Prologue:
Extract from “The Second Evolution in context” lecture series by Citizen Richard Manuel
“By the fourteenth century individuals began the first manifestations of strange powers. The oppressive nature of society led to an environment of fear, those individuals unfortunate enough to deviate from the norm were hunted and killed without trial or defence. Their families and estatse were wiped from the face of the known world. They were sanctioned as evil, devils, and carriers of demons. One man stood against the tide of persecution and legend has it, with his dying breath, he cast a pestilence upon the world as vengeance. Civilisations crumbled under its virulence, and it was named, the Black Death. This was the end of the First Evolution.
Knowing they must be ever vigilant against such manifestations, Churches and Royalty alike watched, and recorded, any aberrations. Any manifestations of abilities were ruthlessly eradicated, as were the families of the condemned. This was a practice that saw occurrence throughout the known world. In Europe in particular the level of organized persecution was truly astounding, the Inquisitions bare testament to that.
In the 16th century a unique convergence of events saw the twelve rise to prominence, the Nakamura’s in the Far East, the Amman’s in the Arab Territories, The Mendezs in the Americas (as it is now known), Deveraux’s in France and the Petrellis in Italy, amongst others. Thus began the rise of the elite, a history that every child knows and this is now known as the Second Evolution”.
