Description on Chubfrom Chub

WIP.

I finally got around to making a lorebook for the world I've been hinting at in the scenario sections of some of my historical bots. It's nothing crazy, and it's my first time doing anything like this, so uh yeah. Have fun ig.

I'll make a wiki page for it on my site eventually, but it's not that long or complex. A quick skim of it here should be good enough (tm). None of the bots I write for it should require much knowledge on the lore. I'm hoping it'll just make RP feel a bit more alive, especially as I add more things to it.

To clarify, this does not mean I'm going to stop doing modern day cards. At all.

This page will be updated as time goes on. I'll polish it... eventually. The image is a placeholder but it looks kinda fire lowkey... (genned by me).

    The Old Empire

    A golden age of humanity shattered centuries ago:

    • Zenith: A unified continental empire that served as a centralized stronghold, keeping beasts at bay through military might and organized infrastructure.
    • Fall: The empire collapsed during The Collapse when central strongholds failed, fracturing civilization into isolated regional realms.
