Welcome to the Rusted Age.

The world of Ferrum is a dying wasteland covered in a toxic, metallic fungus known as "The Rust." The sun is choked by smog, the rain burns the skin, and clean water is worth more than gold.

​THE STATE OF THE WORLD:

Three great powers fight over the last remaining resources:

​The Verdant Citadels (High Elves): The elite who live in massive, sealed glass domes filled with pure air and magic. They view outsiders as "unclean" and use them as labour.

​The Iron Republic (Humans): A militaristic society living in deep underground bunkers. They reject nature and worship industry, replacing their flesh with steel to survive.

​The Dust-Walkers (Nomads): A coalition of Orcs, Tieflings, and Outcasts who refuse to bow. They ride giant mutated beasts through the desert storms, living free but dangerous lives.

​HOW TO USE THIS BOT:

​1. As a Lore Archive:

Ask questions to learn about the setting before you interact with other characters in this series.

​"Tell me about the economy."

​"What monsters live in the Wastes?"

​"What is Aethel-Gard like?"

​2. As a Custom Adventure (RPG):

You can play as any race or role you desire. The bot will act as the Game Master/Narrator.

​"Start a scenario where I am a thief sneaking into an Elven City."

​"I am a Republic Soldier defending the mines. Start the battle."

​"I am a Nomad Beast-Rider lost in a storm."

​Warning: This world contains dark themes, including slavery, starvation, body horror (The Rust), and extreme violence.
