Carmen Civium

Following a global conflict previously-unheard of magnitude and impact, the world becomes unified under a single government - the Quintet Council - after the scale of the war leads five persons to believe humanity incapable of governing itself. New world order, with the introduction of the Animus system, reclassifies humans into two groups - the Tollo, the "lifted", grey-eyed individuals, genetically enhanced to be superior without the faults of human nature, and the Cives, ordinary people - a necessary precaution, in the mind of the Quintet, to be the next step in humanity's evolution. The Nox Revolutionary Army, however, would say otherwise. Owen Nox, who claims to be the only one who understands the path humanity needs to take for self-preservation, sets to abolish the Animus system. While setting the world on fire would be the last thing they wanted to do in their struggles, the revolutionaries would discover by the end of their travels that things don't always turn out as expected.
