* EarthThatUsedToBeBetter: Global warming has rendered much of Earth unlivable. In the late twenty-first century, the Gods migrated most of the humans to different planets, forcing them to give up their religion and much of their culture, and killed anyone who resisted. A small minority of humans were allowed to stay on their home planet, where they were allowed slightly more freedom and tradition than the ones who were moved.
