Imagine you are living 100 years from now, in 2120. The world is a very different place, and humanity has changed along with it. In recent history, the world economy as we know it collapsed in 2022 from a world war that started in North America, and spread like a plague consuming country after country. This war was an economic war, with no beginning, stretching back hundreds of years, to before th
e industrial revolution, maybe all the way back to the beginning of agriculture when we first assigned ownership of the land to some, but not others. Not a soul was left untouched as the war raged for 25 years, separating families, and creating entire generations on earth knowing nothing but conflict. Almost 15% of the worlds people died in this war, from conflict, or diseases, or starvation. At the end of this war that did end all wars, in 2048 a bacteria emerged, or re-emerged that stopped responding to antibiotics, and devastated the planet, taking a quarter of the world’s people with it. Power and electricity are gone, even solar only worked for a while until batteries could no longer maintain their charges, and no new ones were available. Cars sit idle, growing plants until the rust consumes them, and there are just rusty pieces of frame and tires left. People were in such a weak state from the consequences of war, they had little resistance to any infections, and children and elderly were particularly decimated. Alost half of the worlds people were now gone…the war had carried people from all over the world to every place on earth creating a giant mixing pot of people and cultures, stranded when the bacteria spread, and transportation shut down at a global level. After that….the people of earth were devastated and traumatized from the horrors of war, and the loss of so many loved ones so they came together for the first time in a long time at local levels at first, then spreading to the entire world. They started building communities, like our eco-castle. Most communities where just naturally formed around a resource, or activity, some are farming communities, some raise horses, while others mine for Phosphorus, and on, and on….. Our castle was built by the Adyan, the Knights of Equity. In this post-apocalyptic, yet utopian reality, we set our Eco-castle stage. It is the beginning of a new golden era for mankind, of peace, creativity, and abundance used wisely. The world is becoming healthy again, and the effects of chemicals, and exploitation are disappearing. Life is good for people, and although it is more simply, without electricity and all that comes with plastics and cheap technology, people are happy. The style is very free, and uninhibited without being overly sexual. There is little in the way of large pieces of fabrics, so people have recycled many pieces of old things together to create very colorful clothing, full of style and decoration. Old broken jewelry is sewn onto cloths, and leather is particularly valued for it’s durability. There are generally pockets and places to hang things on belts, people have few possessions, but carry almost everything with them all the time, including weapons…..no guns are allowed by cultural decree after the war, they were ALL destroyed. The Eco-Castle is ruled by the Adyan, the Knights of Equity who protect, defend, and balance the need of people, the environment, and trade with the outside world. These Adyan take oaths of devotion and dedication to the planet, and the entirety of the world’s people, and serve as planetary servants to earth, and representatives of humanity to nature. This Adyan status is the highest of all honors, and is bestowed only to the most exceptional of the Knights of Equity. Today is the celebration of the knighthood of a new Adyan, the ceremony to bless a new member of the Adyan with the weight of the spirit of the planet, and the strength of collective human consciousness in their devotion to equality of people, sacred nature, and interconnection. Join us in our celebration! All are welcome, as we redefine our place on Earth as humans, and celebrate what it is to be alive together on this beautiful planet.
