Recent History

2100 Onwards
The 2100s and the first half of the 2200s were fully survived below ground, all people who attempted to live above ground in the known world ultimately perished, even the most equipped to survive had not chance. The average temperature during this 150-year period was -85C (-121F), which was until this point, itself the lowest temperature recorded on a ground location on Earth.

2260s
Over the course of the last decade, humans travelling to the surface in the hopes of locating food and other much-needed supplies surprisingly find out that in many regions around the world, it is possible to survive above ground once again. While it is that initially, there is almost no violence between people above ground, many curious individuals venture above ground and decide that they never wish to go back below it, slowly filtering in the less favorable of society and creating further hardships due to the increased harvesting and collection of food and other resources. These people would come to be known as the ‘first generation’ of surface dwellers. Only what they learn or discover is accurate knowledge on the rest of the world, both meaning the above-ground, and in "foreign territory".

2270s
During the 2270s, large amounts of every imaginably resource was looted, used, or destroyed by the flocking to the surface of starving or freezing tunnels, making a large number of those surviving above ground, effectively unorganized and unaffiliated groups who had little chance of survival.

2280s
The 2280s were a major step forward to surface survival, with the first major, wide-spanning factions being formed. This included the Med' Gildiya, amongst numerous others. It is however at the same time, many major bandit groups could be seen forming, as it was just as easy if not much more so to simply steal from the success of others.
