Events(Arc: 0)

Ruin:
After years of relatively undisturbed peace upon the island of Lellorium, the nation and its people were left shocked by an unchecked display of violence when the rising villain gang known as the 'Mad Hatters' managed to kill over twelve thousand people in a mass bombing, one that went largely unopposed by the local heroes.

Injustice:
Though the gang's leader Alice was captured soon afterwards, public outrage pushed the government to make a show of power by transporting her to trial in an armored convoy. This decision soon proved disastrous as multiple villains, most notably the vigilante "Blitzkrieg," made their move on the convoy in an attempt to kill Alice. Though all were eventually fought off and the convoy reached its destination, the remains of Alice were found dead in her containment cell under highly suspicious circumstances.

Villainy:
At the same time, the allied gangs of Gehenna spread chaos in Fhoster, overwhelming the region's law enforcement in an attempt to spread their influence. This effort was mostly repelled, save for the Dockyards area where Gehenna has established a presence.

Outrage:
A final villain attack, a rampage by the villain Lonsdaleite in Kelton that resulted in hundreds of casualties before he was killed, caused public opinion to turn against Lellorium's heroes. Things seemed poised to get even worse when the Broken-class entity Fractal began moving steadily towards the island. A new generation of up-and-coming heroes teamed up with a well-known veteran to plan a final defense, fighting both to protect Downtown and restore the reputation of heroes nationwide.

Redemption:
The battle was fierce, but thanks to coordinated evacuation efforts and some solid teamwork, the Broken was driven away with no civilian casualties and only minimal damage to the surrounding city. In its wake, public support for heroes has recovered somewhat, and a network of mysterious crystalline caverns have been discovered beneath Downtown.
