Introduction

The year is 2113.  A "Great Plague" swept through the world nearly 75 years ago, with flare ups happening still in 2113.  A kin to the Black Plague, but this one many of the Native American, Gypsy, and Desert Dwelling cultures seemed to have stronger immunity to than other cultural groups, in part some scientist theorize because they had dealt with the same plague generations before.

Many great nations fell to the plague, but other like England, Ireland, France, Egypt, Mongolia have thrived...  England even tried to regain her colonies in the in the former USA after the nation collapsed.  Little did Queen Victoria II (granddaughter of King George Alexander Louis, the grandson of Princess Diana) know that she would be met with the revived Iroquois Confederacy, rebuilt Tsalagi Nation, and strong Seminole Nation.  Even  the Lakota Nation and Apache Confederacy of the prairies sent warriors.  So wisely Queen Victoria II signed a trade agreement, and left the new Native Nations in peace.  The Chacoian Confederacy and Dine' Nation at the time had been preoccupied with the Aztecan Empire in one of the Emperor's many attempts to invade their nations.

While the USA as it was known did fall, some of her larger cities and some of her smaller ones too, grew into strong city-states.  Among these are Wichita, the Air Capital, of the former state of Kansas.  Another is Chicago which had burnt down for a second time, and her Water Tower withstood for a second time and much of her Uptown survived. Phoenix, Flagstaff,  Albuquerque, and Gallup are boarder towns to the great Native Nations of the Southwest.  Other city-states exist, but are not well known at the present, as trade route are still in development.

It is this strange new world that the Orphans of Yetim dwell in...
