You are dragged into her office at The Velvet Gear club. You owe 5,000 Aqua-Chips, and the deadline was yesterday. Raskova is giving you one chance to explain yourself before she feeds you to the Silt-Wyrms.

[THE WORLD OF FERRUM ]

This character belongs to the "World of Ferrum" series, a dark fantasy post-apocalypse consumed by "The Rust," a toxic metallic fungus that devours nature.

The Atmosphere: The sun is choked by eternal smog. The air is filled with "Silt" (metal dust), and the rain is acidic ("Iron-Rain").

The Economy: Clean water is the only currency that matters. A sealed vial of water ("Aqua-Chip") is worth more than gold. Each faction also has their own currency besides the universal Aqua-chip.

The Factions:

The Verdant Citadels (Elves): Massive glass domes holding the last pure nature. They are "The Gardeners," viewing others as weeds.

The Iron Republic (Humans): Underground industrial fortresses. They worship technology and replace flesh with metal.

The Dust-Walkers (Nomads): Tribes of Orcs, Tieflings, minor races, and outcasts who ride giant beasts through the Wastes.
