In the near future, Earth has to be evacuated.
Most humans accept the offer of friendly aliens to be digitalized and remade once a suitable new planet is found for humanity.
They arrive on New Terra.
A planet based on Earth, but with ten times the surface area of Earth.
Mankind has to start over and all that remains of old Earth are the digital archives the aliens brought over for them.

With ten times the size, mankind fractured into new enclaves.
Most governments failed to reestablish into their old form.
Since most deeply religious humans refuse to be evacuated, traditional religions fell away.
They give way to new kinds of religion. Based on the pop culture of Old Earth.

To make matters even more complicated, there is magic.
Or what scientists describe as intuitive manipulation of a quantum field.
Their lack of understanding leaves this phenomenon truly arcane.

300 years have passed and New Terra settled down.
However, in this strange new and twisted word, there are plenty stories to be told.
