# History

The earth used to be a wonderful place, hard-working citizens, constant progress and evolution, a sensation that we could descrive as "peace". However the human greed evolved as resources started to become scarce, people started to turn onto-each other. The peace balance was broken and the chaos started to reign the globe.

The Global shortage of food supplies and basic services such as: water, internet, food, air and several others things, started to lead people into starvation. A lot of Coup d'état happened all arround the globe, some succeeded while other failed. In order to control the people the goverments started blaming each other for it's people misery with blant excuses like Climate Change, Air Pollution, Over Population, Engineered viruses, etc. 

However the day that everyone feared, in the year 2345 the day had come. A world war had suddenly broken down leading to tons of chemicals weapons being used along with nuclear bombs and nukes. As the war progressed the earth was in a constant change, until it turned into a completly hostile enviroment after the **Extinction Wars.** It was a synchronized attack led by China and India onto the pacific ocean. It is what everyone defines as the beggining of the end. 

After the so-called “**Extinction Wars**” the earth's shape and environment changed completely, with the continent's climate turning toxic and making it impossible for humans to live or breathe the air. The human race was perishing and it’s end was imminent, until an old science that people thought as extinct resurrected. People managed to craft a crystal who could be transmuted into anything using the energy that comes from the polluted air, snow, water, rain, earth and any organic material within the planet, this discovery led to the current popularity of Alchemy.

Following the true and only law of Alchemy “Equivalent Exchange”. “(...)Something cannot be created from nothing, and so in order to obtain something, something else of equal value must be given in return(…)”. Different civilizations emerged after humans learned that the “Onyx” can be transmuted into anything they wanted. Humans started crafting objects, food, water, weapons, houses, vehicles and anything that they imagined with a fast growth. The “Onyx” became the new global currency and is used worldwide to trade among the different nations.
