Core Narrative 2

It is 500 years after the cataclysmic event that has reshaped earth (turning it into Terra Nabia). The half of the people survived on land have built large floating fortresses much like ships, welding every piece of scrap metal they can to make room for the growing population and protecting themselves from the now harsher elements. The blast gave some the ability to adapt rapidly fast. The ones that were not able to survive on land were forced into the water where it was thought that no human can survive. These people did survive, and were now named the Aquari.
