Age of Darkness

History
The Collapse began with a massive solar storm on January 5, 2012. Massive amounts of electromagnetic radiation slammed into Earth, frying all electronics on the planet and creating chaos. Police and peacekeeping forces were quickly overwhelmed by the billions of confused and panicked citizens swarmed in and out of cities. Devestating fires tore through residential districts as firefighters looked on helplessly, their hoses and trucks refusing to function as the generators and engines lie in silence. Gun violence in both the cities and the surrounding areas end in the death of untold millions, while those without the ability to manufacture of find bullets quickly find their weapons become useless, devoid of ammunition. In the anarchy and chaos the ensued, several organizations managed to retake control, albeit at a heavy cost of lives. This trend continued for several decades, into the modern year of 2112, or 100AC (after collapse) in the common slang. Technology has fallen to nearly medieval levels in most places, with only the most secluded few remembering even the "possibility" of electronics. Fortunately, understanding of clockwork and gears is much more advanced than before.
