Hellworld
A World Unlike Your Own
A World Unlike Your Own
"I want to rule the world." Said the beggar to his queen.
"Why?" She asked?
"Because my queen, I will simply be the first to do so."

A world unlike your own where pristine coast have morphed into jagged coastlines, continents once thought the realm of fiction are a close or distant reality, and the only universal truth that remains in that life will find a way. Much like our own world thousands of years ago in a bygone century before any concept of time, when our ancestors still roamed in packs for survival the first few would make a trek outside the home continent. Bringing forth a series of migrations that would culminate centuries further in the founding of Jericho, the first city.
What happened after that is subject to debate, ridicule, and revision. The first states would rise along the fertile crescent of the Middle East the mighty empires of the Akkadian, Babylonian, and Aegyptians. Distantly other fledgling states along the Indus and Yangtze too would rise, mentions of nomadic peoples along the Central Asian steppe and Eastern European plain. A growth in culture in what would be considered the Near East, trade and war, economics that linked each of the vital empires, and the birth of the first religion Violetism. A world in near tranquility, and then collapse. It would rebuild itself however with newer states, lessons learned from the past expansion of new great empires within the Iranian plateau, Danubian River, and Southern Balkans.
The common trend of history would follow an empire would rise and empire would fall. In peace new concepts of religion, ideology, and societal policy would be tested or banned. A people conquered would be at the mercy of their conquerors. People who were once kings would be subject to constant harassment and near extinction. Disease would spread and ravage a population, technology would increase, and the capacity of great destruction....and great kindness would be realized. As the empires of old expanded from their confinement of the world they would spread along the seas of creation to new distant and far away lands. Spreading as much trade, ideology, and policy as they did disease.
At some point old structures are challenged and in rare instances dismantled. A great war or two later, and now everyone gets a say at the table and it only took two semi-thousand years to do so. Least that's the story I was told, but war is hell and this world is hell. Why reform something that may collapse centuries later? And yet some try, some don't, and some live their day by day lives far away from such petty morality content to be primed and ready to react to any and all situations that befall them and yet lack initiative pursue their own policy.
Enough of this...
Let's talk about Terra or the Hellworld. The world you will in only the most brief of moments will inhabit with your nation (hopefully).
It is a world similar to yours and mine and yet different in very key ways. Like chemical reaction gone awry its a world of constant action and reaction forces pressing on it as great internally as externally, and yet it still stands in all its beauty. Where religions are dedicated to gods and colors of a rainbow, a concept of culture can be subjective, and where extra-terrestrial neighbors like to visit from time to time but please.....sssshhhh about that part. Its a world as free as you (really me) will allow it to be, but be quick and be cunning.
Freedom comes at cost and so does the pursuit of one's dreams. One must be keen and deadly in the political arena ready to play the hand of war as they are peace and a true tactician within the great game of politics. However the possibility of plunder is open to all and spoils too great to resist!
