Chapter 5 Season 1

Lore & Background

Following the collapse of the previous reality, the Zero Point stabilized into a new configuration that birthed this distinct island. The terrain is diverse, ranging from snowy peaks to industrial zones connected by an extensive railway network. Beneath this surface lies the Underground, a metaphorical and literal space where outlaws and agents operate outside the law. The Seven re-emerged as the primary authority figure during this period, attempting to bring order to the chaos left by the Imagined Order's previous experiments. Their influence was felt through new locations like The Citadel and Lavish Lair, which served as hubs for their operations. Players were drawn into conflicts between these factions, often acting as mercenaries or agents within this high-stakes environment.
