AD 2145 – the ancient past catches up to our distant future.
After a devastating nuclear fallout, human survival took precedence over economic and technological prowess. Our entire network of infrastructure was lost or abandoned - and without access to the grid, society eventually became tribal once again. Scientific knowledge - which had once given us the keys to the physical universe - was now both feared and revered as a magical force.
Somewhere in the re-wilding countryside that was once Great Britain, history began to repeat itself. Those who could read the old texts learned of the once great kings and knights who protected the realm. Medieval chivalry was espoused, Kingdoms emerged, and reborn were our heroes: King Arthur, the prophet Merlin, and Morgan Le Fey.
