It is very important that those wishing to play are aware of this information. No matter where their character is going to originate from, unless of course they’ve spent the last 5 or so years underground away from everything or were in a coma for about that length of time. In short this is widely known information.
- In this Chronicle, in New York City and the rest of the Federated States of America, the Supernatural is not hidden, it is recognized and accepted by most people, and plain humans without any supernatural connection are distrusted and feared.
- The world is recovering at varying speeds from a war involving nukes, supernatural influence, and natural disasters.
- Most of Asia has been reduced to pieces.
- North Korea is pretty much gone, the few people who might still be there are living in a wasteland.

- Many of China’s cities have been reduced to rubble.
- South East Asia is also a wasteland.
- India and Pakistan are wastelands.
- The Middle East is a wasteland for the most part, with many cities bombed into non-existence. Though there is a very charismatic young man uniting the Middle East, or at least the Muslims and they are rebuilding the Persia of old.

- The countries of Northern Africa are recovering and rebuilding.
- The countries of Europe are recovering and rebuilding.

(For now.)
