-- NO ONE MOURNS

[katran]

what would it be like if the land of oz was no longer cut off from our world?
what if dorothy had not gone to oz years ago, but instead went there in the future?
what would the oz of the future look like? more like a modern city?

these are all questions that we seek to answer here at NOM.
this is oz in the year 2053, after World War III has occurred
in what Ozians call the "Other World". Following a devastating
nuclear war, Earth has become unlivable. Except for the secret
and enchanted land of Oz. It all started with one young girl,
Dorothy, who traveled here almost ten years ago. At that time,
there was no war on Earth, but Oz was in turmoil. That is, until
Dorothy dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East! She
became the hero of Oz, but eventually she had to return home.

Home for Dorothy would soon disappear though. A little over two
years ago, nuclear war drove Dorothy to leave the Other World
and return to Oz once more. Along the way, she told whoever she
met that there was somewhere that the humans could take refuge.
She invited them all to Oz. Now, Oz is being invaded by refugees
from the outside world, and not everyone is happy about it.

Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and her sister Nessarose,
who had been resurrected, have gained control of most of the
Emerald City. They call themselves the Libertines, and they want
to ultimately rule all of Oz and drive the Other Worlders from their
land. In response, a group called the Resistance, led by Dorothy,
has risen up to oppose the Libertines and to try to make Oz safe
for the refugees. With the Ozian government all but ignoring the
problem, the crime and violence is on the rise in Oz. It seems like
Oz is teetering on the brink of war.

which side will you join?
will we survive it?
you better hope so,
because here...no one mourns
