“We, the people of this abused planet, have been dealt our final hand. Our parent and protector has been callously ignored, unforgivable exploited and cruelly injured by our own follies and designs. We are the harbingers of our own reckoning, and we must begin anew. We have survived the passing of Tech Age, and though our losses are great and terrible, we must hold on and now work to restore this wounded home. All artificial idols of the past are to be purged, so that we may purify our souls and live in harmony with Nature.”

This was the creed of the Devos, as they destroyed, burnt and buried anything moulded, made or manufactured, systematically reverting civilisation to a medieval state. But still, even in its new guise, modern man could not give up its second renaissance. Though fur and linen were now the mainstay of the fashion world, men and women still eagerly anticipated the latest designs from Siberia, Mongolia and Tibet. Electric instruments were now but memories and songs, but those memories and songs were reborn in the acoustic folk music movement that coined the new phrase “Wood and Roll”. Worldwide Health Organisations dissolved with the loss of communication, but cells continued to operate in all corners of the planet, helping to fight the outbreaks of asthma, broken bones and heart failure as men, women and especially children were forced outside to find food, friends and entertainment. The games industry barely skipped a beat with their debut Organic Onslaught, a fun afternoon's blood, sweat and tears for four to eight players who hit each other with Stix(c) and threw Rox(c) at their opponents. The sequel featured the mighty Stix 2.0, with a specially sharpened point for extra thrills, and super heavy Rox for multiple kills with one toss.
