Did you know? On September 26th, 2013, our friends at Harebrained Schemes launched the first-ever Shadowrun video game on mobile devices, Shadowrun Returns, on iOS and Android. #Shadowrun #History #SixthWorld #videogame #CRPG #roleplayinggame

Shadowrun Returns offers a tactical, role-playing experience that shows everything that the Sixth World has to offer in a video game format. The original creator, Jordan Weisman served as the Director of the project. The game features an in-depth character creator, a wild Shadowrun story, and immersive combat.

The game would be expanded later with the expansion-turned-full game Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Later, Harebrained Schemes would release Shadowrun: Hong Kong off of the back of a successful Kickstarter campaign where they pushed the game to new heights.

Did you know? On September 16th, 2012, the German military managed to end the rampage of the dragon Feuerschwinge over the SOX. After tearing through Germany, the damage that "Firewing" managed inflict was something that the country could not allow to stand. #Shadowrun #Lore

This was a major event early in the Awakening. This marked the first time that humanity managed to bring down a dragon. It also led to a series of conspiracies surrounding Feuerschwinge, from claims of seeing her spirit form over Iceland in 2015, to rediculous claims of her being found alive in the body of a human woman and her going through a long series of experiments for decades after.

But weirder things have happened in the Sixth World. No one has all of the answers.

On September 5th, 2061, Halley's Comet became visible in the sky across the world. While the Sixth World was entering a routine with the new normal, they weren't prepared for another shake up in the 50th year of this new normal. #Shadowrun #Lore #SixthWorld #TTRPG #roleplayinggame

It is believed that the mana levels of Halley's Comet disrupted the equalibrium developed in the wake of the Awakening. Several events coincided with it's appearance; the surfacing of orichalcum deposits, an intense eruption of radical traits in metahumanity and animals known as SURGE, the spawning of the body-stealing Shedim, and even the emergence of the great western dragon Ghostwalker.

This event became known as the Year of the Comet. And while the immediate and more potent effects of the mana surge faded over time, it irrevocably changed the Sixth World in ways that society is still grappling with today.

On August 23rd, 2055, the UCAS quarantined Chicago from the shore of Lake Michigan to the Des Plaines River, establishing the Chicago CZ. This was due to a failure of Ares Macrotechnology to purge an infestation of insect spirits in the city. #Shadowrun #Lore #SixthWorld #TTRPG

In the following week, as UCAS forces built a barrier surrounding the CZ using the rubble of demolished buildings as a rough wall and establishing the Corridor.

On October 1st, Ares sent in a black ops team to take care of the insect spirit problem by activating a nuclear device at the Cermak Power Plant. However, as the device was activated, the insect spirits managed to erect a barrier around the zone, which effectively contained the blast. The device failed to meaningfully cull the insect spirit population, but did manage to force them into a semi-hibernation state.

The CZ would soon become a major source of controversy in the UCAS, and has become a source of intrigue and black market dealings within the country. In recent years, the CZ has been cleared for regular access. Chicago is being rebuilt as a major hub in the American Midwest, right along with the megacorp presence that naturally brings.

Did you know? August 17th, 2017 was the day that Daniel Howling Coyote initiated what would become known as the "Great Ghost Dance." This act would end the war between the soon-to-be NAN and the countries that would become the UCAS. #Shadowrun #Lore #SixthWorld #roleplayinggame

The magic of the Great Ghost Dance triggered the eruptions of Mounts Hood, Rainier, St. Helens, and Adams, which devastated the Pacific Northwest region and forced the United States and Canada to sign the Treaty of Denver. This treaty formalized the NAN, led to the eventual formation of the UCAS, and most importantly, sewed the seeds of the rise of Seattle as one of the shadowrunning hot spots of the Sixth World.
