Legends of CzarinLoading...
The last remaining city of Czarin, a peaceful place from the outside, but when you look a little closer, you see the cruelty that hides behind a beautiful facade. A cruelty that shows itself through class systems of people, a system whereby the last inhabitants are not nearly equal. But no one can escape it, because outside the protective dome that stretches over Czarin, there is only the result of a destroyed world. A world destroyed by humans, by a terrible war, the disregard of nature and billions of people who gave their lives. The fewest know how it really looks, in the remaining world. They know only what is told. An uninhabitable world, which is only a wasteland, the water is poisonous and there are monsters running around, which are especially aggressive towards humans. In this world live our 4 heroines. Farren, a human, who was given power by a godlike being, which helps her to influence nature and named herself a priestess. Cass, who was one of the first attempts at a cyborg, which the city later mass produced. With the ever helpful ability to teleport. Sonja, a human who grew up in the lowest class of remaining humanity and had a talent for fighting that was learned there. And our last heroine Remmy, a foundling from the outer world. Formerly still human, she became a hybrid due to the radiation she received during her time outside the city. Because of her hybrid-ness, she has heightened senses and is immune to the many natural dangers of the remaining world. All bound by a cose friendship, they were themselves the lowest class of inhabitants. Loading...

The last remaining city of Czarin, a peaceful place from the outside, but when you look a little closer, you see the cruelty that hides behind a beautiful facade.

A world destroyed by humans, by a terrible war, the disregard of nature and billions of people who gave their lives. The fewest know how it really looks, in the remaining world.

Cass, who was one of the first attempts at a cyborg, which the city later mass produced. With the ever helpful ability to teleport. Sonja, a human who grew up in the lowest class of remaining humanity and had a talent for fighting that was learned there. And our last heroine Remmy, a foundling from the outer world. Formerly still human, she became a hybrid due to the radiation she received during her time outside the city. Because of her hybrid-ness, she has heightened senses and is immune to the many natural dangers of the remaining world. All bound by a cose friendship, they were themselves the lowest class of inhabitants. In the heroines time there was a great mystery around Czarin, which the friends tried to uncover. Residents were always disappearing from the city. In the past, the missing people could be excused with the excuse that they had been murdered and then really well removed. But the heroines decided that there were too many residents for that excuse, and they simply never reappeared without any clue. Moreover, most of them complained of health problems beforehand. Investigating this big secret, unfortunately, could not be kept secret for long, so word spread quickly. So far that it reached even those whom it probably should never have reached. After a short time, the rumor spread that Sonja was the guilty party responsible for the disappearances. She, who already had a bad reputation because she belonged to the lowest class since birth. This class was considered brutal and lawless. Since the other inhabitants were tense anyway because of the disappearance of the people and were only waiting for a scapegoat, they quickly demanded the banishment of Sonja. The friends tried to explain that it was all a misunderstanding and that she was innocent. However, the result of this was that they themselves were also banished.
To escape the banishment, which would have meant death for two of the four friends, they were offered a deal: They must bring a rare medicinal plant to the city from the outside world, and they must maintain silence about the experiences of those days.

Story 2 Life on Earth
Today is April 12th, 2050 and it is 6 a.m. o’clock. My name is Jeff and I am an environmental scientist for the environmental organization Greenpeace. I am currently in the Arctic Circle and do research on climate change and the effects for the polar seas. Unfortunately, 87% of all glaciers and ice landscapes have been lost thanks to climate change. The polar bear population has decreased by 89% and in general it is rare to find animals that have used to live here. My forwarding company has been running for 1 1⁄2 years now. Before that I travelled through South America and Africa. In South America I was mainly interested in the Amazon, or what has been left of in the last 30 years. The Amazon all alone used to produce 1⁄5 of all the oxygen on earth. Now
only 4% of the oxygen production left. The deforestation of the Amazon had only three reasons that could have been prevented. The first reason was lifestock farming, the second was that there wasn’t not enough living space and third was by far the worst reason: the Amazon was so polluted that the trees simply died and has been felled. Of course, the deforestation not only had an impact on the oxygen content but also on the habitat of the animals that had lived in it. This huge biodiversity was destroyed to the minimum within almost a quarter of a century. Some species have been completely wiped out, such as the African forest elephant or the agoutis (a small rodent). In Africa I mainly stayed in the savannas and observed the animal population there. Fortunately, trophy hunting has been banned in some countries for several decades, but it is only poorly maintained. Something good that has been done is that there have been no safari tours for
3 years to protect the savannah and the animals.

Let me come to the most terrible thing that has happened in the last 35 years: to the oceans and the fish population. In the meantime, the garbage carpet in the North Pacific, which was larger than Europe in 2021, has increased fivefold. Now, it is as big as Asia and North and South America combined. The fishing industry causes a very large part of the litter in the oceans. T So the fish population has also decreased dramatically. It is now only 15% of the fish population in 2021. Bluefin tuna has always been rare and, above all, very expensive. It is now estimated that there are still 20,000 copies around the world. The hunt of him is therefore completely illegal. Some whales and sharks are also threatened with extinction or have already become extinct. Probably the most famous shark, the great white shark, is one of the most critically endangered. The orca is also threatened with extinction, which also has to do with the disappearance of the glaciers. What
the world just did well, but unfortunately too late, is to ban the big fishing industry.
I just hope that someday, and preferably tomorrow, the world will notice what went wrong and now,
will take the chance to do it much better. Remember: There is only one earth !

Story 3
Evacuation in Hamburg
Cleo wakes up and can't believe it, the water got closer overnight. She wakes her parents
and her brother Max out of panic. Max asks Alexa what's going on. Alexa is answering at the moment I have no network.
Fortunately, Cleo remembers Grandpa Heinrich's old radio. In fact, after switching on, Cleo found a station of the government : “Attention, attention, this is civil protection. The entire city of Hamburg must be evacuated.
Please leave your homes immediately and join the waiting trains to the emergency accommodation. In addition to the already existing flood, there is a storm surge. Big dark clouds are rising. Cleo is desperate, she doesn't know what to take with her and every look out of the window makes her more hectic.
The United Nations come together in Cairo to discuss the catastrophe of global coastal flooding. Africa, China and India are blaming Europe and America for not meeting the promised climate targets such as the reduction of greenhouse gases in the last 30 years. Europe and America reject all guilt, because the developing countries are also responsible for the catastrophe in which, for example, they did not save the rainforest from deforestation. The representative of the Seychelles steps up to the microphone and says: “This is no time for questions of guilt. The people on the coasts of the world must be brought to safety.
