The world once again teeters on the edge of chaos, barely 27 years after The Collapse. Fear and hatred toward the **Caascals **intensify. Oppressed and hunted, they form a rebel collective in a desperate pursuit of justice, a move that triggers the first war of the New World.

28 AC. The Rebel Collective calls for peace. The Alliance responds with strict terms:

• No Caascal may ever hold high office;
• All Caascals must be trained in new state-run schools and use their abilities only for sanctioned purposes;
• Caascals will be publicly registered and monitored. Any Caascal who steps out of line is declared an enemy of the New World and becomes a wanted target;

In return, the Rebels demand:

• All Caascals be recognized as legal citizens of their birth states;
• The Collective be officially acknowledged as The Voice, with full authority over Caascal training and capability assignment;
• Research into Echo abilities continue without interference;

Both sides agree. This fragile peace becomes known as the Resonance Accord.

59 AC. As the annual summit of the Council of Nations nears, A young Caascal named Kairo, near the ruins of Riada, is ready to hit the road once again. Is he prepared enough?
