"Fear is the mother of Morality"- Nietzsche
IC Intro
The year is 153 A.E., over 54 thousand days ago the great nations of man lived in luxury. Flying great steel dragons across the skies and summoning lightning to smite their foes from afar. But they flew too close to the sun, the Great War brought mankind to its knees but the pestilence destroyed him. Over the course of the 50 yearlong turmoil a reckoning was brought upon our ancestors of the past.
As punishment for growing too decadent, too greedy, and for destroying the natural beauty of the world, He arrived. Swiftly, he doled out his retribution. Ripping the eyes out of those with diamonds in their eyes. Crushing the souls of the earnest. Babes were ripped out of their mother’s loving arms and taken to reside with Death. Soon, people turned their backs on their foolish ways, succumbing to the strife they embraced Him. They struck down their old gods and began to make sacrifices to Death and begged for his forgiveness. Unabated he continued, striking down millions upon millions by the day. It took Death over 18,000 days to relent. The great suffering of man was over. Though nothing improved, man had become twisted, vile and vicious. The world has become dismal, and black. Raiders roam the lands, man-eaters hunt for their prey at night. We only have walls and steel to protect us but it may not be enough to sustain. We try and congregate but He returns to send us from whence we came. But as the tides wade and the ash settles we must go forward and bring the light back to this World of Ash.
OC Intro
A Bio-Weapon designed to bring a swift end to the Great War did just that. But it quickly spread out of control killing billions. Governments retreated inward and in the United States martial law was enacted to create order, but it was too late. Chaos engulfed the world and only those secluded and lucky enough were able to survive. Every attempt at civilization was stamped out by the pestilence returning once it grew too large only small isolated villages remained safe. After 50 years the pestilence stopped remerging but by this point it was far too late. Mankind was left with only 10% of the original population and it was brought back to the dark ages. Fires now light the nights, horses now take the place of cars ,the sword and bow have replaced the firearm and now Gas station forts, and Skyscraper castles now dot the landscape. Man has been brought low but he has not been broken.
Specifics- Players will be starting out around the Great Lakes region of the United States. Tech can vary but should remain in the early to mid medieval period as of now. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. We plan to have this up and running by the end of the week we just need more people.
