How’s it going friends, still trying to fix my WiFi, it’s a long story so I won’t get into details, but it’s time for the lore!

Lore drop 3: Self willed the peril of a thousand fates

Long before time was a concept, before the universe was even dust, there were beings. These beings could technically be described as gods, but doing so would be an oversimplification of biblical proportions. Whatever the case, from what we can understand, after some kind of war(?) a number of these beings met their end. To say that they truly died is inaccurate. They came as close as they possibly could to dying. Their physical forms calcified into a solid stone like material, while their minds remained dreaming. Some turned themselves into dust, forever drifting and mutating. A few of these carcasses ended up in our solar system. One became the core of the gas giant Saturn, one crashed into mercury, one crashed onto earth, wiping out the dinosaurs, and the last one embedded itself into what would come to be known as the moon Europa. As time went on the dreams of these dead gods went on to effect the life around them. No I am not implying aliens. At least not yet. Except for Saturn, that has creatures that can best be described as “shark blimps”, I can’t think of a scientific name , this is a relatively common bit of information in setting, don’t worry about it.

The dreams of these dead gods affected one planet especially hard. Earth. In a way that was especially noticed by its dominant species. They even found the carcasss on their own planet, electing to use a nuclear device to keep it dormant. Over time, humanity would even learn to harness what was believed to be magic. But as these techniques lead to technologies once thought to be impossible, it lead to an age of soot and sulphur, a war that lasted a century, a war so terrible it was as if the universe itself had forgotten its own rules, and from the remnants, one group would emerge, a small confederation of nations in what was once known as Europe and Asia, the Eusan alliance, eventually becoming the Eusan Empire. Under the rule of the benevolent and possibly immortal Empress they spread humanity’s influence to the farthest reaches of the solar system, their only specific limit being the fact that nobody’s developed F.T.L travel yet. Unfortunately, due to the empire’s policies in regards to their taxation of the farther colonies as well as the growing disconnection felt between humans born on different planets vs humans from Vineta, this lead to the formation of the Eusan Nation and that’s a slightly poorly explained history of…. Yes.
