Been super-busy but got an intro post:
Quote:
A raging forest fire starts with a single spark.
That simple, elegant phrase encapsulates how World War III started. A single nuclear attack from religious radicals reignites a millennia old conflict. Soon, nuclear missiles are launched in retaliation and with that, other countries feel obligated to defend their allies. A full-scale nuclear exchange is soon underway. Millions die and many of the world's premiere cities are reduced to little more than burnt out ruins. But blind fanaticism and hate that raged for millennia rendered the reason impotent even in the face of atomic fire. Soon, radicals on both sides determined to utterly eliminate all traces of their rivals turn to the ultimate taboo.
Biological and chemical warfare.
Exotic chemicals and synthetic gene modded diseases are unleashed by all sides in an attempt to purge the earth of their enemies. But these new introductions to the environment and the radiation lingering from the nuclear weapons all combined to introduce a whole new element to the survivors of the war.
Humans were no longer the only sapient species. Birds and reptiles have become sapient and sapient raptors and theropods now walk the Earth. But this unintentional chemical and radiation induced uplift and revival was imperfect; they and their future offspring would forever be incontinent.
Humanity has irrevocably changed. Only in the most isolated pockets of the world has the old world remained. But for the others, they must learn to survive in this new world alongside their new sapient fellows.

What do you think?
I'll try to get everything started tomorrow. I just need a title.
