The city exists, has existed, and will continuously exist...
The city of Template has no clear history, any that it may have had has been obscured by the developing metropolis, and lost in a sea of libraries, concrete, and apathy. There is nothing to set Template apart from any other city.
But a strange fate has befallen the city-- or perhaps it always existed. Darkness gathers and wanes within the city, moving with the force of something unknown.
Yet no one seems to notice. Nothing has changed.
Enlightenment comes slowly. And yet things have changed drastically. One by one, or perhaps by droves, people foreign to Template, to Template's universe, are being pulled there. There is no way to leave, and those pulled there are bound to the city.
They exist with those who have existed there, yet they are separate from those who are enlightened, and those who are not. They can see each other, yet they cannot. They cannot realize the key to their binding to the city, not until enlightenment.
And the ones who hold such keys remain hidden, and work in mysterious ways.
It feels as though those who are Enlightened are being pulled by two separate forces, though none can really place where that feeling emerges. A force of destruction, and one of survival. However these forces are constantly at war, a war no one can grasp is happening.
Not immediately.
However, the strange events in Template are only a foretaste of what truly awaits the Enlightened, and one day, they must choose sides.
