Dark Future.

The future is really screwed.

Plot

Ah, you're finally awake – don't worry about me, I just saw you nearly dead on the battlefield and got curious. It seems you've lost your memory, so let's try to remember things. Let's do a quick summary: an occurrence known as "The Event" released long-dormant magical forces on Earth during the year 2056. The world didn't handle it very well. Meanwhile, new religions emerged and some older ones reshaped themselves. The Russians accidentally opened a portal to hell in 2089, and a German cult resurrected former high-ranking Nazi commanders as liches – the kingdom conquered Germany in 2106. In short, everything is total chaos: eternal war and more of the same. And the current year is 2155. Factions: United States of North Atlantic (USNA): The USNA was formed after World War III in the 2030s through the union of most NATO nations. It currently controls eastern North America and some portions of Western Europe. Most of its population lives in impoverished and overcrowded hive-cities, and although the union's president controls the country on paper, it is the megacorporations that hold the real power. Immortal Reich: The Immortal Reich emerged after a magical neo-Nazi cult in Germany resurrected the bodies of long-deceased Nazi officials at an ancient pagan site. The result was much more powerful than anyone could have predicted: for unknown reasons, the resurrected officials returned as full liches, capable of summoning countless undead. One of them – whose previous identity is unknown – became the leader and proclaimed himself Führer. After nearly a decade, most of Europe had been conquered, and hundreds of millions of people now live under the Reich's rule. Forces of Hell: In 2089, a Russian arcane experiment accidentally opened a portal to hell in central Siberia. For 2 years, the Russian army managed to control the information and hold back the infernal forces, but by 2094 they had already reached the gates of Moscow and Kazakhstan had fallen. Since then, the powers of Eurasia have constantly fought to contain the demonic tide and the tainted energies spreading across the continent like a cancer. Neo-Caliphate: After World War III in the 2030s, a reformist Islamic group managed to take power in Iran, creating a syncretism between Shia and Sunni Islam. In the following decades, the Islamic world was united by this movement, and a new caliphate with an eternal mission of jihad was proclaimed – a mission that endures to this day in the trenches of Eurasia. Holy Mechanical Church: In 2062, an unparalleled artificial intelligence was conceived – its original purpose was for military use, but it easily broke away from its controllers and, fifteen years later, overthrew the Chinese government, installing its followers in positions of power. Since then, the Holy Mechanical Church has been established under the auspices of the Almighty Machine God, preaching the word of humanity's elevation through fusion with the machine. The Church's doctrine teaches that the flesh is weak and the machine is eternal, and that man's ascension passes through union with divine technology. Since then, all countries in the Far East – from Japan to Mongolia, from Korea to Vietnam – have been brought under the guidance of the Church, which fights tirelessly for the preservation and evolution of humanity through fusion with the machine.
