Doc’s return from the Tsarrus brought both joy and sorrow. His children were growing up fast, and he’d missed their earliest years. When he finally made it back to Furden and his family, he soaked in the love of his wives and the excitement of his children. Doc finally had something he’d always yearned for: a full family.Even with that joy, things were still moving toward confrontation. The Church of Apoc was mobilizing the entire nation to stand against Doc and his “false religion.” Doc and his allies weren’t ignoring the growing threat, instead making plans of their own. Everything kicked off when the Emeritan government tried to seize Doc’s businesses and assets. The plans were pushed forward, and the western states declared secession, making a new government in Western Emerita.Even worse, that wasn’t all. The church again tried to assassinate Doc, but failed to account for who was in the carriage they’d targeted. The Driver brothers— who’d been driving and guarding it— died in the explosion, as did Sequoia, Ayla, and Ginger. Ayla’s gifts from Doc brought her back, but that still left the others dead. That heralded a long-standing Dwarven proverb: “a good man went to war.” Bereft of his wife, Harrid took up arms, guiding his templars to be the bulwark of Western Emerita against the army of Eastern Emerita.Even with the military legends of Lee, Grant, Jackson, and Pershing leading Eastern Emerita, they found themselves devastated. None of them had faced Mother’s children united. Led by Rosa, the dryads were on every battlefield, crushing artillery emplacements and giving Western Emerita a steep advantage. In the end, Eastern Emerita petitioned for peace and retreated across the Big River.But not all was settled— the Pontiffica was still alive, having crushed War’s new Voice. Knowing that the gods were moving, the Voice of Darkness would begin to lay his own plans. Emerita might’ve found an unsteady peace, but the world was in for something it had never seen before.

Doc made his way across the west, spurring the Church of Apoc to attempt to bring him down even more. Dodging inquisitors and forging deals across the western states, Doc eventually got discovered in Kanata. In the great white north, Doc and his local allies fought one of Apoc’s templar orders. A sniper killed Doc, but his gift from Luck brought him back to life. Knowing he would only be hunted with more vigor, he took the hard road: leaving Emerita’s shores behind to find sanctuary with his allies in Tsarrus and Qin.With only Lia and Rosa beside him, he spent five years overseas. Even there, he faced the occasional assassin, but his gift was able to save him again and again. While the church tried to remove him, Doc’s family and allies in Emerita solidified their hold on the west of Emerita.Fiala, Sonya, Sophia, and Ayla were all in Furden raising their children. If not for the dryads, they wouldn’t have been able to hear from Doc at all, but thankfully, Mother’s daughters passed messages for them, giving them some contact over the years.Finally, the plans Doc had set into motion years prior were ready. Returning to Emerita, Doc’s first real stop was Golden Bay; from there, he’d catch the trains to Furden to see his family. The church knew they were losing the western states, and they were willing to take drastic action. The road Doc walked would take him through fire, ruin, and death, not just for him, but for his closest friends.With blood and pain looming over the horizon, Doc was sure he knew what was coming, even if he hoped he was wrong. Earth had seen the breaking of the Union between the north and south… and Emerita might very well see something similar if the Church of Apoc kept trying to kill him. Read more

Earth's governments and militaries united to try to shift Wormwood's path. Earth launched every nuclear missile she had and succeeded in changing its path, just enough to miss her surface. In doing so, shards from the asteroid, caused by the nuclear blasts, struck the earth. In those shards were spores that caused a change in all forms of life. Wormwood also changed Earth's magnetic field, affecting weather patterns and causing earthquakes and tidal waves.The devastation caused society's collapse. Only the strongest survived the Great Dying. In the years that followed, mutations began to appear in animals and people.
