In the Late 19th Century, many years before The Event, the Government of the New World Empire, led by President Leonardo Wolfe, began to imprison the native people from the pre-empirical nation, also known as the pre-empiricals, for plotting to overthrow the Empire. The Government began to capture the pre-empiricals and throw them in special prisons. There they were abused and often killed. Anyone who helped them was sent to the prisons along with them. They tried to hide in secret rooms and abandoned buildings, but if they were found, their punishment was death. In 1892, war was declared against the Empire by a rebel army of pre-empiricals, led by the famous Alexander Benetton, and this war soon warped into one of the most horrific experiences in the history of the New World. The Old Machine Shop This building was at one time one of the largest known hiding places for pre-empiricals before the war. After the Empire began to imprison them, twenty pre-empiricals took refuge in the attic of this abandoned factory, including a pregnant woman named Alice Benetton, whose husband died in a pre-empirical prison. While living in the attic, they could only leave at night, when they couldn’t be seen. In 1871, while she was living in the attic, Alice gave birth to her son, whom she named Alexander Benetton. Brandon Peters, a childhood friend of Alice’s and a man from the Empire, discovered her location and sold the information to the government. The attic was raided in 1873, when Alexander was only two years old. Alice was killed in the raid, but Alexander managed to escape with Alice’s sister, Jane, who became his adopted mother. The Old Chapel This chapel is known around the world as being the first meeting place of the pre-empirical army. At midnight on September 19, 1892, twenty-two year old Alexander Benetton held the first pre-empirical war meeting in the Chapel of the Eternal Father of the Sea. The next day, a mob of hundreds of pre-empiricals gathered on the front lawn of the chapel and declared war, and then continued to lead a violent protest that would change history forever. In this protest, 32 members of the Empire were killed, and fire was set to the Empirical Courthouse. After this, Alexander Benetton became the Leader of the rebel army. In the years that followed, the chapel became the fortified base of the rebel army, and remained a key location in the war until it was ended in 1918. The Trailers After the war was launched full-scale, these buildings were used as an emergency hospital for wounded rebel soldiers. Unfortunately, the rebels did not have adequate medicine, due to both the technology of the time, and to the fact that most of the modern medicine was developed by the Empire, and therefore out of their reach. Between the years of 1892 and 1916, nearly 2100 soldiers had died from lack of proper treatment in these buildings alone. One of these ill-fated men was Alexander Benetton himself. In 1916, while storming an enemy encampment, Alexander received a terrible gash in his right leg, and was taken to this hospital. The cut was deep, and soon infection spread to his entire leg. He died three days later. After his death, his position as head of the army was taken over by his eighteen year old son, James Benetton. The Barracks These barracks were the main training centers for the soldiers of the Empire during the war. They lived, slept, ate, and trained in and out of these buildings. Also, their main headquarters and center of command was located there, which housed all official war documents and tactics. In 1918, James Benetton and a small group of his men infiltrated the barracks disguised as enemy soldiers with the aid of Edward Thornton, a lieutenant in the Army of the Empire who wanted revenge for the death of his half-pre-empirical granddaughter. From there, they were able to gather enough information to plan the final move that would end the war and ensure their victory. The Brick Shed After James and his small group of men infiltrated the barracks, Edward Thornton arranged for them to be assigned the duty of guarding President Wolfe’s mansion. Over the course of a month, during changes in shifts, they were able to discreetly dig a tunnel in this unused shed to a location off of the property. From there they carried out their plan. The Mansion April 23, 1918, was the last day of the war. That night at around nine, several men from the pre-empirical army travelled through the tunnel in the shed and arrived undetected on the President’s property. When they arrived, they met up with James and his men, and together they stormed the mansion. Their arrival was so sudden that they caught the soldiers off guard, and were able to easily overcome them. James knew that the thing the President loved most in the world was his eldest child, his daughter Jeanette. The small army of men found Jeanette’s room and took her from her bed. President Wolfe, upon seeing his beloved daughter in the hands of the enemy, surrendered immediately and offered James his position as head of Government. James became the leader of the reinstated Pre-Empirical Government, and the old President was arrested. Jeanette Wolfe was then given to the soldiers, and she was hanged on the porch of the Chapel of the Eternal Father of the Sea for all to see. Shortly after, Leonardo Wolfe died by refusing to eat.
