The Old World that was there was all but wiped from the face of the planet, leaving only a few survivors. They survived in the wastelands that were created, and they banded together. Over time they grew stronger, they grew in number, and slowly but surely set about starting to reconstruct what had been lost. | + | > It is common knowledge that a long time ago there was an Event of apocalyptic proportions.

Indeed it is unknown how long exactly it was between the Event and the founding of the City now called Bastion, but it //is// known that the city was constructed to keep out the Monsters, so they must have been present prior to the city's foundation. | + | > It is a commonly held belief that the giant Monsters that roam the world were not present before the Event, but it is unknown whether the Event heralded the arrival of the Monsters, or whether they arrived some time after.

| - | > The Network states that the Arena was founded a while after the city. Most believe that its original purpose was not fighting of Monsters against each other, owing to a commonly held belief that the Monsters weren't brought under human control that early, but this is only speculation. What is known is that the Arena's foundations are intermingled with those of the City - every expansion effort on the Arena involves strengthening the city in some way. | + | > The Network states that the Arena was founded a while after the city.
