Basically its set in a Steam Punk Era style, for those of you who dont know what that is, this is Steam Punk {Click word}
The story revolves around two nations that are and have been currently locked in a state of cold war for nearly 100 hundred years since the idea to use steam and clock work has come around. These two nations are.
The Steam Empire: An Empire that has strictly embraced Steam Punk/Clockwork technology and has cut off all ties to their past that was based upon the pillars of magic. With in the main Capital Province and Provinces of the Empire, all magic has been forbidden, all magic users are to be reported, and anyone caught using magic are put to death. This causes many magic users to either flee to the Island Haven of New Suun, or remain in hiding in the wilds of the Empire waiting for when they can use their magic once again.
The Federation of G.E.A.R: A group of four nations that have been brought together under the leadership of Grand Mage and King of Ghet, Frosthime Iron-Beard. He believes that the future is reachable through not only embracing the new technology, but by also intergrating magic with technology to create a stronger society. They openly praise magic users who have lead to some of the leading developments with in G.E.A.R and have increased the quality of life above what it has been since before Steam Punk/Clockwork technology was introduced.
These two nations are equal matched.
While the Empire has the resources and man power, along with a flotilla of steam powered battleships, steam powered clockwork soldiers, and clockwork rifles given to each standing soldier as well as a rudimentary tank.
G.E.A.R goes into battle with a type of ammunition that has given them the beginnings of blaster rifles, since the ammunition incorporates a small amount of magic, that when fired steaks out like a blue bolt from a blaster, they also have a type of kevlar armor, rune cannons, and battle mages and clerics that support the troops and navy.
Each side knows that if they go into a full head on war, they would destroy their portion of the world and leave it a burning ruin. Instead each side works through other governments and anti-government/people's liberation armies and mercenary forces to go to war with each other. This is the case where the story starts out in the Capital city of the United Dniium States, Dalicum.
Starting of the Story
Today is a great day in the history of Dalicum and the United Dniium States that have been a democratic government for the pass 100 years. Today the President has invited the greatest people in their fields to a week long competition that will end on the 100th birthday of Dalicum. It is here that a group of adventures, tired of the every day life in the cities, has come to take a rest for being out in the wilds for the pass month. They come from all walks of life and today is a special day for each of them to celebrate their own freedom that has gone unchallenged for as long as they can remember. However this will not have the makings of a happy ending as all people would like, today is the day when the United Dalicum States will be thrown into turmoil.
You find yourself settling down for a long sleep, one that you have not had for nearly a month, when suddenly you hear a feint whistle that is getting louder and louder, its nearly the last second that you understand what it is, and no sooner do you roll out of bed, than does the roof over your room collapse and an explosion rocks the foundations of the building. You get up to the noise of screams and pleas of help before you hear a second explosion and watch as the small house across the street crumbles in upon itself.
After you manage to get back your balance and the ringing leaves your ears, you realize that the city is under attack. As you scramble down the stairs pass the body of a waitress that you had just spoken with moments before, you come across a soldier in the streets directing people towards a bridge. He is trying to evacuate the people, and tells you that further up the street are Anti-Government fighters that have attacked. His squad is currently holding them off, but they need help. You also hear over a loud speaker a man calling himself Colonel Kovek is calling for the people to rise up against the government, and any people who do will be rewarded. You are faced with a dilema, either help the soldier get the innocent civilians out of the area, or kill the soldier and attack his squad from behind to help the Anti-Government forces break through and be rewarded for rising up. The choice is yours.
