The first nuclear weapon of the Atomic Age is detonated on an elven island in the Pearl Ocean.   Both sides are exhausted by a catastrophic world war. The humans of the autocratic Orthean Supremacy sign a cease fire treaty with the Allied Elven nations and a cold war ensues. Atomic weapons are poised to strike on the shore cities of the opposing blocs as world leaders advocate for both the return to normal world trade and the resolution of proxy wars.   The knowledge of magic expands at an unprecedented rate and marvels of technology are discovered every day. In a race to understand the true nature of magic, the great power Blocs now restart the expeditions to the great ancient towers that radiate the magical energy that powers industry, communication and warfare.   Has Globalisation put an end to the end of the world or merely delayed it...?
