Note: Despite the steampunk tag, this is more a fusion of the 1950s-esqe retro sci-fi, dieselpunk and a little standard sci-fi sprinkled on top
It has been a millennium since mankind fell upon the fires of judgment, and precious little remains of the world that was. We know it as The Great Cataclysm, an enigmatic disaster that tore continents asunder and erased all we had accomplished. Many tell interpretations of the event, and precious few clues have been gleaned from the scattered remnants of the old world, but in the face of time it seems the knowledge of what led to the terrible reckoning of our past is all but lost.
However, this ignorance has not chained nor deterred us, we have simply rebuilt our world anew. A thousand years it has taken, but we stand poised to reclaim the glory of our ancestors.
Memories have faded and tales have become distorted, but we know this as truth. Once the Earth was the beating heart a great Empire, spanning worlds just like our own. Once the very the stars above were ours to rule. Known as the Golden Age of Man this time before The Great Cataclysm is the common thread that binds together the nations of the world, for they all aim to emulate its grandeur.
The Age of Darkness that came after our reckoning has past, no longer do we squabble like barbarians, no longer do we divide ourselves into petty tribes. Out of the plethora of warlords that fought for supremacy in the Age of Restoration came the first kingdoms of the new world, and out of those kingdoms we have formed the enlightened nations of the modern day.
Over a Millennia had passed since the war, and while much has been lost the order of this Earth has slowly, but surely been restored As one we stand ready to make the final push into greatness, into a second Golden Age. Or perhaps, we stand ready to repeat the mistakes that damned us before. Mankind is quick to forget the sins of the past, and our boundless avarice may yet bring war to our scarred and changed home once more.
It is the year 1520 of the Restoration Calendar, and the leaders of today will set the stage for countless generations to come.

Welcome to New Dawn Rising, an NRP set in a Post-Apocalyptic(well, rebuilt) Earth in the very far future, now with a 1950's-esqe spin to it. After centuries of chaos, Order on earth has been restored, giving rise to new nations on this Changed Earth. Not only have land masses sunk, but the the environment has gone a bit wonky as well.(Or just as they were, up to you)
In the new world, baseline Humanity are not the only ones to control the planet, human offshoots and various other races have emerged, all descendants of an age of heavy genetic modifications and engineering, be it common civilian technology or military and corporate experiments set loose.
