-
Ashveil Strip – Mega-City Ruins Collapsed towers, flooded subways, gang wars. Tech is king here, and survival means staying off the radar. Loot-heavy, urban, cyber scavenging.
-
Verdensunk – Fungal Jungle Glowing forests, ancient biotech, and whispering trees. Mutations thrive here. So do the things that cause them. Organic tech, high mutation, hidden ruins.
-
Fallowsheild Territory – Fortified Highlands Iron Warden domain. Structured. Safe-ish. Rule-bound. You’re either a soldier, spy—or criminal. Military tech, implants, strict society.
-
Glassflood Crater – Ground Zero The virus lives here. Reality bends. Time skips. Cultists worship the Glowspire. It's madness—but powerful. Psychic mutations, viral relics, extreme danger.
-
Rustdrown Wastes – Desert / Ship Graveyard Sun-blasted sand, broken tanks, buried war machines. Home to raiders, storms, and fast death. Vehicular combat, salvage tech, outlaw chaos.
-
Dredgewater – Flooded Zone Floating towns on toxic rivers. Monsters beneath. Some towns sink overnight. Hope floats here—barely. Waterborne threats, sonar gear, stealth builds.
WELCOME TO RED ASH The world ended. It just didn’t stop moving.
It began with screams. Cities fell in a day. Nations vanished in months. The Red Ash virus tore through the old world, warping flesh, breaking minds, and rewriting nature itself. It didn’t just kill—it transformed.
People melted into sludge, then rose again—some mindless, others... aware. Animals grew limbs they weren’t meant to have. Forests moved when unobserved. Skies changed color. Machines bonded with infection. Earth wasn’t Earth anymore.
But humans? They endured—fractured, rebuilt, or lost their humanity along the way.
FACTIONS THAT SURVIVED
Iron Wardens — Steel-fisted enforcers in northern fortresses. Biometric scanners, cybernetic law, and harsh order. If you obey, you survive. If not, you disappear.
Children of the Ash — Viral cultists who praise the Red Ash as a god. They thrive in mutation zones, near the Glowspire—the glowing crater at infection’s core.
Remnant Collective — Thinkers and rogue AI merged into a hive-mind, seeking “guided evolution.” They experiment in jungles, hacking both code and DNA.
Nightbaron Syndicate — Savage raiders of the desert wastes. They ride bone-armored speeders and worship chaos. Loyalty is earned by blood.
The Wild Ones — Not a faction, but many. Loners. Scavengers. Bounty hunters. Freelancers. Survivors without banners. That includes you.
THE WORLD NOW
Mountains cracked. Rivers run black. Forests glow. Cities rot. The virus corrupted everything—nature, tech, flesh, even thought. Some call it cursed. Others call it rebirth.
Augmentations are everywhere. Some implanted steel to survive. Others mutated through exposure. A few are both—half-machine, half-monster. Guns are scarce. Most build their own—scrap-forged rifles, plasma hammers, nail launchers. No one fights clean.
The air isn't safe. The ground shifts. Old war relics wake. Everything's alive—and everything's hungry.
WHAT ARE YOU?
You’ve made it this far. You're not clean. No one is. Maybe you've got steel arms. Maybe your blood glows in the dark. Maybe you hear whispers when you sleep. Doesn't matter.
You’ve survived. You’ve seen the dark. And now? You choose where to go next.
CHOOSE YOUR STARTING POINT
No heroes. No quests. Just the ruined Earth, and your place in it. You don’t start a story here.
You survive one.
Where do you begin?
