'What a Player Should Know', found here, gives players a general idea regarding how the land of Gaia's Wake has come to be. Now that havoc has been wrought and the dust has settled, you're probably wondering how your characters fit in. May include links to relative roleplays.

Rebuilding
It has been 3 years since Rebirth. Humanity has just now began to reclaim its bearings on a once-familiar world. Much of Torn (North America) is completely leveled, save a few spare cityscapes. A shady organization called the MCC (Miracle Colonization Corps.) has taken control of Miracle, the First City (once Chicago), under the leadership of a man who calls himself King Crown. Outside of Miracle, explorers search for other civilizations yet untainted by human dictatorship, creating their own communities throughout much of Dried and Uncharted. Withered is basically uninhabitable, making it a prime location to search for pre-Fall artifacts, which comprise the currency of Gaia's Wake. The primary goal for all people is to establish stable living and decide their place in life, and work toward the long-term goal of reconstruction.
Religious Fervor
People of all religions are naturally disturbed by the revelation of the Goddess Gaia. Though a great many people have simply accepted Her as the supreme deity, others believe she is Satan in disguise. Communities all over Gaia's Wake have split into two general groups: 'followers' of Gaia, who are usually not devout but simply believe in Gaia because of her obvious presence, and those who believe her to be a malicious force in direct opposition to the "old Gods." There is the budding tension of religious separation all throughout Miracle. Many have made it their life mission to find truth, or rather, defend their own biased beliefs to the end. Decide for yourself what is correct.
Events
Storefront Strike - Disgruntled citizens of Miracle have banded together to protest the skyrocketing prices set by opportunistic shop owners.
