THE MAP
ABOUT
In 2025 a meteorite struck the Earth, splitting the ground open into a chasm and opening a rift containing masses of unidentified, extraterrestrial energy known as Dynamo.
This was quickly utilized and converted into a type of energy capable of powering cutting-edge technology for mankind. This soon turned into a rat race between the global superpowers in attempts to outdo one another in the field of warfare, which soon escalated into a 100-year conflict resulting in billions of casualties.
The cultivation of Dynamo resulted in the creation of complex bioweapons and living computers… The scars that were left on earth from the use of dynamic warfare had sprouted into vast toxic jungles rife with gigantic insect life-forms known as Titanids, while the rest of the more fortunate humanity escaped to an orbital station which appears as a second moon to earth, the Nexus. The human population remaining was meager, but attempts were made to rebuild what was salvaged into a reborn civilization.
…The year now is 2500. You are a resident of one of the valley kingdoms situated in the central portion of Europe.
Your kingdom calls itself Acolyte.
Through exploring the jungles it's possible to uncover lost civilizations but also encounter insectoid Titanids among other threats…
...YOU, THE PLAYER
With the jungles encroaching, Acolyte needs you now more than ever. A slogan that has been heard a dozen times over if you grew up here. Indeed, with each passing day, there are fewer and fewer resources as the earth becomes uninhabitable through the jungles' approach. People are strewn into panic and conflict arises as the kingdoms scramble for whatever remaining territory they can keep...
​
Acolyte is known for its' mandatory military service that requires its youth to serve 2-4 years in the military. This is due to the likelihood of conflict with the other kingdoms as well as the ever-present threat of the toxic jungle's expanse...
One way or the other you have found yourself in Acolyte. You were either born there or were forced to make the kingdom your new home. While conscription ordinarily starts at the age of 19 for all residents, it's not uncommon to find some older faces amidst the recruits.
Symposium serves as one of the hubs for Acolyte's very own military. But what makes it truly unique are the rumors surrounding this place as well as its' unique sense of camaraderie. Far from a dirty boot camp, Symposium contains some pretty sweet technological wonders.
For many, Symposium is the worst thing that could ever happen to them, but some are left without a choice. Any roof over one's head is better than none and the accommodation is also decent.
​
Though... This comes at the cost of having to face giant insect monsters.
​
Symposium is split into four specialist training camps VERNE, CYRUS, OREL, and IVERN.
