In a world much like our own, everything played out as written in the history books. Rome collapsed. The French revolted. The Americas were colonized. However, during the peak of the industrial revolution, a world changing event shook the pen of history - The Great Merge.
In England, the sight known as Stone Henge opened an ethereal gateway, unleashing every conceivable Pandora's Box of mythology. Creatures, monsters, and beings from a myriad of mythologies, tales, and folklore roamed Western Europe, taking the mortal world as their own. Gods and goddesses drew their lines and claimed what they could take, crushing any mortal men that dared to question their reign.
After an inter-being war ensued, spanning the globe and having more casualties than any other previous or present war known to mankind, the lines had been drawn in blood.
Western Europe was taken by the Neo-beings, leaving the Americas, Russia, Asia, and the rest of the world to pick up the pieces of the bloodshed. The United Kingdom was taken as King Arthur's new Camelot. The Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway were seized by the Norse gods. Italy and Rome were taken by the Roman gods, and the Greek gods claimed mount Olympus in Greece. The lands and countries in between were free for the taking. They could either submit to any of the four ruling districts, or be crushed under their feet.
This story begins in Arthur's France, a nation plunged into a medieval era. We follow a Neo-being on the run, in hopes of arriving to America, but she will not be let go without resistance.
