Daemon X Core: Atlantropa and the Gulch Below.

A smaller update for this week! I'll be preparing for next months poll soon!

Moon Whispers

"As the moon twisted and turned his message echoed throughout the hollow chamber of the facility. Reality was nothing more then a cage, a prison, one in which the flesh became a coil around the soul of mankind. The Great Enemy had become jealous of this soul, only begin able to create lesser forms in the material existence and experience. These souls would be imprisoned and upon death the wheel would once more turn, inescapable and forever turning.

Yet mankind had once orchestrated the great bleeding of this material plain. If it could be done again, this time it could lead to a mass apotheosis, a breaking of the wheel. A new existence."

The Black Pope.

Paul once led the Mortal Champions through countless trials and conflicts within the Gulch and above on the Floating City of Atlantropa, he was honored among the Companions of Saint Leo. He would be the first to hear the forbidden message from Him within in the Moon and he would be the first to realize the predicament they found themselves in. Humanity was cursed by the Great Enemy to be prisoners in a wheel of eternal pain, the material reality, yet in the immaterial true peace existed. For it was the true state of being for the human condition.

Through his plan he would be able to pierce Heaven and bring about a second great bleeding, fusing the Material and Immaterial, permanently. Leading to a new type of existence for humanity, a grand apotheosis.

The Floating City of Atlantropa.

Found in the North Atlantic Ocean, in between the Old and New Continents of the world. Home to approximately 1 billion people, shared between the city above and the Gulch below, it was at a time considered a myth by the people of Europa, writen about as the legendary city of Atlantis. A civilization that was millenia ahead of the kingdoms and empires of the old continent, this was not far from the truth. As Atlantropa had been created before the Great calamity of the Vulnerate that flooded the world with immaterial blood, as such technology continued to progress.

Yet as of 1912 the Floating City of Atlantropa is hardly ahead of the United States of the Americas, progress had grown stagnant within the Floating City. Due to multiple causes, from the corporate wars to the outbreaks of incidents of high strangeness, and the purposeful meddling of outside actors that would rather see Atlantropa under the control of "greater" nations.
