On January 20, 2028, the city of Mensong was abruptly placed under quarantine by the Ministry of Health for reasons that remain undisclosed. (According to a recent sneak peek in the discord server, showcasing a new PvE (Player vs Environment) mode, where shadowy figures seem to attack the player, likely results of the cause of the quarantine.)The quarantine was absolute, with no one allowed to enter or leave the city without explicit government authorization by the Ministry themselves or Casanova. Mensong is divided into four separate districts separated by massive walls and mountains. Each district have code names along with their official names that hint at the nature/theming of that district. The current gameplay takes place in the "Sombre" or "Blackout" District, being very crime ridden and having declining infrastructure. The Culminer (Opulence) District is mostly made up of upper-class residents and bourgeoisie, with the word French Culminer meaning to reach the peak of something. The Culminer District is implied to be in much better shape compared to the rest of Mensong, with those who live there receiving significantly more supplies than the other districts. The Canal (Spillway) District is heavily focused on trade and production to sustain its economy and likely has some sort of connection with water, whether or not it contains literal canals is unknown. The description of the RPG-7 states that it was a common weapon used in what were referred to as "Raiding Parties" in the Canal District. The Fleur (Blossom) District contributed to a large production of various crops and plants. After the walls were constructed, the supply of fruits and vegetables decreased dramatically, with only few being able to smuggle seeds and various crops, which is how the rooftop gardens in the Sombre District were able to be created.
==REBELS ==
As for the rebels, their exact origins are shrouded in mystery. We don't have a clear timeline of when they first rose to power, but based on the log titled "Mark of a Pen," we can infer that their influence was already significant between 2030 and 2039. The Sombre Riots, which are often cited in historical records, suggest that they are the oldest faction in the region 
==VULTURES ==
The Vultures, another powerful group, are confirmed to have gained prominence in 2034. However, their formation date remains uncertain. It's plausible that they emerged during the chaos of the quarantine, possibly as a response to the unrest that led to the riots.
==S.T.I.N.G. ==
S.T.I.N.G., or the Specialized Tactical Infection Neutralization Group, operates under the direct supervision of an enigmatic figure known as Casanova. While the exact date of their arrival in Sombre is unknown, it's likely they were deployed around the same time Mensong was placed under quarantine in 2028, suggesting a coordinated government response.
Currently, four districts are currently under quarantine: (only Sombre is playable for now?) 
*Sombre (Blackout)
*Culminer (Opulence)
*Canal (Spillway)
*Fleur (Blossom)
The duration of this quarantine is still unclear, but given the circumstances, it seems likely that the restrictions will persist for an extended period.
