Good Intentions Paving Company

What does the high-tech, post-apocalyptic future of a fantasy world look like?The Year:1802, and the world thrives with 9.4 billion humans and anthroposi (animal/human hybrids) at the height of a technological renaissance… but monsters, magic, and miracles still persist 900 years after the death of the Gods.The Place:Retrotia! This country’s 5 states boast the largest population per capita with the happiness ratings to prove it! Sprawling from shore to shore with cutting edge biomechanical jungles, it’s a verdant tropical paradise that attracts tourists and prospective residents from all corners of the globe! Socialize with the rich and famous over high-end skill games on the beaches of Noxia, take the family across the frozen food vineyards and historical sites of Grandin Valley, or live in the tree towers of Illustyria where you may never need touch the ground again!*Note: Tourists are advised to avoid the state of Ursafell as you will be conscripted. All non-citizens, please allow a 2-week allergenic acclimation period to avoid attacks from territorial street lighting.The People:Gio (a cat) and his little brother Gomph (an elephant) are the last 2 agents of a secret monastic central intelligence cult that belongs to no nation. Dedicated to the dead Goddess of Truth, for almost 20 years the brothers have exposed war criminals, hunted terrorists, and trafficked information. After a long watch in hostile nations the brothers are hoping for a quiet excommunication, and a chance to get lost in the jungle cities they grew up in.The Problem:Their grandmother and Matriarch of the cult, the giant spider, Wynesstria has other plans. She’s heard whispers of an agent from the Sanguine Court (a shadowy terrorist group) attempting to traffic black market magic. Not just any magic either, a wish from the dawn of time people call: The File on Everything that can give its user all knowledge. And the buyer? AggriMedical, the last surviving corporation of the Acquisition War and current lobbier in the senate for ownership of the state of Greenhart. With the stability of Retrotia’s fledgling union at high risk… it doesn’t look like Wynesstria is willing to let the brothers off the hook.Is Gio and Gomph’s final mission a set up for a violent retirement? If they can get the File on Everything will they stay loyal to a dead Goddess, or use it to pave the road to a brave new world?*Note: It is considered highly illegal and dangerous to use or engage with magic.
