Storytelling
Core central themes to use in campaign building or storytelling. The ideas that I believe are key to what I want each Age to explore and reflect to the audience. (Fight Club, American Beauty, Gulliver's Travels, Hunger Games, Nineteen Eighty-Four, War of the Worlds)
 * The cult like mentality of consumerism and masculinity.
 * Change your life, for better or worse.
 * How the world is a horrible world where anything that can go wrong, will go wrong and it's inescapable.
 * Celebrity culture and the power of symbols.
 * The fear that even memory is not safe from the tyrant's meddling. Are people slaves to their own fear?
 * The consequences of ruthless, uncaring imperialism on those subjected to it.

Aesthetics
Post-Impressionism, fauvism and expressionism, cubism-futurism-supremativism, Dada and surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Post-modernism, Deconstructionism

Timeline
This timeline uses the common calendar of the Aves Belief (AB) and places its year 1 at the start of the fifth age, the Age of Discovery (3,200 years after the start of recorded history). This is the first year following the destruction of the moon, the exile of the human empire, and the breaking apart of the old world into the new.
