Part 1: The Decline and the Arms Race
The path of events that led to this current world started around the beginning of the 21st century. After much squabbling and such between countries, the world nearly ended in nuclear holocaust, however this was a wake up call to the world, and not in a good way. With the governments and people of the world terrified, the governments of the world all entered into a massive arms race, in which everyone was trying to build the biggest post powerful weapon, people's fear of each other made them also stop talking to each other, so no one knew what everyone was making, and also caused the UN to nearly die off, after all no one was going to the meetings anymore. After nearly a hundred years in a massive arms race, a problem occurred. During weapons testing in the South Pacific, the bombs being tested by one country had wiped out large amounts of ships from another country, and this began the further decline of man, into war. After a hundred years of silence, the nations of man were talking again, just to argue and fight once more, this fighting got worse and worse until it turned into full out war.
Part 2 World War III and the Apocalypse:
Although the war was initially a small conflict between two countries, more and more began taking sides and eventually the whole globe erupted into conflict. Although initially just military conflicts in Europe, South America and South East Asia, the battles spread and got worse and worse and eventually everyone just let there new weapons fly. Direct weapons hit in South America, North America, Western Europe, Asia and Russia the amount of death and destruction was beyond that ever seen by the human race, however it would only get worse. The power of hundreds of millions dying at the same time caused the energies on earth to run wild, and eventually gathering around the nexus points, heading outward across the globe along the ley lines, causing wild storms of energy now known as ley line storms to run rampant, tearing much of the globe asunder. This destruction lead to more death and made the ley lines go even wilder, causing rips in the fabric of the very dimension itself. It has recently been determined that this destruction lasted a total of 48 hours.
Part 3: Resurrection: A New World
After the destruction, the small remaining pockets of humanity clung together in nomadic tribes around the world, although the world was far from the same. The energy levels which still were very powerful around the nexus points and ley lines, made magic and psychic powers more powerful then ever before, and awakened new powers within humanity and the devastation of the war led to mutations and weapons just lying around. As well as humans new races, appeared from beyond the newly opened splits in the dimensional fabric, creatures from myths, alien races and horrifying monsters were now beginning to appear like mad. Many humans attacked and shunned the new races, but some forged allegiances with them in order to survive the monsters and demons that stepped forth from portals. After a while many pockets of civilization were founded in some places, and most humanoids settled in these small pockets. But these pockets of civilization were hardly a haven, crime, corruption and evil ran rampant in these small pockets, and this is where we are now. "
