Editing Tribe 8 (section)

==The World of Tribe 8==
The setting of Tribe 8 is a post-apocalyptic version of Earth that has only recently largely shaken off the control of body-snatching hedonistic demons called the Zbri. In the mythologies of the Tribes, the humanity was created by "The One Goddess", but in the distant past they lost their connection to her and thusly to the River of Dreams, the source of magic. After generations of this spiritual disconnect, they forget their true origins and came to believe that the World of the Flesh was the only world, and built a great empire of machines. This angered the Goddess, and she sent the Z'bri to remind humanity of the World of Spirits, the River of Dreams, and Herself. However, whilst she turned her back to allow the Z'bri to do what was necessary, the Z'bri became seduced by the corruption of what humanity had built, now known as the World Before. They betrayed the Goddess and enslaved humanity, declaring themselves its gods. This led to the closing of the Fold, and the creation of the Camps.

But then the Goddess grew curious and turned her attention back to the World of the Flesh at last. Enraged by the Z'bri's betrayal, she sent the Wanderers to father eight children who would bear the holy essence of the One Goddess, called the Fatimas; seven daughters, and a single son - Joshua, the bearer of her wrath. The eight Fatimas liberated humanity from the Z'bri, after which Joshua sacrificed himself, as he no longer had a purpose. The seven female Fatimas took those of humanity who had learned the Goddess' lesson to the land of Vimary, where they promised they could live without want or strife. Each of the surviving Fatimas took a portion of the people to follow her, with one Fatima, Mary, being reborn as Agnes to symbolize humanity's new beginning.

All of this happened nearly four generations before the present day. The land of Vimary is actually "Ville-marie", or as we know it today, Montreal, in Quebec, Canada. The Tribals live in the western end of the downtown core. The Keepers live in and around the site of the 1967 Summer Olympics. The Fallen live on "Hom", the islands which now house Le Cirque du Soleil, the Montreal Casino, and the amusement park of La Ronde. The current explored Outlands extend west through to Rhanto (Toronto) and into the Canadian Praries, south to Hattan (Manhattan), northeast beyond Capal (Quebec City) and East out across the Atlantic to Sanjon (Saint John's in Newfoundland).
