CtS is a unique writing group geared towards older teens and adults. We work towards creating a safe environment where people can have fun and collaborate to make a group that isn't run by just one person or two or three but by everyone. To find out more about us, please feel free to look around or pop in the c-box at the bottom of the page!

CtS takes place in the near future in a world where people are dealing with destruction brought on by humanity's greed. Trying to renew the rapidly declining resources, they dug too deep and woke those who should never have been disturbed. The world is now a very different place - one of survival and war. If you have any questions about our site, please let any of the mod's or myself know. Our contact information can be found by clicking our names further below.


It is Fall in the year 2082.
Things have settled down since the breakout. The Artemis Project has been launched to hunt down the escaped tainted, most people are healed from the battle and long term plans are starting to be formed. Romford is quiet, except for the random acts of violence that seem to be getting more and more frequent - many of the tainted were not meant to be freed and for good reason.
The City of Romford boasts a population of nearly 680,000 - most of which are humans which does not sit well with the Psionic government. Storm Heights Aerie has 45 dragons and New York has 65, making it the larger of the two as well as the most progressive. The Village of Mapiya has only 425 people but a strong foundation.

Hudson Street and Alleyway

Hudson St. is one of the last places that Humans can call home. Run down, with buildings that have been built and rebuilt to the point the street is cramped and ugly. Those who live here are openly considered rebels, attacked by both Psionics and Dragons alike. Patrolled regularly, the Psionics simply just do not have the numbers to flush out all the discontent but they do keep them well controlled. In this district, the laws are less strict but the living conditions are very poor.

Crown to London Street

The four blocks of Crown, Denver, James and London Streets make up the housing for the vast majority of the middle class. 98% human, this area is devoid of decoration but the tall complexes are well maintained and reasonably spacious. Single apartments each contain a bathroom, bedroom and small kitchen. Married adults with children have separate complexes with slightly larger apartments to suit their needs.

Municipality Office

This building is one of the largest and most ornate buildings in North Romford. It is the beating heart of the city since within its walls, all the comings and goings and important decisions are made. Most of the building is designed for taking care of the menial tasks of running the city such as assigning jobs and housing.

Romford Security Intelligence Service

As many know, Romford was once a suburb of New York and the city’s security was formed from the remains of an old intelligence service that once resided here. A generation has passed and RSIS now handle all policing under Urban Security [US], large scale actions and planning in the Dedicated Defense Network [DDN] and intelligence and internal investigations in Municipal Protection [MP].

Saks to Apple Street

This district is quite varied, providing housing for a vast majority of the Psionic population. From standard housing apartments that are comfortable and spacious to large scale mansions, the blocks between Saks Avenue and Apple Street cater to a large population.

Satinus Ruins

Plenty was cleaned up after the raid but there was still a lot that was forgotten. The ruins are dangerous, some plots of land are ready to fall into the tunnels at the slightest pressure but people still come around, looking for treasures, avoiding the odd creatures that lurk in the shadows. Rejected experiments rule here, especially after dark. Their presence is considered to be a rumor by most but some have seen them - they swear.

Industrial

Deep into the area you will find factories and warehouses but nearer to Fountain Park there are Banks, offices and higher class restaurants. This area of the city is by far one of the largest and most varied. There is very little residential at all in the north west but a great deal of commercial enterprise.

Mapiya

Named for the sky, Mapiya is a village built into the mountain. With the main settlement dug into a cliffside, with rope bridges connecting buildings that are half wood and half cavern. A series of waterfalls characterize the mountain side; the uppermost pool is used for gathering drinking water and the lower pools for bathing and washing clothing. During the winter, the terrain is harsh and cold but there are many hunting trails in the mountain forests and the Suwani people have made a good life for themselves here.

Dragon Aeries

There are currently two dragon Aeries with very different values and beliefs. There is the traditional Storm Heights, ruled by a purple queen. Or there is the human-sympathizing New York Aerie. They believe in upholding dragon values is working to create a bond with the humans and free everyone from oppression taking back the earth.
