"Wars fought to obtain it, nations massacred to ensure they could not, the root cause of many problems it would seem."
Technological advancements have created a great many advantages to society as a whole, just as many technologies have robbed the world of these advancements possibly forever; The barren, indignifying, and pathetic experiences the bulk of the population suffers post-Schism are proof enough of that. Potions capable of regenerating entire limbs instantly, met with mortar rounds, missiles, bombs and grenades until all traces of it were erased. Time and time again war machines have trampled hospitals, men of peace are killed in brutal fashion as-if spitting in the face of those who strive for it. Any more than reluctant cooperation out of necessity an after thought, where collaborative efforts may very likely pull Everwealth and the world of Gaiatiia beyond it back from the brink; It would seem the only concern of eachother those in power have, are only the next biggest weapon to point at their neigbhors for supremecy. Not for lack of trying to restore or, very crudely, maintain remaining pieces of lost ages engineering; Many paying handsomly for a wide variety of salvage from the overgrown ancient cities hidden in the woodlands so long as the nightmarish threats also hidden there do not make them another bit of history lost to time.
