It wasn't always like this . History books recall a time centuries ago when the land was green and water flowed acrosss the land. A time when food and water was plentiful. People used to laugh when scientists spoke of this 'natural' phenomenon known as Global Warming. Times are different now. Humans heard the warnings of dire consequences to our planet if they continued to pollute the only home we have, yet no one thought it would ever happen to us. Most of the world thought it would not impact them, so why worry?
Over six centuries passed, and the warming continued. Summers grew hotter, winters grew warmer, the land began to dry up. At first it was a slow process but toward the end of the 2nd millineum, it became almost unbearable to live on earth. The ice caps were gone, sea levels rose flooding most of the land and large cities of the world. Fires ravaged the land and people began to fend for themselves as the cities and industrialized nations collapsed into chaos. With most of the major nations of the world destroyed, chaos erupted throughout planet Earth. Without an economy or government to protect and sustain themselves it was everyone for themselves. Bands of humans stuck together and the areas with the last remaining pools of fresh water and ground wlels became coveted for the wealth they provided. Eventually the ones with the most fresh water and coastline ports for de-salinization plants formed the Kingdoms and new leaders arose after four centuries of conflict. One Kingdom, formerly North America and what was once known as the United States of maerica - AZKANA became the most powerful of the Four major Kingdoms of the Planet. Small bands of tribes developed among the ruins of old cities
