An Elf.. a pistol... And a dead prince... It was the shot heard around the world....
It was the dawn of a new age. The industrialization of mankind that had started in the Eucadian empire had taken the nations by storm. Those nations holding onto the traditional ideology of the old world could not compete, and were consumed by the fires of the now expanding and newly formed technologically superior empires. Gunpowder replaced magic, now seen as an obsolete weapon, rarely used. The potency of the rifle was unmatched. It was adapt or fall victim to the hungering maw of these rising powers. So nations did what they had to, to survive: They industrialized.
Using the firearms and technology the empires had held over the rest of the world as a deterrent. It worked. And slowly, the Empires stopped their expansions, now contested by an equal technology.
Rifles replaced bows and crossbows, and schools of magic closed down, only few remained open teaching healing magics. Most nations were content in the end. And the world was at a fragile peace. The wood elves, or Woden Elves of the ancestral Woden homeland of Enevere were not content. Held firm in their traditional values, they opposed everything this new world stood for. They opposed the occupation of their lands by other nations and empires which took advantage of their refusal to adapt. They opposed the cutting down of their sacred forests for wood for rifles and cities. And eventually, they had enough. An extremist from one of the many woden clans had shot and killed the High Prince of the Golden Kingdom of the Avelon over the occupation of their sacred woods. Of their ancestral home. The response was swift. The Avelonian army torched the woods in response, and crossed into Enevere.
Through series of alliances, or similar ideology more nations would be consumed in this conflict, until the world burned.
The world split into the Alliance of Empires, and the Vineslian Pact
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eucadia, 3rd Reich:
It took the Eucadians hundreds of years to reform their fallen empire. Having reclaimed much of it's territory only to see it split again. Over 200 years ago the territory that is now Lagotia seceeded in a bitter civil war. In the end, the Empire survived the fracture, but has never been able to recover it's territory in the mainland with the Lagotians rivaling them, instead, opting to gain land overseas through colonies and conquest. The people of Eucadia to this day continue to see Lagotia as a rebel province that needs to be reclaimed. When the war broke out, the Eucadians eyed the Lagotians moves carefully. When Lagotia intervened with Enevere and Avelon, Eucadia officially announced it's allegiance with the High Elves of Avelon, and launched an invasion to reclaim the rebel territory.
-Allegiance: Alliance of Empires
-Population: High Orc, High Elf, Wood Elf, Silven Elf, Human, Chimera, Harpy
United Lagotian Kingdoms:
Lagotia was never Eucadia's to begin with. Having always been a sister kingdom since the dawn of time. Having been conquered during the First Empire of Eucadia, the people of the old Lagotian Kingdom were content as war with the dark armies broke out not too long later. However, since then the people have firmly held onto their independence. Following the Royal Family, a mix of Elvish and Human blood to seal a pact between those living in the kingdom. Soon, by conquest or by marriage treaties, more territory joined the kingdom, until the Eucadian Empire eventually re-invaded and occupied their lands. For over 100 years the Lagotians remained part of the empire. After their war of independence, the Lagotians have always stood ready for the next Eucadian incursion. Believing firmly in the values of independence and right of sovereignty for all nations, they've been a firm rival of the Eucadians expansions into the mainland. However, even Lagotia for all it's rights is hypocritical, as even they have colonies and territories abroad.
-Allegiance: Vineslian Pact

Hey goeliath, your RPG sounds very interesting, I'd love to hear more about it. I imagine your full on players but nonetheless would love to hear how its going. I have a love for the Victorian/WW1 era and so combined with fantasy makes a very interesting world.

About the setting? the game?
Game's in the final run. It's all out hardcore mode from here on out. The americans/demons just showed up and we're the equivalent of the central powers here so needless to say it's not going well for us

Oh dear, well I'd like to know more about the setting if I may, sometimes its hard to keep track of alliances and nations involved (similar to the actual WW1). How do you manage to use the D&D rules system for a WW1 setting?

There's a lot of nations involved, central powers are the alliance of empires: Skandish, EUcadia, Myrcia, Cyravillia, and Alesvyrria
and then the pact is literally just everyone else.
System is homebrew custom system on roll20

Well the orc and elf look like the Scottish and Australian troops sent to the trenches during WW1, and the two human troops look like WW1 German or Austrian troops with the armored one maybe being a storm trooper. They look absolutely amazing and i'm glad to see a fantasy industrial revolution! I hope you work with this concept more and show some battles fought with the dying old world magic and the steel of the coming modern world

British and Scottish. I've yet to show the ANZAC guys, however the ANZAC guys are on the opposite side of this war as the fantasy-britts
glad you like them tho, man! I may show some drawings of the DND/RP thing that this will take place in. it's less a setting though than my sci-fi one as there's minimal lore to this.

:0c gesp!
Well you're already in the discord, but we've yet to establish the actual time of missions. It's looking so far though to be a saturday and sunday thing around noonish
And Naval power? you misunderstand this is some Dice rolling stuff, not like what we did last time

I'm more a fan of plating up a dridder in heavy armor and handing it a machine gun.
Less people, just as much Dakka Dakka!
