You are set in a not-so-distant future world. A world that has been plagued by conflict and war for almost two hundred years, the great wars only stopped within the last five decades. The only reason the wars do not continue today is simply because too many of the waring factions have been destroyed or conquered, and the human population is drastically low. And most of the human population has congregated into three giant cities accross the world.
This world has two giant continents on opposite ends of the world. These two continents are only known as the Alpha Continent and the Beta Continent. Only a few desolate islands are scattered amongst the oceans.
Alpha Continent is the larger of the two continents, to scale it is mostly similar to modern-day Asia. Alpha Continent has two giant cities on it. (These cities will take on familiar names from games or movies, just so they can be remembered easier)
-The first super city is known as Midgar. A thriving metropolis with its own unique powering system. Not a true military city, but it has minor defenses since it was one city of the major three that was battled for the most. This city is located in the north-eastern region of the continent and is the second largest city of the three. It has no true government, and only a minor military police force.
-The second super city is called Zion. Though the smallest city of the three it is easily the most well defended. This giant military base was founded by a cult-faction known as "The Senate". The Senate was created mid-way through the 200 years of war and believes in world domination... not a group to mess with. Their home city of Zion is almost invincible to any large scale military force, the city itself sports a giant wall surrounding the city that has large artillery cannons within the wall. The only known ways of getting into the city without Senate permission are through air-insertion or by sneaking in stealthy with small groups. Zion is located in the south-west section of the Alpha Continent.
The massive area between Midgar and Zion is almost a total barron wastleland, many bloody battles were fought on the Alpha Continent. These battles created the barron desert, and survivors gave it the name "The Desert of the Dead". There are rivers and small lakes scattered across the Desert of the Dead, but it still takes a brave soul to cross the desert. And its not just the heat that will kill you, small groups of drifters are known to lurk the desert like vultures... picking off the weak.
-The Beta Continent on the other hand is a more prosperous land. The continents shape is similar to that of a North America and its a land of tree's and grassy plains. Directly in the center of the Beta Continent is the largest of the three cities.
-The largest city truly has no name, its only known as The Super City. The Super City looks like a much large version of New York City, with large skyscrapers the city spans for hundreds off miles in all directions from the center of the Beta Continent. The Super City is visibile from space. Its governed by a democratic society, but does enforce its rules strictly. No true major battles were fought on the Beta Continent which is why the Super City was able to prosper as much as it did.

The Main Story.
----------
There was an ancient folk legend, a legend of a place called "The Valley of the Promised". And in this valley, there was something there called "The Element of Prosperity". It was said that The Element of Prosperity was granted to the first person to ever locate it, and the person who got the Element recieved the power of the ancient warriors who roamed the planet long before the 200 Years of War. Legend states that the man who found the Element of Prosperity would not be immortal, that he could still die by the hands of another warrior. And if the "Warrior of Prosperity" was to die the Element of Prosperity could either flow into the body of the man who killed the Warrior of Prosperity, or return to the Valley of the Promised and wait for the next person to discover it.
The only trick was that if the Element of Prosperity returned to the Valley of the Promised, the Valley would actually seal itself off and actually relocate itself to another place on the world. After the relocation, the Valley would remain sealed never to be discovered for another century.
It was rumored that at some point during the 200 years of war, one man managed to find the Valley of the Promised and was blessed with the Element of Prosperity. And folklore says that the Warrior of Prosperity led his army on a campaign to destroy the newly formed Senate. But the Warrior of Prosperity, in a grusome battle, was killed by a young head warrior of the Senate known only as "The Apprentace". The Apprentace knew the Element of Prosperity could enter him and grant him the power, but The Apprentace had a tainted soul within him.. and it reacted unusually to him and the Element returned to the Valley and was sealed away for another century.
The Apprentace was furious and vowed to live until he could find the Element again. A hundred years to the day have passed, and The Apprentace lived to be a very eldery man who could still give up a very good fight. Now it is said that The Apprentace is actually one of the head rulers in the Senate, known only as "The Senator".
Rumors recently have said that a small group of Senate infantry discovered some unusual mountains that werent recorded in any geographical maps. The location or even continent was never given, because shortly thereafter a group of drifters attacked the Senate platoon and both sides were killed in a bloody exchange. It is believed that now The Senate is searching for what they believe is The Valley of the Promised.

This is where you, the player, come in. You have heard this rumor of the Valley of the Promised. You can search for this Element of Prosperity yourself, help The Senate, or do whatever you want in your search for The Element of Prosperity.
If you believe folk legend is nothing more then fiction, you can freelance around the world doing what ever you please.
The world is at your fingertips...
Let the games begin.
