-The World-

The world of Xiantronis, far in the future of 2985, has become a barren wasteland. The outside world is a desert of scorching sand and mutated beasts that were once beautiful creatures. The remainder of humanity takes refuge in a city simply known as the Bastion. What was once in the past a thriving fantasy world of monsters and magic has turned into a corporate dystopia of Heroes and Villains, all run by the organization that simply calls themselves Savior.
