The world is the world: people live and die, political regimes rise and fall and changes in technology continue to astound us all... nothing interferes with the basic rhythm of things. The sun always rises, birds always sing and the next year always comes...
Or so we thought.
Things in the world seem pretty normal right now, though the world is only just recovering from a recession and people are a little more penny pinching than they were, you can rest assured that there are still enough greedy bankers in the world and that we still haven’t found a replacement for fossil fuels. The media is currently consumed by news of troops withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan and the latest X-Factor finalists, however as per usual there is still an appetite for more sensational stories. Across the internet there have been rumours of everything from the end of the world in 2012 and Obama being Australian, to flying cows and a strangely dressed catholic cult secretly being connected to the government.
As of 1st January 2000 the Black Order has been facing a crisis. Not only do the public think that they are a weird cult that is secretly trying to infiltrate the government but the disappearance of the current Bookman has left the organization severely weakened. Their knowledge of Innocence and the war with Akuma and the Earl is now limited to that of those who have served in the Black Order longest.
The Order continue to strive onwards with occasionally wavering support from the Catholic Church. Their main aims are to ascertain the Earl’s hiding place, continue to build their ranks and secure Innocence and to find their wayward Bookman.
