# Setting

Farcana is set in the year 2101 on Mars and its orbiting satellites. Humanity has abandoned Earth, once a cold, uninhabitable rock, to strive for a brighter future on the Red Planet.

A mysterious, life-extending substance called Axelar has been discovered on Mars. Although this substance grants superpowers, its full range of effects and potential dangers remain unknown. To investigate Axelar's properties, Farcana was conceived—a sports tournament-meets-reality show where participants can undergo an open trial of the substance. Anyone is welcome to compete in the tournament, but only the most exceptional can ascend to the global stage to become a true Star of Farcana. Will it be you?
