Sordid Dystopia

Postby Zombzeh Nayt-o! on Sun Sep 06, 2009 1:27 pm

As mentioned several times, the new setting for Utopia has been named "Sordid Dystopia," but is generally just referred to as Dystopia. Obviously, this is a better description of the world than Utopia. These two worlds are the same. Utopia is what we've had, and Dystopia is what it becomes. Most plots on Utopia are happening between fall and winter of the year 5143 AC. Pay attention to your timelines, because Sordid Dystopia is a global change-over as of the spring of 5144 AC. When looking at it, it seems to present a timeline problem, but don't worry. It doesn't. Continue with what you've been doing on Utopia in your respective boards, if you'd like. The existence of Dystopia doesn't alter that (for example, I intend to continue all of my plots without alteration).

The easiest way to do this is to assume that Utopia is the world's past, and Dystopia is the world's present. Or, if you don't plan to partake in Dystopia just yet, assume that Utopia is the world's present, and Dystopia is it's near future.

Now, regarding Sordid Dystopia . . . its plot is purely post-apocalyptic. One can start at any time they like, so long as it does not go below mid-Spring of 5144 AC. By mid-Spring of that year, many civilizations have been eliminated by both geological disasters and the terror caused by the creatures of light and shadow. Even the others realms have been effected by the series of months that most characters will know as "the End." The global plot will elaborate further upon this crisis; until that point, though, this brief explanation will have to do.

Nations that are not listed in Dystopia's planetside can easily be assumed destroyed. OOCly, this cleans up the clutter of numerous inactive nations. If you have a forum that you wish to continue through the future of the world, and it is not listed in Dystopia's planetside, feel free to let us know. We ask, however, that you do not abandon it and leave it inactive. Board clutter was one of our problems on the last site. So, please, before you request a board to be made, be sure that you're going to do something with it. Otherwise, it may be easier on you to just carry the particular plot through threads in the Ruins, the Uncharted Islands, or the Uncharted Territories.

Numerous global plot organizations have been effected, too. The Guardians of Utopia and the Dirige, for example, are vastly different in Dystopia, with the former bordering on non-existent.

Please direct any questions to me, either in this thread, by private message, or by messenger.
