Ten Kingdoms – Eastern Chaos, leaps forward to illustrate “The Rise of Evil” as a standalone episode in the world of Arks of America. What has happened in the Arks prequels eerily resembles the world we live in today. Ten Kingdoms is a chilling look at the dystopian world in which evil rises after a perfect storm of internal strife, infighting, chaos, terrorism, and nuclear EMP attacks.
After America suffered blow after blow of internal strife, work stoppages, police shootings, riots, and immobilizing national discord, the riches of the country attracted international villains who eyed the country like a wealthy home with an open front door.
Hit with a massive EMP strike, the West Coast from the Pacific to the Mississippi was left a wasteland of gangs, violence, and burning homes.
Although the eastern half of the country was spared the EMP attack, they were not immune to the second massive wave of terrorist attacks and a reawakening of internal riots and class warfare that had been incited for so many years. The United States, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, quickly devolved into a quagmire that people were referring to as the “Eastern Chaos.”
While Dave Cavanaugh’s realized vision of the Arks program was a force of good among the chaos, it was a small spark in the face of an evil régime taking power in America.
The rise of evil in America is being led by a false prophet called The Professor, who claimed to represent an American government in hiding. In truth, he harbored devious plans for a new America divided into ten Kingdoms.
Can Dave Cavanaugh’s communities of Arks hold out as a haven of good in an increasingly wicked world?
How far will The Professor go in his evil plans for a new America built upon his ambition?
What kind of life is in store for the populace in this new America after the Rise of Evil?
