Macro-Story

Make up whatever story you'd like to endure the truth, but an immutable facts are that "The Engineer" and the needle, yes there is a needle, is actually a mysterious thin monolith adamantine-hard shard of an grotesquely shaped vantablack obsidian meteorite that shot right out of the unimaginably pressurized dark mass of gravity vibrating black holes at the center of the galaxy. It moved through space at an incalculable speed due to the raw and misunderstood power of gravity itself like a supersonic jet moves through air breaking the sound barrier until it impossibly struck and stopped midway through our planet causing an intense yet unique gravity wave shock that traumatizes the "memory" of local spacetime causing it to reset itself at a speed of half a truti. This also resulted in a violent hurricane forming around the giant black obelisk-mountain that seems to have risen up out of the Pacific just west of America in an instant in a slow fading flash of a pillar light, as well as numerous perpetual storms, power grid failures, magnetic abnormalities and earthquake occurrences around the world. There was chaos for a period until The Engineer and his team of followers put an end to the abnormalities and ushered out the power hidden in the new vibrations in the world around us that was never the same when we saw the sun again. Now, in the hoplessness that ensued from the storm of abnormalities, the men and women who had reverted back to older and older pagan ways in religions as old as the pyramids, the scientists of the day that hid in mountains performing endless observations like Indra watching the world change, and the mentally unwell who had become far more sensitive to the world in between the vibrations (and had unified visions of a mountain continent in the sky called Meru) had all taken on a change.

The Engineer had discovered something new about the world and sought to demonstrate it to those who could see.

The Obsidian-Obelisk came to be known as The Needle. Term coined by the American gov as they attempted to once again seize control over a nation wracked by a fear mankind has not felt since days of Jericho. They seek to find a unifying factor with witch to further their cause. Religion is a sharp tool.

The people are seeing the rise of individuals claiming that the needle has rewoven reality itself as a blessing to further our evolution and they claim to understand the way of this new reality. Some of these individuals have manifested strange, wondrous, or frightful powers of an ancient kind. Some appear to be taller than a human ought to be.

The south sees this as a rise of the truth of the magic of voodoo and some among them take on powers in alignment with this mythology , the west takes on abilities and social attributes similar to that of buddhism , and the north will manifest powers and insights within this spiritually awakened world in alignment with hindu mythology

Fast forward to the next "period", and the gov has taken on vodun as a national religion as a way to finally unify and control the country under a set law dictated by their own developed interpretations of vodun spirituality that they clam is derived from the knowledge of the Needle, which is now as much part of the world as Everest (but hardly anyone is allowed into the pacific anymore without authorization from the "Muwa-American Shamanic gov."). No one talks about Hawaii (or Alaska) though they're definitely still there.

And so now for lack of wanting to know much more about what secrets the universe may still hold for them, we have this storyworld of an America bathed in chaos with the glow of a fighter future.
