The future, 2400, is not the technology abundant world we imagined it. Flying cars and artificially intelligent robots aren’t given a second thought when you have to use every brain cell for survival. In 2409, Crimson Fog, one of the largest, strongest gangs, had some trouble with a group who believed themselves to be ‘gang resistance’. A small group of idiots who wanted the old ways back. After a few deaths and plenty of beatings, they surrendered. Two orphans were left with Crimson. The Crimson Orphan, Jax, sixteen in 2423, was raised to become one of the world’s best gunslingers. One of her greatest challenges was high school.

The five cities of man surround the Sea of Dekatos. The ancient city-states are filled with towers, stone pyramids, soaring catwalks, arching bridges and jade castles. The bronze age men and women fight, love, war and conquer against the backdrop of five massive, sprawling cities. Char, city of chariots, deploys her army in the nearby deserts. In Yang, where nightly winds blow in gusts of hot sand, they raise an army of heavily armored footmen. Bowmen of Lau Cing, with copper weapons and bronze chainmail, train to fight even during heavy desert storms. Formations of swordsmen pour from the pagoda's of Hecai while Anshi fields a legion of grim, dedicated female warriors. The city-states wage constant war until a new enemy threatens. Blue scaled aquatics rise from the sea, water streaming from their iridescent scales, and the five cities face a new and more terrible enemy.
