'''S POILER W ARNING : Plot details follow. '''

The Old Days
World has been floating in space for about 2500 years and at its dawn, both the planet and its inhabitants prospered. When World was sent into space for the first time, Severo Artax was chosen as the commander of the citizens, and in the beginning everything was fine -- until the supplies sent to them were finished. Agriculture was a rough concept at that time, moreover, only a few people knew how to grow food so famine has quickly become a problem. About 30 years following this event have been pure chaos. Severo was quick to address the problem by installing a dictatorship. Severo's reign of terror lasted for generations to come, his children taking after him and passing down his ideology up until The Blackout, 2000 years later. In this two millennium time span, Severo's descendants have oppressed the citizens as much as they could, taking away their rights and forcing them to work the land against their will.

The Blackout
The lights went out. No explanation has survived as to how or what happened, but the world was plunged into total chaos. Widespread panic gripped the populace and people began to fight each other. The Blackout was also a good opportunity for people to change the system. A chosen leader has stepped up to overthrow the dictatorship in the name of the citizens and was met with a fair amount of resistance from the current commander. Riot and bloodshed filled the streets for the next few years and the few people that survived found refuge in the Torch Valley. Torch City was built as a sanctuary, using the last scraps of remaining technology to power the city's lights. Society could not properly function soon after this due to the lack of fields to grow food on, as well as a general state of distress among the citizens. [insert leader name] has been chosen King as a result to the situation on World and he, in turn, has chosen a Council to help him fulfill his duties.

Torch Valley
Humans have been living in Torch Valley since the Blackout. At first, they tried to conquer back their world from the black, sending out expeditions into the darkness and hoping to find a way to reverse the Blackout. Few survived and even fewer came back, so the people of Torch City sealed the gates and vowed to never venture outside the walls again.
