This choice was an offense for the last ones of historical proportions. Why when Paragrafians citadels seemed true utopies? There were several reasons. The Pedisequians wanted to be "a hospital for sinners, not a museum of saints", they wanted to help the largest number of people without regardless of origin. The Pedisequian empire had got a higher crime and corruption rates, but also more charities and the level of well-being of the average citizen was higher. The Paragrafian citadels were more advanced scientifically and technologically but thanks unethical experiments with unvoluntary humans. And the rest of the towns were pure misery, almost post-apocaliptic levels, like if the prosperity was only for a small and too elitist group of chosen ones. The Paragrafian confederation wasn't a true democracy because the high-spheres were monopolized by the members of the Ivory Shrine.  And the leaders of the Ivory Shrine are springgans or other followers of the lord Fomorians, plotting wicked and dark conspirances against the worshippers of the Divine Providence. Of course they want revengue against their rival power but this arrived in a way nobody could guess. During the next decades multinational companies owned by the Ivory Shrine built the "Obelisk", a cluster of archologies ( = super skrycrappers) linked by skyways. This was the age of the rebelion of the cleruchs(settlers who lived in the colonial towns) because these want a more independient economy, with more industry, without dependence of trade with the main citadels or capital cities. These were the times when the kaijus, giant monsters, appeared (some times summoned by eco-terrorist cults), and among these the smartest creatures the vernim-dragons. There were years where monster-hunters, inquisitors, police and secret agencies were too busy.. and this is because the conspirancy by the ivory shrine wasn't discovered until it was too late.  The first sign of the upcoming menace was when the Paragrafian citadels ordered complete quarentene and all the accesses were blocked. The citadels had got their own urban farms, and the supply of food and other necessities was not a problem. The next step was those citadels stopped to send messages, the comunication seemed totally cutted. The agents sent to investigate found their streets were totally empty, almost without population. In the best case it seemed a secret evacuation, but where toward?Then the hidden cards were showed. The rebellion of the cleruchs, the appearance of the kaijus or some failed biologic attacks to create zombie outbreaks were just a diversionary maneuver to hide the true conspirancy by the Ivory Shrine. The "obelisks", the archologies that were built in the main megacities were to summon terror-eater fiends and to give these reality-wrapping powers. Their wicked plot worked as planned but their success wasn't complete. The churchs and sacred places couldn't be affected by the reality-wrap powers by those terror-fiends. This power only could work near the obelisks, and outskirts of the city would be a relatively safe place, if we forget the kaijus, or the "rotten roots", a type of alien vegetation that spread everywhere. At least some zones were safe thanks alliances and pacts with some vernim-dragons. For example the bee-dragons wellcome crop plantations if these plants have got flowers. There are also some alliances with buttlerfly-dragons or some ant-dragons. The second reason, and most imortant because the conspirancy didn't work completetly is because the goal to summon the terror-eater fiends (while the members of the ivory shrine were safe within of space-time bubles or demiplanes) were to terminate the worshippers of the Divine Providence. This "odium fidei" changed all, because the victims became martyrs, the zone of their murders became sacred or blessed, and unholy creatures, undead or fiends, can't eat flesh by martyrs. They can but they shouldn't because it is like a vampire drinking holy water. The cities with obelisks could be evacuated, but some people would rather to live near. Why? To enjoy the inmortatily. The terror-eater fiends enjoy feeding of fear feeling but permanent death is not necessary. Thanks secret laboratories with transhuman technology (mind-downloading, memory dowloaded and digital inmortality) the sentient creatures who die near obelisks can enjoy a free reincarnation effect awaking within those clandestine laboratories. You are alive again, but remembering your traumatic experiences and the terror-fiends are very happy you suffering those bad memories.</blockquote>
