A history of the Last world.

Some time in our future experiments in high energy physics begin to offer proof that consciousness manifests reality and that stories and propaganda shape not only peoples subjective  experience of reality but change the structure of the underlying fabric of the universe.  The implications are profound.  

Many governments invest great time and effort developing ever more sophisticated ways to influence the beliefs of their citizens.  Hoping to harness the power of belief to give them a competitive edge over rival nations.

Secret military research labs develop consciousness amplification devices for use as battlefield weapons.  These Aegis suits are designed to be piloted by bio-engineered pilots supposedly devoid of personal goals.  Interested only in following genetically programmed agendas and belief structures they are intended to warp reality in tactical combat situations giving the Aegis incredible speed and offensive/defensive capabilities.

However unforeseen consequences emerged once the aegis go to war.  The suits are able to amplify the consciousness of those in their immediate vicinity.  Soon the Aegis become rallying points for the soldiers with whom they fight.  The more faith the troops start to place in he Aegis the greater the power the suits and pilots are able to manifest.  Soon the Aegis are worshiped a gods and by their very nature this is what they become.

Unleashed, these newly minted deities battle with each other for supremacy.  The ever greater powers of creation and destruction granted as they gain more followers exert impossible forces upon the fabric of reality.  Time and the fabric of space are torn asunder and all continuity on Earth is lost.

A dark age of indeterminate length is to follow the Aegis War.  Knowledge of the technologies that unleashed this terror are all but forgotten as all life struggles to survive in a world with almost no constants.  Small tribes survive amidst the temporal storms the wrack the planet.   Eventually consensus and tradition start to bring a more stable reality into being and as the temporal storms die down and as the dust settles a new world emerges.

The Last World.
