The 97 years have passed since the moment my grandparents and parents arrived to this bizarre world. Millions of people from our world were trying to survive results of sudden cataclysms, they were exhausted and thousands of them were dying every day. My grandmother didn't like to talk about those times, she said our world was not a good place for people; thought she willingly spoke about how we got here, that people from our world found way to open gates to another worlds and they spend huge amount of time trying to find this one, as this one was the only one suitable for our bodies.

We were isolated on this island and we have not allowed other people to come to our lands. We had small fight, but strangers have never walked on our ground. Grandmother was saying we made a huge progress, she died five years ago. And the last time I saw her, she was not that generous, she was dissapointed. She could not imagine how people suddenly turned against each other and how did all the Civil wars started. the sudden civil war is sudden. it's not explained why you nation started to fight each other.
35 years ago we had First Civil War, that lead to the huge schism. The
