Rifts

Hundreds of years in the future, when earth is in a golden age of technology, a nuclear war starts. The mass deaths release PPE into the Ley Lines of the world on a level that tears open rifts which are the drains and spouts of magic energy at ley line intersections. Tearing open rifts as bad, and beings from other dimensions invade our world and make it as alien as our nightmares allows us to believe.

The invasion brings on a dark age where the technologies and comforts of the new golden age are replaced with hardship, slavery, wilderness, and most importantly, conflict.
