Recent Events
Many things will change in the course of the game. This section goes over what is considered common knowledge of events that have happened within the lifetime of the player characters.
 * About seven months pregame - The Tokyo Incident occurs. Large sections of Tokyo are sectioned off, and there is very little news about what happened to cause this. The city is still trying to recover from this.
 * About four months pregame - The Solomon Island Quarantine. An island just off the coast of New England that until recently has been quiet. It's home to Innsmouth Academy, a place well known as a school for many inhabitants of the Secret World. About four months ago, a fog descended on the island, and the government quarantined the entire thing. Rumor has it that the various factions have all had people investigating what's been happening there, but no one is entirely certain. All the news that has managed to make its way off the island is the same: people coming back from the dead as zombies, sea monsters, and oily, black tendrils that corrupt everything they touch.
