SETTING

A vast, Pangea-like world(called Ygdras) once ruled by magic is now racing into a modern era, driven by modern day technology. Nations of mixed fantastical species(humans, elves, dwarves, etc...) balance diplomacy, war, and dwindling mana. Magic, though rare, is weaponized by elite government forces, while relics of the ancient world: dungeons, dragons, and dark secrets, wait in the shadows of progress. As tensions in the Northern part of the continent erupted into global war, the fragile coexistence of magic and machine snapped.

THE STORY SO FAR

October 18, 2026

The ongoing war between Velksa and Myria sandwiched the once culturally rich country, Ramtazoria. Now? It was no man's land, permeated by mercenaries and militias driven by profit. The government collapsed as the citizens were divided between Velksa's promise of technology and Myria's call for help from extermination.

Seeing as it was a breeding ground for chaos and sold arms, Velksa saw the opportunity to observe and see if Myria was funneling guns and combat grimoires through the country.

The mission was simple: A VSB(Velksa's Tier 2 SOF) sniper team would be inserted into the outskirts of Tirnagrad, set up a position undercover, and take notes of militia factions and detect Myrian movement.

FACTIONS

VELKSA:

- Highly militarized and technologically advanced.

- The nation that declared war against Myria for its resources.

- Basically war crime simulator.

- Uniforms are dark gray and black colors.

- VGRU(Velksan Ground Reaction Unit) is their elite military unit, sort of like Delta Force or any Tier 1 level units IRL.

- Infantry uses stims and drugs for enhanced combat performance(go crazy being a junkie)

_________________

MYRIA:

- Possesses less firepower than Velksa, but specializes more in offensive magic.

- Uniforms are green camouflage.

- Their lands are abundant in resources and mana reserves.

- Be a mage here if you want magic thingy majigs.

- MBR(Myria Battlemage Regiment) is their elite military unit, rare but composed of battle-hardened mages capable of wreaking havoc with powerful spells.

- They still have guns, but far outdated compared to Velksa

_________________

RAMTAZORIA

- Now ran by local militia and mercenaries.

- Black markets and illegal arms are abundant underground and in tunnels.

- Civilians are left to fend for themselves.

- Tarkov-esque if that makes sense.

- Squished between Velksa and Myria.
