Information
In the beginning, there was the world, and the world gave birth to a species known as 'human'. The world was a wild and unpredictable place, however, and man struggled daily to survive against its harsh elements. Slowly, civilization was born as humans banded together to withstand Nature's whims. Villages, farms, and even cities appeared. The minds of humans gave rise to many new arts - Writing, calculating, inventing, even magic. As if Nature were acting out of spite that her own children were besting her, she unleashed a terrible cataclysm on mankind.
It was the Age of Winter.
Ice and snow crept to all but the absolute hottest lands known to man. Lakes and rivers began to freeze over, game became scarce, crops failed time and again. People were forced to retreat further and further into warmer climes or deeper shelters. Many feared that it was the end of the world. This was when the great divide truly began for a Kingdom known as Atlantis - the Land of Magic. Atlantis believed that by its magical strength alone, it would survive the Endless Winter. Under the rule of an ambitious King, Atlantis closed its borders and began the implementation of their great plan to turn the Land of Magic into a paradise, a triumph over Nature. Skirmishes broke out all around the small but formidable Kingdom of Magic, and bitterness rose sharply on both sides. The rest of the world feared the magical practices they barely understood, the Atlanteans resented the barbaric Clans that seemed to press in on all fronts. Many outsiders were even collected as slave labor for the construction of the Atlanteans' "paradise".
When it was complete, all of Atlantis ascended into the sky.
With the center of magical practices gone, knowledge of such ways became all but lost to the rest of the world. A very uneasy peace settled over the other lands, and the great winter continued to claim lives at a frightening rate. Many years passed.
Then, without warning, Nature's cruel attack ceased.
The Winter that was believed to have been without end began to recede, and life returned to the world. The generations that survived this hardship without magic seemed stronger for the journey, and a new peace grew between humans and Nature. The balance seemed to have been restored, only now there were two kinds of humans: The Earthbound, and the self-proclaimed Enlightened Ones.
It's been over a hundred years since the division of mankind. Now, a new threat looms on the horizon, one much more cruel than Mother Nature...

Introduction
Sailormoon : Gensis is a play-by-E-mail Sailormoon RPG with what's best described as a roughly prehistoric theme, with elements of history and fantasy combined to, hopefully, provide a unique and interesting experience. ^_^ It is set in the equivalent of Earth's ancient Mesopotamia, with all original Senshi (no Sailormercuries or Sailorneptunes ^__-). With no past lives to remember and a new, unknown threat looming over their world, there are many possible paths the story could take. Come on in and take a look, read about the history of this alternate world, then (hopefully) join up to play!
