The year is 1242, but Earth is much more technologically advanced than current day. These technologies range from advanced sci-fi weapons to robots made for slavery. However, not all humans have access to these technological luxuries, and are stuck living relatively normal compared to how they would have actually lived during this time in history. This separation between people caused a split in the economy, and both sides have their own name. The wealthy people that have access to products involving pyro-mechanics and futuristic weapons and luxuries are called Pats, and the poor people, which are farmers and other middle class workers, are called Brutes. These names aren't too significant in the story, but they are used as insults between the two classes.
