Earth's orbit has been perturbed, causing the planet to slowly move towards the sun for the past 93 years. The phenomenon was originally named Terrestrial Orbit Lapse, but is widely called the Lapse.
Scientists estimate that in 52 years the Earth will be so close to the Sun that life will no longer be sustainable.
The rising heat melted the pole glaciers sinking most of Europe and other parts of the world. As enormous waves of environmental refugees tried to reach safety, a new wave of colonization took place. Europe once more descended on Africa, forming the dominant Paneuropa. Since the first years of the Lapse, newly formed electromagnetic fields around the globe deemed all electronic equipment useless, sending the technological status of humankind back to the first days of the industrial revolution.
[
While the structure of human society is on the brink of collapse, the Eight Families keep a solid grip on power through their omnipresent Conglomerates. Self-declared rulers of Paneuropa’s city-states, they are battling for authority and influence until the very end. They control the army and the police and have created authoritarian regimes in most developed cities. Democracy is a concept of times past, dismantled for the “benefit of the people''.
In Neu Bonn, capital of Paneuropa, the Catharsis Wall encircles the lower castes in the Center, isolating them from the Citadel and the rest of the world.
