Empire Undying - Alpha 1
Hello! As promised, here's what I have worth showing. It's mostly the game's lore, but there's a bit of Character Creation as well, even if it's just the boring, usual bits (the background generation and contacts stuff is all written but I still need to refine it). I have a LOT more written for the game, but it's just not ready to be shown, since I need to re-write it for the Momentum Engine. I am very, very excited to share with you guys the weapon and magic systems, since it's heavily inspired by how magic works in Elric of Melniboné. You'll see!
For the time being, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the game's setting. This is the richest setting I've ever written, and I think it's pretty good, at least I'm really happy with it so far. It's definitely not my usual way of doing things, but since people are always asking for more lore, and I feel this one's pretty cool and original, I thought I'd go all in.
I'm also attaching my in-house map, the one I use to orientate myself. Once I have it done I'll ask Glynn Seal to illustrate it for real.
Enjoy!

This is very cool.
Thank you!
Well, i'm hooked......this is great so far! Couple of typo/grammar errors which i'm certain you've picked up by now, but for an alpha doc, this is already outstanding! (as per normal!).
Thank you, glad you like it!
Woah, Lore dump. I'm liking the setting, not as much as Into the Warp and Ruin, as you probably know. I read most of the introduction until the gods, and I can already picture a character that answers the desperate plea of the godess of life. Or a Nusania offering that somehow got away during transport.
Yeah, people have been telling me for years that they want more lore, so I decided to go all in with this one, haha. And don't worry, Into the Warp & Ruin is still my priority above this one!
C'mon, man! My weekend plate is already full! Now what do I have to take off to review this! Very excited to take a look. Thanks!
Haha hope you like it!
