The Breach
===The Breach===
A long time passes after the Firekeeper, where humanity is augmented by minor occult power that is more well known than in some Fansii. But at some point in the later 20th century, humans decide to try and blow a hole in the Wall. Somehow, they succeed, and the following is a step by step account of what exactly happened:
1. # The Hours were eager to get back into the Histories and resume business as usual. The moment they realized there was a way through the Wall, they pretty much dropped everything to try to be the first one through, or at least get through before their rivals did.2. # They didn't have a clear picture of what humanity was capable of. What little they knew of the Histories came from what they extracted from the members of the Lost Expedition they captured. The descriptions they were getting from the terrified humans they were torturing/assimilating/eating and all around mind-raping wasn't exactly clear. They've been locked up for milleniae, so they didn't have a frame of reference for what they were hearing outside what they knew. The ability to harness lightning in every home. Metal wands that shoot instant death. Metal steeds that come to life when humans sit in them, carrying them wherever they wish. They went in basically assuming they were fighting an if not equally powerful opponent, than one that was scarily close to it for what a cattle race was meant to be capable of.3. # Shock and Awe. The Hours wanted to send a message to the whole of mankind: The Gods are The Gods for a reason. After they almost instantly annihilated the first City they more or less realized as one they weren't on an even playing field. This just spurred them on. Their successes either emboldened them or they just figured they'd already come this far, so why stop now. The only thing scarier that Mob Mentality is divine mob mentality.4. # The Long and Names likely maneuvered themselves into positions of power where they could subtly prepare humanity for when their "masters" returned.5. # Military and private security presences were probably tipped of where to go and what to do to get the drop on a few of the Hours' forces, or had bases or wards placed atop sites sacred to certain Hours. Not enough to actually hurt the Hours, but enough of an unexpected struggle they started slowing down as they assessed their opponents.6. # This would be around the time one or two New Gods from Blood popped up from the fighting, so the Hours rapidly started losing steam. 7. # This would come to a head when the Babylonians would effectively bluff the Hours into a ceasefire. (More on that under the Babylonians section)
===The Roads In The Mansus===
- There was a discussion on having Roads in the Mansus instead of doors, and in the end it was decided that the Mansus would be split into tiers.
