Arthur Kingsley gave the people a second chance to leave The Opposition and to live, three hundred declined and were executed, but one hundred and fifty agreed, and joined The Government forces with only a sign carved into their arm to show they were not to be trusted. After the Great Wars, these people then had a chance to go back as part of normal society, though this time if they were not already Citizens, they lost their status’.

The City of Providence- The City of Providence is named because during the Third of the Great Wars, many of the Governments’ forces were dying of hunger, however they found the land was fertile, and the people gave them food, water, and taught them to farm, so for the four months they stayed there, waiting for the next order, and survived, with the help of the land, and the people, who were mainly Citizens, but not part of either army.

The City of Peace- The Fourth of the Great Wars, and the whole of the Revolution, was ended in the City of Peace, hence the name.

However, around thirty years later, during the reign of her grandfather, it was started up again, but this time, a terrorist group, attempting to over throw The Government.
