2200
Synopsis: 2200: On Christmas Day, the Gene Cult launches hundreds of WMD’s at once, killing much of the Earth’s population, and the resulting mixes of radiation and certain chemicals mutates many of the survivors. The first Elves, Dwarves, and Gnomes are born.

The day of Armageddon
It was Christmas day, the warheads, 661 of them, launched from the Gene Cult's bases of operation around the world at exactly mid day. For the rest of the day there was doom raining down over all the developed countries of the world. Slowly the radiation began leaking around the planet, seeping through streets into buildings, into people. Radiation sickness was lethal, killing 64% of the Earth's populous. The Gene Cult, being who they were, had modified what they could of the warheads. As life continued babies were born with genetic defects, differing them from the other people on the planet. Time passed, this became more and more commonplace. The defected genes were placed into groups, categorized, the babies not considered, quite human. They were said to be new races, distinctly different from the old humans of the planet. From the 2200 bio-nuclear attacks the 'Elves', 'Dwarves', 'Gnomes', and others came into existence.
