In 2035, after more than a decade of conflict in the word, global tensions reached a breaking point. Russia cut off exports to Europe, worsening the economic collapse caused by the depletion of oil reserves. Chaos spread, and eventually, war erupted—World War III had begun.
By 2041, nuclear devastation had wiped out 85% of the population. Famine and environmental collapse followed, leaving the survivors struggling to endure. With no oil or functioning technology, civilization regressed. People were forced to rebuild from nothing, relying on hunting, farming, and simple tools to survive.
Over the next 120 years after the devastation of the war, and by 2161, humanity had begun to recover, though the scars of the past remained. Civilization had regressed to the simpler times, swords and horses travel had replaced firearms and vehicles. People had relearned the basic skills of survival like hunting, farming, and craftsmanship. The age of empires had returned, with leaders rising to unite their people under a one banner.
In this new world, land had become the most valuable resource. Fertile farmland, habitable regions, and forests were coveted treasures, their scarcity fuelling competition and conflict. By this time, five dominant empires had emerged and each carving its place on the fractured map.
Devot, stretching across Northwestern Asia, ruled the rugged and resource-rich terrain.
Ingocia, established in Eastern Europe, embraced the remnants of its cultural and industrial heritage.
Crysal, based in Southern Europe, relied on its strategic coastlines and ancient trade routes.
Kronial, situated in Southeastern Asia, claimed vast tropical lands for its growing population.
Drayton, in Southwestern Asia, balanced between desert resilience and strategic waterways.
One empire, Polon, once stood among them. But after Devot conquered it, its name faded into history.
War as always, loomed like a dark shadow, promising destruction, pain, and death for all involved. Yet, amidst the chaos, a young man emerged with a different vision. He dreamed of ending the endless cycle of violence and uniting humanity under a banner of peace. This is his story, a journey to bring hope to a fractured world.
