And now the page before us blurs.
An age is done. The book must close.
We are abandoned to history.
Raise high one more time the tattered standard
Of the Fallen. See through the drifting smoke
To the dark stains upon the fabric.
This is the blood of our lives, this is the
Payment of our deeds, all soon to be
Forgotten.
We were never what people could be.
We were only what we were.
Remember us

"All keeps hold a Gate, all castles Gates."
Lord Pain of Shigeinama
And so, time has passed the creatures that came after the Imperium look now only at the Gates as a relic of an unknown age, a sign of their deities, or what have you, most having forgotten just exactly what those Gates were made for. Attempts to turn them back on failed. Attempts to destroy them failed as the Gates were made of an unknown silver alloy that could not be harmed by any weapon or magic. Likewise, attempts to move them proved fruitless, for the Gates were embedded deep within the earth and resisted all attempts.
However, as the myriad species of the World Tree go about their lives, they forget the Gates and Magic, once the bounding force for all races, was forgotten by some and replaced by Science. But, there is coming a time when the Gates will once more activate, opening the worlds back up to each other.
And a new Imperium shall rise.
SO! Basically the story is this: You each play as a world or nation that was once ruled by the Imperium in MANY ages past. You decide what will happen when the Gates, for seemingly random reasons, reactivate and reconnect each one of your world's to each other, whether you go a'conquering or if you form a mighty trade cartel.
RULES:
1) No Godmodding or Meta-Gaming
2) While this is a fantasy rp and I expect some pretty amazing stuff, please keep it based in reality. For instance, if your character starts walking to point A to point B and point B is a thousand miles away, it should take a while.
3) No steamrolling other races or other players just because you can.
4) No massively powerful races like Gods and what not. Dragons are allowed, but please sparingly.
5) While some worlds explored science instead of magic, the technology level is reminiscent of steampunk, around early 20th Century.
6) While there are weapons of mass destruction in real life, I will not allow their use in this RP. They defeat the purpose of this RP.
7 ) This is an alternate world and has no connection whatsoever with our world. So, for that reason, there will be no mention of a Roman Empire, Leonardo Da Vinci, or what have you. They never existed.
8 ) The uninhabited world appears as our world for familiarity.
9) ONE GATE FOR EACH WORLD APP UNLESS THAT WORLD HAS MORE THAN ONE PLAYER NATION!!!
10) On the uninhabited world, each Gate must be at least fifty miles from another.
11) There are allowed to be more than one nation on your world, and is preferred, but only ONE nation has a Gate in it. That nation with a Gate is the player nation.
12) There are no doomsday weapons laying around on the unknown world. Only ruins, rubble, and what not.
13)If you wish to play as a Nation on another player's world, you are allowed to do so. Just fill out the Nation App and ignore the World App except for the location of where you are.
14) It is possible to have magic and science in your app.

Co-Op Rules
1) Co-Ops are allowed to accept Apps as long as BOTH Co-Ops accept the app. After accepting, they will TG me the APP to be added to the list.
2) There shall be TWO Co-Ops
3) Co-Ops are allowed to make a natural phenomenon occur or a sickness break out.
4) Co-Ops are NOT allowed to be Biased towards a player just because said player is attacking Co-Ops world, nation, or what have you.
HOW GATES WORK AND THEIR SIZE AND PROPORTIONS:
A Gate stands at a mile high and run a mile deep into the ground and a mile wide. They are about fifty feet thick and made of a mysterious silver alloy found nowhere else on your world with millions of strange stylistic glyph covering their entire surface. When activated, lightning will play across their surface and then a light will start to shine in the center until a shape begins to appear. You can see into the other world and the step through is painless and without discomfort, although the environment on the other side might be radically different from the one you just stepped from.
Each GATE leads to the same uninhabited (by sentient life) world. What your nations will not know is that this world was once the home world of the Imperium. This uninhabited world is inhabited by millions of ruins, rubble, and what not of a once civilized world, but for whatever reason is no empty of sentient life.
A NOTE ON HEROES:
Heroes are the champions of your world or nation. They have a sizable impact on battles between players and add a level of depth to the RP that would otherwise be missing.
