AMBROSIA; LAST DAY OF EXPEDITION SIGNUP.
The world had ended and a new one had taken its place. Magic, that thing we refused to believe in is suddenly real as the rain on our face in a storm. This power to defy the laws of nature, to change the way the world worked was all of the sudden at our doorstep. The world had ended and we had survived. Mind you, Ambrosia was no sprawling metropolis, the city was only a fraction of what San Francisco had been. But it made do with what it had and it was growing at a rapid pace. The inner walls stood as testiment to the early days when they had battled and just barely survived. Now there was a city there, houses with electricity and plumbing. There were market places and some people had begun to repurpose old ruins into new homesteads as well. It was a bustling town, the hub of the West coast. And it was home.
Home to the hustlers, the scoundrels and the thugs. Home to the honest, the hard working and the resilient. It was a home carved out in a world that want humanity dead. But it had risen, it had beaten back beasts and looters and it shone like a beacon. A dirty beacon to be sure, but a beacon none the less. Its gates were open for all people of all sizes, provided they would put themselves to work or otherwise contribute in some small way. Shanty towns would pop up outside the outer walls and grow into a proper neigbourhood once wate was routed their way. Then people would begin to bouild barricades that grew in palisades that grew in to walls and suddenly you would have another part of the ever growing city. Real estate for the post Fall economy as it were. This is where our story begins, and fatefull group of people are about to start a journey of their own.
The air was humid, the massive forest that had grown up around San Fransisco since the Fall is as dense as the ancient redwood forests of ages past and what lurked there now is as ferocius as any dinosaur of the earths infancy. The San Fransisco bay lay shimmering to the west, and if you looked over the treeline you could see the water plant that had been built there. A giant white dome with half it's foundation in the water. Humanity was a ingenious and hardy race to be certain, they had managed to rocover and now they were doing their best to fight back. And right now, the people of Ambrosia was looking to open a new path towards the future. Ambrosia arbiters were out in force by the south gate, as a few stalls had been set up by the different corporations that were participating in the journey south. They were hiring, and in some ways competing among themselves as to whom they hired. great undertaking that would take months to establish, and this was the first foray into the wild.This was a venture that might propel humanity forward again, establishing a route to one of the biggest local sources for crystal. And everyone with money or power wanted a bite of the fortune that could be made.
This is where you all find yourselves, albeit for different reasons and in different capacity. Your reasons for joining or taking interest are your own. The South Gate plaze is crowded with people of all shapes and sizes. Some of them are wearing body armor and toting great guns and blades, others are surveyors and engineers. There is a sense of concern over the whole thing, a edge to the way people carried themselves.

Notable Locations:
- South Gate; The largest entrence to town by far, South Gate is a massive punched into the ever expanding walls of Ambrosia. Its walls tower over you and is rightfully imposing. The gate itself is guarded by a set of old pre-Fall era battleshipcannons salvaged from the Sanfransico Bay. The old anti-air guns have been fixed up with magi tech and are able deliver some serius damage to the toughest of beasts.
- Rock Plaza; The site of the Thunder Birds dramatic defeat years ago, the Rock plaza is the hub for information and trade in the southern part of town. Ambrosias many hunters can usually be seen here between jobs, peddling felts and other trophys from their kills. This is also the place where the Hunter HQ is located.
- Calamity Towers; These two massive spirals where once towering scyscrapers in the ages past. But the ruins were made into a monument of sorts aswell as the seat of Ambrosias goverment. The half restored building stands like a reminder of the losses aswell as the inherent strenght of Ambrosias citizens.
