The Prologue

Fallout 3

War. War never changes. Since the dawn of humankind, when man discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood had been spilt in the name of everything from God, to justice, to simple psychotic rage. In the year 2077, after millennia of armed conflict, the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation. But it was not as many have predicted, the "end of the world". Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter in human history.
For man had succeeded in destroying the world. But war, war never changes. During the early days, thousands of people were spared the horrors of the holocaust. They did this by taking shelter in various underground shelters, known solely as vaults. This is the history of the world that has fallen from the nuclear holocaust.

From the new world

Sometime in the year 2011, an intangible power known as psychokinesis (PK) awakens in human beings. It was widely accepted by the public, and scientists who wanted to use this power for the benefit of civilization. Many people with this power began to emerge one after another during this time. It was a power that helped the human population with many difficult tasks. Until one day, one of the young men with this power used it to break into the homes of many innocent women to rape and kill them. The number of PK related violence began to grow at an alarming rate. This led to a collapse in societal order, as the growing PK users began to see theirs powers as a way to dominate those who do not have it. Human civilization began to decline as the people with PK continued to use their powers to bring tyranny and war to the world. As a result, the world which was populated by billions has seen a sharp decline in the number of people who lived during this "dark age". This is the history of the new world
