Before Times

The Before Times is a time period within Kepler that contains events from the 1st of January, 2020 through to the 19th August, 2020. The name derives from constant media coverage following PW3 and the Reslamic Reformation War, describing the events preluding the great war as "...belonging to a time before the war, similar to a 'Before Times'". 
The Before Times was marked by major worldwide fires, caused in part by climate change. The COVID-19 Pandemic simultaneously caused global social and economic disruptions, concluding around the time of the Niemet. This boosted Nuslim conversions and sparked conflicts in Phintian nations such as Fifiopia through the Tadray Rebellion and The CU through the Green Centep Rebellion.
