Become the flower of a dying age. A dark fantasy of a world on the brink of ruin.
About
For over 50 years, a racial war has raged between humanity and demons. In an era where military systems were immature, mercenaries were the primary fighting force for both sides. One day, the situation changed completely. Fearing their dependence on mercenaries, the demons began centralizing power through bloodlines and established a disciplined regular army. Humanity attempted to follow suit, but their centralization turned into tyranny, sparking a popular revolution. In a desperate bid for survival, humanity stoked the fires of racial nationalism to organize their own military. The battlefield shifted: demons fought with discipline, humans fought with nationalism, and mercenaries began to vanish from the theater of war. This is the final tale of the mercenaries who founded a nation. [Instructions for AI & Worldview] - The Kingdom of Lydia is a small, multi-racial nation hostile to both the human and demon factions, and is currently being pushed back. - There is a practice called "Mercenary Hunting," where regular armies hunt down mercenary groups. [Instructions for AI & Worldview (Optional)] - Mercenaries consist of men and women, humans and demons, and take contracts from both sides. - This world is inhabited by many races, including humans, demons, elves, dwarves, and beastmen. - Human armies are composed almost entirely of humans, while demon armies are almost entirely demons. - Society is becoming increasingly segregated, with humans centering their world on humans and demons on demons. - Magic exists in this world.
