it on to his scientist pal Dr. YYY to expand on. | | | | | | -----7 BRC: More monies are dealt, property bought, and new generators are secretly built at the underwater centre of the city. | ------ 0 RC: The Great Happening occurs. Mysteriously, thousands of people get turned into statues. -----A week later, the city begins to move by itself. The Order emerges, saying that God has purged the sinful (some magic users, big leaders, but mostly random folk) and that the self-sufficiency of the city is a sign of new beginnings. -----The Order gains momentum, and passes anti-magic laws, the Golden Age ends. | -----4 RC: Rebels are easily quashed. | | -----15 RC: Dr. YYY proposes a means to supress a practioner's magic (INSTEAD OF JUST MURDERING THEM). The Leader approves. Some of his followers do not. (While some just want more power heyy). Their leader is turned into a ghost, and Dr. YYY flees from the city and across the country for his life. -----The Order falls to shambles due to differing viewpoints. ----- The Leader now watches in horror as everything he has worked for crashes down and BURRNNSS before his very eyeessss. -----17 RC: Speculations and bad rumours of the government resurface. In panic, the Order shuts down the city's ghost-powered generator, attributing it to "God's punishment for the religion-less." People are sent to work again and consistently reminded of how awesome it was when shit was done for them. | ----20-ish RC: Nero enters this world, finds Victor, and gets him into politics. He rises in power quickly. | | ----28 RC: Under his (and Nero's) advisement, the ghost-powered generator is started up again and there is a huge spectable/festival about the city's "renewal of vows to God" or something. BEGINNING OF STORY HERE. |
