867. Cleopatra

Utopia had been exploring the external relics for a long time, and the relics of past civilizations within a month's journey nearby had been thoroughly scavenged. To venture further required exponentially more resources and supplies, and one couldn't ensure the explorers' loyalty. Therefore, the current state of Utopia, both among the upper echelons and the populace, was increasingly conservative.

At the dawn of Utopia's establishment, the vast majority of people lived with the hope of returning to the past, to the glorious and resplendent civilization of the old age. Back then, people were more proactive, willing to face death generation after generation, tirelessly seeking what was lost.
