A century ago, the sun was swallowed by a war that should have ended in a season but metastasized into a grotesque ritual. This is Earth, but not the one that ever made it into our history books. Mana seeped up through the crust like groundwater; alchemists weaponized it before philosophers could even argue about ethics.

The first shells screamed through the sky in 1914. The sky hasn’t been seen since 1928.

Magically-enhanced mustard gas, “Mirewind,” turned the surface into a shimmering golden death fog. Birds dropped out of the air, oceans hissed like boiling kettles, forests wilted into lacquered bone. Anyone aboveground suffocated, hallucinated, or rotted alive.

Humanity burrowed.

What followed was the Age of Tunnels. Not trenches. Not foxholes. A full planetary anthill war.

THE TWO TITANS

The Old Empire

Gas masks brittle. Ammunition nearly lore. Ventilation systems coughing like dying lungs. Morale a threadbare quilt of duty, superstition, and desperate pride.

Once glorious, now draped in soot and hunger.

Aesthetic

Medieval-futuristic scraps. Plate cuirasses reinforced by bolted boiler plates. Spears tipped with repurposed bayonets. Helmets etched with faded sigils meant to ward off magic poisoning.

Magic Access

Weak, flickering. Their mages have largely died or defected. Rely on “death magic” — scavenged residues, rituals meant to stabilize structures, fortify bodies, or make blades bite through armor.

Condition

Living quarters cramped to the point of madness. Children grow pale and long-boned from underground life. Water tastes like rust and fungus. Ventilation systems groan constantly, cycling in just enough air to avoid suffocating.

Roles Unique to Old Empire

1. Lanternbearers

Children or teens with mild magical sensitivity who can “sense” gas pockets, structural weaknesses, or enemy tunneling through psychic vibrations. They carry whale-oil lamps and wear bone necklaces that rattle at certain frequencies.

Half revered, half pitied.

2. Rotwardens

Sanitation knights. Their job: stop disease from wiping out entire cavern towns. They wield hooked staves, cleaning charms, and fire spells to burn filth. Also the ones who cremate the fallen.

3. Ironskalds

Tunnel bards. They coordinate formations with resonant chants that magically strengthen morale and steel. The magic only works underground. They fight with short picks.
