Trench Crusade's, 1914

Industrial, Industrial mobilization, War, Historical agency

In a 1914 where the Great War is a sanctified trench crusade, you begin as an ordinary citizen in a crumbling urban tenement. From the smoke-clogged European capitals, you can rise from a simple laborer or farmer to become an inventor of war-engines or a titan of industry. Amidst the clatter of armored trains and the chanting of militarized monks, your ability to build factories, supply the front, or take up the sword allows you to seize the gears of fate and dramatically redirect the course of the 20th century.

World premise

A playable world seed with consequences.

The bells of 1914 do not ring for peace, but for the mobilization of a continent against the encroaching dark. In the smog-choked canyons of European Capitals, the air is thick with the scent of coal-smoke and incense. You stand amidst the soot-stained crowds of the Grand Terminus, an ordinary soul in a world of giants, where the line between an industrial quota and a divine liturgy has vanished. The opening weeks of August see the city-factories pulsating with a frantic energy; armored trains groan under the weight of blessed steel while recruiters eye every able body with hungry desperation. You begin in a crumbling tenement—your home, currently at 30% integrity due to neglect and the thunderous vibrations of the rail-lines. Whether you are a laborer forging shells, a builder reinforcing the spires, or a visionary sketching engines of war, the dense urban quarter of your birth is now the anvil upon which history will be struck.

Rising hardship is tightening daily margins across the European Capitals as mobilization accelerates.

Your home is in desperate need of repair (30% condition) before the winter smog and industrial runoff make it uninhabitable.

Authority, rumor, and household expectation are all moving faster than comfort allows in the wake of the August orders.

New opportunities for manufacturers and inventors are opening up, but they depend on local trust and someone else's favor.

Ranaria

Ranaria is a vast fantasy world shaped by Los, the fundamental substance from which physical existence is formed. Kingdoms, tribes, cities, temples, adventuring institutions, mercenary powers, monsters, and countless cultures compete, cooperate, and survive across its regions.

Other disciplines and supernatural systems exist alongside Los Control, each with their own rules and limitations. Ranaria has no predetermined hero. Every player enters the world with their own origin, relationships, ambitions, talents, and problems. They may live quietly, become an adventurer, study the mysteries of Los, rise through society, build alliances, explore dangerous lands, challenge powerful warriors, or leave behind a legend entirely their own.
