The Transience of Rebellion Part I: The State of Polity by SSHUK101

When a world rests in imbalance for so long, it is only natural that new rules shall form to justify its present state. Sins we cannot see diffuse into a history we can, until all rests on the shoulders of the abstract strawman of human nature. For years, Bennet was content to blame human nature for the failings of his peers in Parliament. So too was Lydia content to influence human nature through her political writings. The state of polity, for better or worse, was something they could understand. But things are changing in the world of Halrin. Sins, once unseen, have finally begun to surface, fundamentally altering any understanding of the present dogma. As the true nature of their reality emerges before them, Bennet, Lydia, and their companions must decide how to face this brave new world...
