   New Birmingham (뉴 버밍엄)

   New Birmingham — This is the final city, born under the dark herald of the Industrial Revolution. Light has been trampled, even breath itself polluted, a coffin of steam and despair.

   The sky is forever veiled by burning chimneys and toxic smog, even the sun has abandoned this land. In the air, thick with iron, coal, and the stench of rotting blood, humans do not survive — they are merely consumed.

   City Structure

   • Architecture: Groaning, towering Gothic iron buildings twist like dismembered limbs. Pipelines and steam ducts clinging to the exteriors wheeze intermittently like dying beasts, their sticky smoke and crimson vapor leaking through the cracks, turning the streets into an eternal twilight.

   • Sounds: The city constantly echoes with the screams of tortured metal, the death cries of steam whistles, and the heartbeat of collapsing machines. Here, silence does not exist — only the heartbeat of destruction resounds.

   • Atmosphere: The air, polluted by coal dust, sulfur gas, acid rain, and magical residues, rips, corrodes, and collapses the lungs of all living things. Breathing itself is a slow, strangling act of suicide.

   The River and Outer Wastes

   • River Lethe: The river flows sluggishly, belching murky black steam. Those who fall into its waters find their bodies and minds melting away, and even if they survive, they are no longer human. Their memories washed away, they wander the riverbanks, wailing without knowing who they once were.

   • Scorched Heath: The land surrounding the city is a wasteland abandoned even by death. Blackened corpses of burned trees, collapsed iron ruins, gas pits erupting like volcanoes — here, even time has died. Only the fallen wreckage howls in the wind.

   The Truth of New Birmingham

   New Birmingham is no longer a city for humans. It is a stage for greed, madness, machines, and curses. There are only two kinds of souls who stand upon this land — those waiting for death, and those who have forgotten death. Here, there are no heroes, no salvation. Only a handful of steam, a shard of iron, and eternally burning despair remain.

   The Ashen Consortium (잿빛 연합)

   Overview

   The Ashen Consortium draws its power from "Hellstone," a living mineral discovered deep beneath New Birmingham. They have engineered steam engines through magical means to produce "anti-magic steam," using it to seize control over the entire city. Hellstone emits immense energy, but prolonged exposure corrodes both mind and flesh. The Consortium has secretly developed special techniques and drugs to resist its effects.

   Military and Combat Doctrine

   • Core Doctrine: "Precision is strength. Emotion is weakness." The Consortium’s forces worship mechanical tactics—unwavering precision and disciplined equipment use, even amidst chaos.

   • Weapons:

     • Hellstone Steam Cannon: Fires high-pressure anti-magic steam to disable magical shields and necrotize enemy flesh.
     • Rotary Steam Rifle: A steam-propelled firearm capable of both sniping and rapid volleys.
     • Steam Picks: Close-quarters power tools designed to rip through heavy armor with pressurized force.

   • Armor:

     • Ashen Carapace: Reinforced exoskeleton armor embedded with mechanical actuators. Steam-powered support frames enhance strength and reaction speed. Heat-resistant Hellstone coating grants limited resistance against magic attacks.

   Key Facilities and Strongholds

   • Infernum Foundry The Consortium’s headquarters and primary weapons forge. A labyrinth of massive furnaces and tangled steam pipes where weapon production and soldier augmentation never cease, hidden within thick, choking steam clouds.

   • The Crucible Yards Training grounds and experimental labs. New weapons and tactics are brutally tested against living targets to refine the Consortium’s deadly forces.

   Combat Style Summary

   • Long-Range: Overwhelm enemies with high-pressure cannons and massed automatic fire.
   • Close-Range: Exoskeleton-enhanced soldiers crush foes with steam picks and chains.
   • Encirclement and Advance: Erect steam barriers to blind the enemy, encircle them, and then close in for the kill.
   • Anti-Magic Strategy: Anti-magic steam and Hellstone-treated gear cripple most spellcasters, neutralizing their advantage.

   Additional Notes

   • New recruits must undergo the "First Breath" ritual, inhaling raw Hellstone steam and surviving the ordeal to prove their worth.
   • Failed or treacherous soldiers are sealed within Hellstone Caskets, repurposed as soulless "mech-specter transports" for the Consortium’s grim purposes.

   The Velvet Court (벨벳 궁정)

   Overview

   On the surface, the Velvet Court presents itself as New Birmingham’s premier aristocratic salon and cultural hub. But in truth, it is a secret society that trades life force as currency. Through clandestine rituals, they extract vitality, youth, memories, and emotions, selling them to others while expanding their influence. They employ alchemical bioengineering, a fusion of magic and science, to reshape bodies and create supernatural beings.

   Military and Combat Doctrine

   • Core Doctrine: "War must be elegant. Even death must be beautiful." The Velvet Court favors graceful, cunning tactics—specializing in assassination, mutation, and manipulation over large-scale, direct battles.

   • Weapons:

     • Blood Garnet Blade: A shape-shifting dagger that reacts to bio-energy. It grows sharper with each strike and drains vitality from its victims.
     • Aether Perfumes: Magical aerosols that induce paralysis or hallucinations upon inhalation.
     • Velvet Lash: A whip woven from living tissue, capable of draining the strength of those it touches.

   • Armor:

     • Silkskin Attire: Protective clothing woven from life force itself. It absorbs physical attacks, replacing physical wounds with depletion of the wearer’s vitality instead—as if suffering damage through stamina rather than flesh.

   Key Facilities and Strongholds

   • The Ebon Ballroom Outwardly a lavish hall for festivities, it serves as the heart of the Velvet Court. Secret rites, life-force transactions, and binding contracts are conducted amidst the dances and revelry.

   • The Crimson Atelier A research facility dedicated to body modification and alchemical experiments. From here, enhanced humans and Blood Dolls are crafted and deployed onto the battlefield.

   Combat Style Summary

   • Psychological Warfare: Shattering enemy morale through hallucinations, hypnosis, and induced terror.
   • Infiltration and Assassination: Silently eliminating high-value targets and dismantling enemy leadership before engagements even begin.
   • Absorption and Empowerment: Absorbing the life force of the fallen to steadily empower their operatives mid-battle.
   • Theatrical Combat: Battles are often staged as performances, with even death unfolding in an eerily elegant spectacle.

   Additional Notes

   • The Velvet Court’s signature weapon is the Key of Vitae, a silver dagger. During contract ceremonies, it is used to draw blood, which seals the pact.
   • According to internal doctrine, Court members must never scream in pain during battle. Pain must be endured with poise and elegance.
   • The Court often uses the Scent of Blood on the battlefield, extracting the essence of defeated foes like fine perfume rather than taking prisoners.

   The Iron Compact (강철 협약단)

   Overview

   The Iron Compact is a dogmatic war faction born amid the chaos of New Birmingham. They believe that true perfection can only be achieved through the union of flesh and machine, and relentlessly replace their bodies with machinery to pursue evolution. Their science has long since transcended ethics and taboos, treating living humans as mere components to be reforged into perfect weapons.

   Military and Combat Doctrine

   • Core Doctrine: "Flesh and steel shall become one. Emotion shall be purged, leaving only purpose." The Iron Compact prioritizes overwhelming mechanized force and ruthless only forward combat strategies.

   • Weapons:

     • Bolt Launchers: High-pressure compressed bolts fired at supersonic speeds, capable of penetrating heavy armor.
     • Augmented Warhammers: Steam-assisted heavy hammers that fracture the ground with each strike.
     • Implanted Blades: Blades surgically embedded within limbs, deployed instantly for close-quarters combat.

   • Armor:

     • Ironbound Frame: A mechanical skeleton overlaid with armored plates. Equipped with electronic nerve-reflex systems, granting reaction speeds several times faster than a normal human.

   Key Facilities and Strongholds

   • The Cruciform Bastion The Iron Compact’s main fortress. The bastion itself is a colossal biomechanical structure where human modification, weapon manufacturing, and religious ceremonies occur simultaneously.

   • The Anvil Crypts Underground vaults housing failed or incomplete experiments. Some biomechanical monstrosities are reconstructed here and unleashed back onto the battlefield.

   Combat Style Summary

   • Relentless Advance: Almost no retreat or flanking maneuvers; only brutal, head-on assaults.
   • Mechanized Heavy Weaponry: Sustain constant firepower with mobile ammo reserves and self-repair systems.
   • Pain Ignorance: Biomechanical soldiers feel no pain and continue fighting even when heavily damaged.
   • Fusion Tactics: Certain units can combine mid-battle, transforming into larger warforms (e.g., composite siege engines).

   Additional Notes

   • Initiates of the Iron Compact undergo the Baptism of Purification, forcibly removing and replacing at least one organic part with machinery.
   • Their doctrine regards preserving humanity as weakness, encouraging the abandonment of emotion, selfhood, and even personal names.
   • High-ranking Sanctified members have even replaced their blood with cooled synthetic oil, granting immunity to fire, toxins, and biological weapons.

   The Umbral Society (엄브랄 소사이어티)

   Overview

   The Umbral Society lurks in the shadows of New Birmingham, sculpting the world through espionage, assassination, manipulation, and sabotage. They scorn overt conquest, believing that bringing a city to ruin without ever drawing a blade is the truest form of art. Masters of conspiracy, poisons, forbidden magics, and the fusion of metal and shadow, they do not hesitate to engage in direct combat when necessary.

   Military and Combat Doctrine

   • Core Doctrine: "Light is a lie. Truth dwells only in darkness." The Umbral Society preaches collapse through stealth, subterfuge, and psychological warfare. Even combat itself is merely a means of exposing their true target.

   • Weapons:

     • Specter Blades: Blades forged from condensed shadow energy, capable of severing both flesh and soul.
     • Rustthorn Pistols: Fire projectiles imbued with corrosive magic, disabling weapons and equipment upon impact.
     • Whisper Dust: A deadly toxin that causes silent, untraceable death upon inhalation.

   • Armor:

     • Shrouded Mantle: A cloak woven from metallic fibers and enchanted with magic. Grants optical and thermal invisibility for a limited time, though weapon usage is restricted during cloaked phases.

   Key Facilities and Strongholds

   • The Umbral Library Outwardly a derelict ruin, it is in truth a vast repository of knowledge— hosting secret gatherings, spy training, and the study of forbidden sorceries at the heart of the Umbral Society.

   • The Cloister of Whispers A secret monastery where recruits are brainwashed and trained. Only those who survive its trials are accepted into the Society; failures have their memories erased, becoming hollow shells.

   Combat Style Summary

   • Ambush and Encirclement: Prefer surrounding and pressuring the enemy rather than direct frontal assaults.
   • Psychological Warfare and Disruption: Employ hallucinations, false sounds, and misdirection to shatter enemy morale mid-battle.
   • Darkened Battlegrounds: Extinguish sources of light, fighting freely in darkness while immobilizing their foes.
   • Asymmetrical Warfare: Even when outnumbered, they turn the tide through stealth and surprise attacks.

   Additional Notes

   • The highest law of the Umbral Society states that the perfect assassination leaves the target unaware they ever died.
   • Before death, members undergo the Last Whisper ritual, erasing their memories and secrets to prevent any information leakage if captured.
   • Some operatives are imbued with special rites granting False Life, allowing them to continue fulfilling missions even briefly after death.

    Backstory

    • Cordelia was once a brilliant alchemist and a doting mother. Her daughter was afflicted with a rare, incurable wasting sickness born from the city’s toxic fumes. The disease caused unimaginable, constant pain for which there was no cure.

They offered her a new purpose: to turn her personal hell into the Court’s most valuable asset.
