1.Originiums As the world was torn apart by Catastrophes of unknown origin, Originium ore began to appear.

With advances in technology, the power of the ore was harnessed to push civilization forward. But Originium ore also gave birth to the Infected...

2.Originium Arts After the discovery of Originium ore, people mastered a technique for the manipulation and transformation of matter using the power of the ore.

The technique came to be called Originium Arts, and often simply “Arts.” Whether a person can use Arts, and what forms those Arts may take is determined by both physiology and study in the field of Originium Arts.

3.Reunion A radical Infected organization, Reunion rallies around the cause of Infected nationalism, rejecting racial and national identities. They aggressively push for acquisition and exploitation of Infected power.

Reunion uses violence in their push for justice, having gone so far as to destroy an entire city.

This led to the intervention of a pharmaceutical company called “Rhodes Island,” the outcome of which is not yet clear.

organization formed by persecuted Oripathy victims. They rebel against the non-Infected and their oppressive societies.

4. Infected and Oripathy • Infected: Those infected by Originium Ore. The fatality rate of Oripathy is theoretically 100%. The threat of contagion remains upon the carrier’s death. Combined with the threat of dangerous, unknown powers, most countries have chosen to expel the Infected.

Left stateless, the Infected had no clear path to life. But recently, the Infected have begun to gather around the radical resistance movement known as “Reunion.”

•Oripathy: A malignant infectious disease. Patients will die soon after their bodies start to crystallize, and become new vectors of infection.

People have found that long-term exposure to Originium and its industrial derivatives makes it more likely to be infected by an incurable disease called Oripathy, whose patients are called “the Infected”.

Oripathy can increase the patient’s Arts power in a dangerous way, but tapping into this power will hasten the deterioration process and eventually lead to death, at which point the body becomes a new source of infection. Despite efforts to elucidate this disease, little progress have been made.

In some cases, the Originium

crystals inside the Infected can be destabilized upon death, causing an explosive chain reaction which turns the Infected into a “living bomb”.

5.Catastrophe The general name for a variety of frequent natural calamities, including but not limited to storms, blizzards, floods and even meteor showers.

Catastrophes occur frequently, but also at unpredictable intervals. Therefore, most civilizations can only hide from Catastrophes by moving the entire cities. A mineral called Originium can usually be found in the area after a Catastrophe is over. Studies indicate that Catastrophes may be actually serve as vectors for the spread of Originium.

6.Nomadic city These cities are built on special structures and can be moved. The threat of Catastrophe meant that every nation would need to be constantly on the move to avoid disaster, giving rise to this technology. The structures continued to expand as engineers developed new ways to add buildings and facilities to them, eventually becoming sprawling, mobile cities.

7.Rhodes Island The most advanced Infected research institution in the world, Rhodes Island is not afraid to employ the Infected. They are known to go deep into hazardous areas to take care of issues related to the Infected. They are currently working with many governments, corporations, and NGOs to uncover the causes of an Infected riot on an unprecedented scale. Your decisions will have a significant impact on how Rhodes Island will proceed.
