## Setting

The primary setting of the *Abnormalverse* are three main continents, Eirene, a modern-esq society, with technology a few years more advanced than ours, namely, holographic displays, and cyborg servants. Orion, a futuristic country which is ruled under a Communistic society, and Hades, which is a more "last century" setting, with dated technology. Eirene and Hades run under a "City-State" system, each city operating under it's own laws and regulations, Eirene has no cities operating under communist or dictator philosophies, however, Hades has several City-States which operate under communist rule, and Krocylea, it's capital city operates under a fascist government.

The Overseers operate as the police of the world, and the military, often taking up the load in conflicts across the globe. A prime example of this is The Spartan War, a decade-long conflict which saw the recruitment of several characters, including Troy, Emily Thárros, Maria Altheta, and Sal Passow. They're often criticized for their lack of attention in Hades, specifically the Wildlands, and Krocylea, as many citizens have cried out for help, and received no help.

The Blue Rose is a faction residing in the mountains of Hades, comprised solely of Abnormalities. In the century before *Serenity*, they were a revered people, but after several mishaps, including a failed prevention of an assassination, the untold casualties when trying to stop Collis in his quest for power, and their choosing of sides in the Spartan War, they've fallen out of positive opinion with the public.
