Dear Transitioners,
You are now entering the Age of Extinction, a time of great upheaval and peril for humanity and the world we share. We implore you to heed our warning, for the consequences of inaction are dire.
Firstly, we must clarify that the term "extinction" does not signify the complete annihilation of our species. Rather, it refers to a profound transformation of civilization itself, wherein the foundations of the world as you know it falter and crumble. This upheaval manifests as a prolonged period akin to a new Dark Age, lasting for generations.
The gradual decline in living standards continues its relentless descent. It surpasses the era of the Industrial Revolution, plunging many regions into a state akin to the Iron Age, Bronze Age, and even the distant past of the Stone Age. Throughout this arduous journey, vast numbers of people suffer unimaginable hardships and meet untimely demises. It is a time of immense sorrow and devastation.
We anticipated that such cataclysmic events would awaken humanity from its complacency and ignite a collective realization of the urgent need for change. Regrettably, it took the loss of entire cities, regions, and a succession of towns to spark this awakening. Those ominous orange skies you witness are harbingers of the calamities that await.
