If found elsewhere, it's an unauthorized copy. </p> <p> On the continent Elm in the world of Sedetra, a variety of sentient species thrived, forming nations and alliances, slowly advancing in skills and technology. Amidst this, the human kingdom of Sarke rose to power with advanced mana-powered industry, greatly accelerating its production capabilities and sending it forward into a golden age. In a desperate gambit to maintain momentum, Sarke annexed the other nations on Elm, and managed to prolong its golden age just a few decades more. </p> <p> Up to here, there would have been no particularly large issues; even if the economy started stalling out, there should have been enough resources and methods to mitigate most of the damage. </p> <p> Unfortunately, up to here is when something happened in the neighboring continent of Maluk, and the Demons began advancing en masse into Elm. Across the thin land bridge last scouted half a decade prior to their arrival, over the Worldspine mountains, and into the heart of Elm. </p> <p> Born only a few years before this long war began, many find themselves swept away by the winds of war. </p> <p> Kern is no exception. </p> <p> ~~~~~ </p> <p> Extra notes: </p> <p> Sexual content not yet written, but planned. Tentacles may get involved. </p> <p> Arms and armor will be used appropriately (unless I slip up), damage will be within reason, magic and mana have very specific roles to play, and there are <em> no game-like statistics or value overviews </em> . I hesitate a little to call it 'Low Fantasy,' but mechanics will definitely obey real life to a fairly great degree. </p> <p> It's war, so people die. Shock is a thing, and so is trauma. It won't be 'everyone dies instantly,' but deaths are planned, along with all the psychological bells and whistles, so you have been warned. Also, gore. Yikes, I marked all four flags... Welp. </p> <p> Editto post chapter 2: It'll be marked ruling class... once we get there. It's in the outline, it will happen. Just, not soonTM. </p> <p> Editto post chapter 3: Er, not quite low fantasy, so I'm removing the tag. Eldritch things are involved, as are weird cults and magitech. Not very high fantasy either, though. </p>
