After the oil disaster in the region, Cain went into a deep depression. He couldn't pay his workers, and he couldn't repair his ports after the hurricane. All industry in Myers and the rest of the region came to a grinding halt. With the oil spreading through the sea, ships were re-routed to other ports, thus taking their business elsewhere. Elsewhere was Thaines. The city was relatively unaffected during the storm, so the ports were open and available for any and all business. The city exploded....

So after a week's sail across God's pool, Cain and his loyal followers found the perfect location to start their new city. They named it Corke, after the many wine corks used to plug the holes in their ship on the way over. During the trip. Cain decided it was for the best to forsake his brother, and set to overtake Abel as the leader of the region (after all, a week long voyage on a ship in the middle of the ocean leads to long bouts of liberal thinking). Cain figured he would do things a little...

The funeral. The end.

By wallacet,

Word of Abel's death spread quickly. Far and wide, across the entire area, people flocked to Canton for the funeral. Cain was revered as a saint to these people, as he had taken them from third-world status to the top of the world stage in such a short time. The funeral lasted for 3 days. The reception at the church alone lasted for a day, as so many people had so many positive things to say about him. The lake was filled with flowers, as there was not enough room at the grave site for the mass influx of...

The End of an Era

By wallacet,

All the kinks had been worked out of their plan. Dr. Vu and Cain were ready to act, ready to put Abel in his place. After all the things that they had been through, it seemed like a perfect end to their troubles. They just had to decide when and where to strike. After all the spying that Cain had performed on Abel, they determined it was best to get Abel when he was least suspecting. Every Sunday, Abel went to the largest mall in Thaines to give blood at the local blood drive. They decided this was the...

Like Cain, Dr. Vu had also had his fair share of disagreements with Abel. Dr. Vu loved to experiment..."Lets put two totally different things together and see what happens!" he said. However, Abel viewed the experiments as less than attractive to his cities and their ever expanding population. First, Abel refused to approve Dr. Vu's gene splicing proposal. Apparently, giving school children an extra arm to be able to do their homework faster was an unsavory quality. And then Abel rejected Dr. Vu's weather...

People from all over the world by now had caught wind of the great things happening in the region. Vast resorts, booming commerce, and the industry to ship their goods worldwide. The once small towns turned into a living, thriving metropolis. 3 story buildings grew into 10 stories, and then 30 stories. The sky was the limit. Thaines was the first city in the region to boast a population of 300,000+. Canton wasn't far behind. Thaines boasted the region's first skyscraper business district. Aptly named "The...

Staines Beach

By wallacet,

As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, Cain and Abel grew farther and farther apart. They barely spoke to each other anymore, and even sat as far away as possible from each other at the family reunion every year. Cain had his industry, and Abel had his commerce. That's the way they liked it, and it seemed like there was little anyone could do to change that. Due to the massive amount of money and commerce coming into Canton and Thanes, some quick-witted entrepreneur decided a resort was...

Myers shipping center

By wallacet,

As the cities on Abel's side of the region continued to explode in population, Cain was struggling to keep up with the pace. It's not that he couldn't keep up competitively, its that the demand placed on him and his ports was far greater than he had the room/workforce for. In light of this, he was forced to expand his port at the city of Myers. Lush forests were paved to make way for concrete parking lots. Beaches were destroyed and in their place, mountains of metal containers were erected. But Cain soon...

It all began in a small fishing village on a large island in the Atlantic ocean. A long time ago, two brothers, Cain and Abel Wallace, were shipwrecked on the island. At the very spot they washed ashore, they founded the town of Favor. Locals from around the island came to live in the town, to make their living fishing. Soon, the town boasted a population of 319 hard working fishermen. The economy of the town was undergoing a silent boom, due to fishing the previously undisturbed Atlantic waters. Soon, the...

As the days went on, Dr. Vu poisoned Cain's head more and more. He went on and on about how Cain had been cast out from his own family, about how nothing would ever go his way again. Cain decided to get revenge on his brother Abel. This, of course, sat well with Dr. Vu, as he had himself been planning to deal with Abel in his own way. So, with Dr. Vu's help ( and financial assistance, of course), Cain began the process of spying on his brother and his daily routines. Large radar dishes and listening posts...

Cain had been devastated... He had gone from the very top to rock bottom in a matter of months. "Why me?" he asked. "What did I do to deserve this?" "Why has Abel been so blessed, and I so shunned?" These were the questions that plagued his mind every night as he slept. He felt that the entire world had turned its back on him. As he walked the streets of Thaines everyday, he looked at the tall buildings, the green trees, the smiling, successful businessmen, at everything Abel had worked so hard to build....

Disaster!

By wallacet,

Just when it seemed like everything was going perfectly for Cain, God turned the tables on him. Oil was a huge source of income for Cain. He was able to extract the oil from his own waters, and process it in his cities. This led to cheap fuel for his shippers, and he was able to charge a hefty premium to outside interests. But one day during hurricane season, a wave of epic proportions smashed into one of the oil derricks. The main oil shaft was fractured as the structure took the hit, and soon oil started...

As the town of Favor grew in population, room to expand and build came at a premium, and a price. The economy of the town began to suffer for this reason. The town was just not large enough to sustain the demand placed on it's fishing industry. The town had no trading partners, there was not enough room in the harbor for the citizens to keep their boats, and the fish population had started to dwindle. For this, Cain and Abel decided it was time to relocate. Leaving Favor in the hands of their cousin, the...
