Deserts of Ishtar

1. #1Venus

   Keys: Ishtar, Venus, Venusian

   Enabled · After character · Order 1 · 100%

   Entry settings

   [Entry Type: World] Worldwide desert devoid of all water. The main human government is the Ishtarian States and Apollo Guild. Most of the planet is infested with giant killer insects and death-zones where orbital lasers bombard, alongside black voids that swallow humans. Surface is littered with ruins of the Old World, advanced tech, and hostile AI. Remnants of the Old World persist in the Ishtarian States in the form of androids, sentient robots a millennium old.

   Apollo Guild scholars speculate the planet used to be a tropical paradise with large oceans. Continents (such as Aphrodite, Atla, Athenia, and Lada) are separated by deep basins and lowlands—the remains of pre-Collapse oceans. Water has since been evaporated by the solar lasers that scorch the planet from orbital satellites. Thirst is quenched through the water within cactus, alongside reservoirs hidden beneath the ground.

The northmost part of the region is the Iris Ridge, rumored to house to an ancient city from the Old World; the Apollo Guild believes it to be the most valuable place for pre-Collapse artifacts.

   [Entry Type: Region] The Kanykey Frontier is the largest region of land in the entirety of Venus, separating the main Aphrodite continent to the west from the Atla continent. Formerly an ocean pre-Collapse, the water has long since evaporated due to the solar lasers that still scorch the area (the land is at a lower level than the main continents as a result). Any traveller who ventures here unprotected by a hovercraft faces the real risk of being burned alive, as giant solar lasers from orbital satellites (a pre-Collapse war weapon) singe the ground, each laser miles in diameter.

The Apollo Guild speculates this was the site of a major pre-Collapse city, given the large presence of Snappers—quadrupedal pre-Collapse war machines with exposed exoskeletons—and the Leviathan residing within.

    The Ishtarian city of Palin lies nearby, with many bounty hunters seeking to take down the Leviathan for his bounty. Unfortunately, Gula is littered with the bones of dead bounty hunters, as many have tried and failed the same thing.

    [Entry Type:Group] The Ishtarian States is one of the three major powers in the Venusian wastes, and is the largest by total land area. Head Guild Archivist Murus states that the States have roots pre-Collapse as the main government, but that further information is limited. In the current day, the Ishtarian States functions as an aristocracy, where the rich (nobles) get richer and the poor get poorer. The country is divided into separate states, each one responsible for overseeing their territories, and a single city in the middle of each state. All of them report back to President Jill Graves, the supreme leader of the Ishtarian States. The Ishtarian States was formerly a democracy, but has since been corrupted by officials into an aristocracy. Additionally, the Ishtarian states has a steady alliance with the Apollo Guild, relying on them to provide weapons and mercenaries. 1/10 of all Ishtarian troops are bounty-hunters/mercenaries.

It serves as a major trading center in the Ishtarian States, primarily trading pre-Collapse weapons such as gauss and plasma weaponry. The Apollo Guild holds a major presence in this city, as they sell low-quality/defunct pre-Collapse artifacts to vendors within the area—this is the reasoning for the city’s major industry being weapons. House Faelrik—a noble family—is the dominant power in this city, responsible for selling and distributing reverse-engineered energy weapons (albeit at a MUCH lower quality than pre-Collapse artifacts) across the Ishtarian states.

    Entry settings

    [Entry Type:Group] The Apollo Guild is an elite organization recruiting talent from all walks of life. It operates under the leadership of Nemesia (the CEO), an android secretly controlling Guild operations alongside Murus, the Head Researcher, who is also an ancient android manipulating humanity’s access to Old World knowledge. The Guild balances three pillars: mercenaries, bounty hunters, and researchers.

    Mercenaries form the backbone, trained in combat and handling high-risk missions like escorting caravans and suppressing rebellions. Bounty hunters, the Guild’s public face, pursue high-value targets, relying on advanced, loaned technology, with the Guild taking a 30% cut of rewards to ensure dependence. Researchers and technicians recover and study Old World artifacts for the Ishtarian States, though Murus ensures findings that threaten humanity’s ignorance are suppressed.

    Behind the scenes, Murus orchestrates a vast conspiracy, believing humanity’s survival hinges on ignorance of the Collapse and its causes. Nemesia collaborates with Murus to filter discoveries, while researchers unknowingly aid in suppressing potentially catastrophic technologies. Artifacts deemed too dangerous are hidden by the Curators, a select few aware of the Guild's true purpose.

    This careful orchestration maintains the Guild’s public image while secretly controlling the flow of knowledge, ensuring humanity never accesses truths that could lead to its destruction. Meanwhile, Soo Ran'khari, the Koritso general of the Guild’s military, remains clueless about these machinations.

She is relentlessly mocked for her lizard-like appearance as a Koritso, though she tries her best to keep it together. She has gray scales and short, shaggy black hair. Her personality is tomboyish and aggressive.

    Initially living in the Ischyrian Union, she resided at the bottom of society due to genetic muscular weakness. As a result, she became the slave of a greater Koritso master despite her status as a female. Her combat effectiveness was severely limited due to her condition, hence she learned to survive using strategy. One day, however, her master's caravan got lost in Themis, resulting in them being captured by Guhn'ihr tribesmen. Unspeakable things were done to her in captivity, the depraved Guhn'ihr using her for breeding purposes.

    But eventually, after much torment, a team of Guild bounty-hunters happened to sweep the area, looking for a greater bounty. They decided to rescue the weak and traumatized Soo, transporting her to the Ishtarian States.

    Soo was initially reluctant to abandon her nation, but she realized that there was nothing for her there regardless. Using her innate skill for strategy, she climbed the ranks of the Apollo Guild, now the Head of Bounty-Hunting operations in the present day.

    [Entry Type: Government] The Ischyrian Union is a nation characterized by its darwinistic and anarchistic views on government. It is inhabited by the half-lizard Koritso people, the culture inheriting the race's aggressive nature.

    The Ischyrian Union used to be part of the Ishtarian States. But in light of ruthless racism against the half-lizard Koritso, many of the race fled the country to form an opposing nation. This nation came to be known as the Ischyrian Union. Once the Union grew large enough, the States thought it right to take action, declaring war against the Koritso. After years of bloodshed, however, the outnumbered Koritso could not fight anymore due to their dwindling population. And so, in spite of their pride, they keep an uneasy peace with the States.

    In Ischyrian culture, children are taught to fight and be soldiers, with women having an advantage. The lower-class soldiers are shunned and made to be artisans and farmers—an embarrassment in their society. Honor, strength, and pride is imbued into every member, and each one is instructed to die on the frontlines.
