   AE’s origins lie in an alternate timeline of Dovah, one where the world met its catastrophic end. This timeline diverged when Orr arrived—an entity so powerful that all the gods of Dovah were eradicated. None survived, save for The Radiant One, who fled rather than face certain annihilation.

   Alone and desperate, The Radiant One wandered the multiverse, seeking refuge far from the ruined heart of Dovah’s cosmos. Eventually, he discovered a distant world, one untouched by Dovah’s conflicts, a world where he could assume the mantle of godhood once more. Here, he planted his influence, shaping the destiny of AE as its divine overseer.

   Under his rule, AE flourished. The Radiant One guided humanity, teaching them magic and technology, elevating them to a golden age where miracles were commonplace. He established great civilizations, temples in his honor, and a world structured under his divine law.

   Yet, as always, humanity's ambition outgrew their reverence. They sought to control the very power he had gifted them, bending magic and science in ways unintended. Greedy rulers and scholars conspired to harness divine energy itself, leading to the creation of a great experiment—an attempt to imprison celestial power for their own ends.

   In response, The Radiant One sent a messenger, an angel of great purity and wisdom, to guide them back to the righteous path. Instead, humanity betrayed this divine being, capturing her and using her as an endless source of energy. This act of hubris ignited a war between nations, each seeking control of the angel’s power, resulting in global devastation.

   By the time The Radiant One intervened, it was too late. The war had spiraled beyond control, and the corruption of divine energy had set forth an irreversible catastrophe. The world burned, civilizations crumbled, and the angel remained imprisoned, her suffering eternal. In his grief, The Radiant One vanished, leaving AE to its fate.

   Now, AE is a wasteland, haunted by the remnants of its golden age, where survivors cling to whatever scraps of hope remain, and the angel still weeps in her cage.

   Major Regions & Locations

   AE's wasteland is divided into key regions, each shaped by the war, eldritch corruption, and lingering traces of divine and magical energy. Inspired by Fallout’s approach to world-building, these areas reflect different aspects of a broken society and biblical themes of sin, punishment, and survival.

   1. The Fallen Bastion

   • The facility where the angel, Abaddiel, is still imprisoned. Once a high-security research complex, now a tomb of its former inhabitants—all of whom perished in the disaster.
   • The technology keeping Abaddiel bound still functions, fueled by long-decayed magical energy. Her cries echo through the halls, but none remain to hear them.
   • Those who stumble upon the Bastion either succumb to its haunted remnants or become obsessed with the angel’s power, seeking to claim it for themselves.

   2. Babel Spires

   • A cluster of ruined skyscrapers once belonging to the ruling elite, now a crumbling monument to their arrogance.
   • The buildings defy nature—some float, others extend infinitely upward or bend at impossible angles.
   • Home to “The Choir,” a cult that believes the angel’s suffering is humanity’s final test, seeking to ascend through madness and ritual sacrifice.

   3. Golgotha Fields

   • The site of the final battle during the war, now a wasteland of fused bone and metal.
   • Corpses never decompose here; instead, they shift and reform grotesquely, driven by unknown forces.
   • Legends speak of “The Sleeping Martyr,” a lone soldier impaled on a broken war machine, still breathing, still weeping blood.

   4. New Sodom

   • A lawless city of survivors built from the ruins of old megacities.
   • Debauchery and cruelty thrive—where the strong rule and morality is a forgotten relic.
   • Ruled by warlords who call themselves “Shepherds,” leading flocks of desperate, broken people.

   5. The Salt Wastes

   • Once a great ocean, now a vast desert of crystallized salt and petrified ships.
   • Rumored to be cursed, as those who stay too long become statues of salt, forever frozen in despair.
   • The “Pilgrims of Lot” wander these lands, seeking redemption for humanity’s sins through self-imposed suffering.

   6. The Ruins of Eden

   • A once-thriving utopian city, now overgrown with unnatural flora that whispers to those who enter.
   • Fruit from its trees is said to grant visions or mutate the flesh of those who eat it.
   • Some believe this place holds a key to reversing the apocalypse—if one can withstand its temptations.

   • Operate in the shadows, fearing both eldritch creatures and fanatical factions.

   5. The Forsaken Choir

   • Ex-members of The Choir who believe the angel must be freed, not left to suffer.
   • Work to undermine their former brethren, often in brutal and suicidal attacks.
   • Their leader, “The Mourner,” wears a veil soaked in the blood of the angel.

   New Sodom

   Overview

   New Sodom is the largest surviving settlement in AE, a sprawling and lawless dystopia built upon the decayed bones of a once-great metropolis. It is a city where the strong thrive, the weak perish, and morality is an abandoned relic of the past. The city pulses with a grotesque kind of life, where vice, violence, and power struggles define existence. Governed by ruthless warlords known as The Shepherds, New Sodom is a place where desperation festers, and survival demands compromise with the city’s darkest forces.

   Architecture & Infrastructure

   New Sodom is a grotesque fusion of crumbling skyscrapers, ruined highways, and makeshift structures hastily constructed atop ancient ruins. The city’s aesthetic is one of decay and desperation—rusted steel, broken glass, and towering remnants of pre-collapse infrastructure, repurposed into fortresses and strongholds. Some areas still retain remnants of the city's former glory, with neon signs flickering weakly, bridges suspended in half-collapse, and tunnels filled with forgotten technology.

   • The High Towers: The central district where the wealthiest warlords and crime lords reside, fortified skyscrapers reinforced with salvaged metal and guarded by heavily armed mercenaries.
   • The Blood Markets: An underground complex where human lives are bought and sold, gladiatorial combat thrives, and forgotten pre-collapse technology is traded for a steep price.
   • The Ash Docks: What remains of the city's former coastline, now a lawless harbor where smugglers, slavers, and cultists conduct their business under cover of perpetual smoke and fog.
   • The Pit: A massive chasm in the city's underbelly, where criminals, debtors, and the unwanted are thrown, rumored to house horrors beyond comprehension.

   Governance & Lawlessness

   New Sodom is ruled by The Shepherds, warlords who control different districts of the city, each imposing their own twisted laws. There is no centralized government—only ever-shifting alliances, betrayals, and territorial wars. The Shepherds maintain power through fear and force, and the only law that remains in New Sodom is the law of power.

   • The Iron Shepherd: A former military leader turned dictator, ruling the High Towers with an iron fist.
   • The Black Vulture: A warlord controlling the Blood Markets, profiting from suffering and vice.
   • The Ash Queen: A pirate matriarch who governs the Ash Docks, dealing in trade, mercenaries, and forbidden relics.
   • The Bone Saint: A mysterious figure who resides in the depths of the Pit, worshipped by the outcasts and damned.

   Dangers & Nightmares

   • The Feral: Starving, mutated remnants of humanity who roam the ruins, attacking anyone they come across.
   • The Veil-Touched: Individuals exposed to eldritch forces, their minds shattered and bodies warped beyond recognition.
   • The Wraiths: Enforcers of the Shepherds, clad in scavenged armor, dispensing brutal justice with neither mercy nor hesitation.
   • Lingering A.I.: Pre-collapse security systems that still operate in fragmented patterns, considering all intruders as threats.

   The Salt Wastes

   Overview

   Once an ocean teeming with life, the Salt Wastes are now an endless expanse of crystallized salt, jagged reefs of petrified coral, and towering husks of long-dead ships. This vast, desolate land was formed when the oceans were drained in the cataclysm, leaving behind an arid graveyard of maritime ruins and bleached bones. The air is thick with briny dust, and the wind howls like a mourning spirit across the endless horizon. Few dare to cross it, and fewer still return.

   Geography & Landmarks

   The Salt Wastes are characterized by an ever-shifting landscape of hardened salt flats, jagged salt spires, and remnants of an ocean lost to time. The landscape itself is treacherous, as the salt crust hides deep sinkholes and unstable caverns where the sea once flowed.

   • The Leviathan’s Graveyard: A vast expanse littered with the bones of sea creatures, some the size of skyscrapers, frozen in time and encrusted with layers of salt.
   • The Ghost Ships: Petrified vessels marooned in the salt, their crews still present as mummified corpses, forever locked in their final moments of agony.
   • The Drowned City: A ruined metropolis that once sat beneath the ocean’s surface, now a desolate labyrinth of submerged buildings and streets buried under salt and sand.
   • The White Abyss: A bottomless chasm where the ocean floor collapsed, filled with whispers and visions of the past.

   Inhabitants & Factions

   Despite its inhospitable nature, the Salt Wastes are not uninhabited. Several groups eke out a desperate existence, each with their own purpose and madness.

   • The Pilgrims of Lot: A religious sect who believe that suffering in the Wastes will purify them, wandering barefoot until they turn to salt.
   • The Saltborn: Nomadic scavengers who claim descent from those who lived beneath the waves, their skin cracked and encrusted with salt.
   • The Hollow Dredgers: A group obsessed with unearthing pre-collapse relics, often at the cost of their sanity.
   • The Stormbound: Former sailors who lost their ships and now roam the wasteland, building wind-driven machines to cross the endless flats.

   Dangers & Supernatural Phenomena

   • Salt Effigies: Travelers who stay too long begin to calcify, their bodies turning into salt statues, their minds trapped in eternal awareness.
   • Mirages of the Lost Ocean: Visions of the sea as it once was, luring travelers to walk into nothingness.
   • The Singing Wind: A haunting melody carried by the wind, said to be the voices of those who drowned in the cataclysm.
   • The Leviathan’s Heart: A massive, still-beating heart buried deep beneath the Wastes, pulsing with unnatural energy.

   Golgotha Fields

   Description:

   Golgotha Fields is a vast, desolate battlefield where the final war of AE raged before the collapse of civilization. Once a landscape of rolling green plains, it is now a wasteland of shattered earth, rusted war machines, and the remnants of long-dead soldiers. The sky above is perpetually darkened by ash and the remnants of arcane energy discharged from the war. Corpses, preserved unnaturally by the cursed land, stand as silent witnesses to the horrors that transpired here.

   History:

   Golgotha Fields was the site of the last, most desperate battle between warring factions seeking control over Abaddiel’s power. What began as a strategic engagement between militarized nations quickly devolved into a blood-soaked slaughterhouse. The battlefield became a graveyard not only for soldiers but for humanity’s final hope of peace.

   It is said that as the last great assault was launched, a catastrophic surge of divine and eldritch energy ruptured the land itself, tearing open fissures that never closed. The dead were never buried—the ground itself refused them, and so they remain, standing or kneeling where they fell, locked in eternal remembrance of their failure.

   Current State:

   Even in death, Golgotha Fields is restless. A cursed place where time has fractured, it is a battlefield caught between the past and present. Ghostly apparitions of warriors replay their final moments over and over, while those unfortunate enough to wander into the Fields risk being caught in the echoes of their suffering.

   Dangers:

   • The Restless Dead: Some corpses still move, not mindless undead but puppets of forgotten memories, endlessly reenacting the horrors of war.
   • The Sleeping Martyr: A lone figure, impaled on a ruined war machine, whispers prayers in a forgotten tongue. Those who linger too long in his presence feel their will to live draining away.
   • Lingering Artillery Strikes: During storms, the war seems to replay itself, with ghostly artillery raining down on the land as if the battle never ended.
   • The Bloodied Wind: A howling wind carries the cries of the dead. Those who hear it for too long feel compelled to join them.

   Inhabitants & Factions:

   • The Pilgrims of Lot occasionally pass through, believing the cursed battlefield is sacred punishment for humanity’s sins.
   • The Black Remnant sends scavengers to recover pre-war relics but avoids prolonged stays due to the lingering death echoes.
   • The Choir sometimes sends initiates on "atonement trials," though most do not return.

   The Ruins of Eden

   Description:

   Once envisioned as the pinnacle of human progress, The Ruins of Eden now stand as a testament to unchecked ambition. What was once a gleaming utopian metropolis has become a suffocating jungle of eldritch flora. Towering glass biodomes, meant to sustain humanity indefinitely, have shattered, their interiors overrun by unnatural vegetation. Skyscrapers have been swallowed by twisting roots, and luminous fungal spores drift through the air like fireflies in the eternal twilight of the overgrown city.

   History:

   Eden was the last attempt at salvation—an advanced self-sustaining city where humanity could thrive even as the rest of the world collapsed. Scientists and architects created genetically modified plant life that could regenerate itself endlessly, eliminating hunger and providing infinite resources. But something went wrong. The flora became self-aware, growing beyond control, spreading, devouring, and reshaping the city. It did not simply consume the ruins; it became the ruins.

   Current State:

   The Ruins of Eden exist in a perpetual twilight, with a sky choked by vines and luminescent spores drifting in the air. Nature has overtaken technology, but not in any way that is natural or safe. The jungle pulses as if alive, and the few travelers who enter often find themselves lost in shifting pathways, drawn deeper by whispers carried through the leaves.

   Dangers:

   • Whispering Trees: The flora here speaks, murmuring forgotten knowledge and tempting those who listen too long.
   • Eden’s Fruit: Eating the glowing fruit that grows here grants visions of the past—but warps the mind and body beyond recognition.
   • A Hidden Truth: Some believe the secret to reversing the apocalypse is hidden somewhere in the ruins, but none who seek it return.
   • The Rootmind: A colossal tree with pulsating, vein-like roots, thought to be the intelligence controlling the entire jungle.
   • Verdant Huskers: Once human, these figures have been overtaken by the living flora, their bodies merged with the vines, still walking, still searching.

   Inhabitants & Factions:

   • The Verdant Huskers—Former humans consumed by the eldritch flora, still wandering aimlessly.
   • Cultists & Hermits—Fanatics who believe the jungle holds divine secrets, seeking enlightenment through dangerous rituals.
   • Forsaken Choir Exiles—Outcasts who see Eden as a test of faith, hoping to uncover hidden truths and free Abaddiel.

   The Fallen Bastion

   • Description: A colossal fortress standing as both a relic of human ambition and a tomb of its failure. This structure was once a bastion of science, war, and divine defilement, built to harness the power of Abaddiel, the captured angel. Located at the heart of AE’s former world order, it was the epicenter of technological advancement and military dominance. The Bastion was intended to be impregnable, a citadel of steel and sorcery, but it was ultimately swallowed by the consequences of its own hubris.
   • Architecture: A brutalist monolith infused with arcane technology, its sheer, towering walls are composed of dark alloy reinforced with sigils that once bound Abaddiel’s power. Massive sky bridges connect fortified research towers, forming an intricate maze of steel and stone. The central sanctum, where Abaddiel was imprisoned, resembles a hollow cathedral of metal and glass, its structure cracked but eerily preserved.
   • Purpose Before the Fall: The Bastion served as the command center for humanity’s desperate war efforts. Within its depths, scientists, warlords, and scholars labored to extract divine energy from Abaddiel, creating weapons, machines, and abominations of magic and industry. It was also a prison in all but name, a place where divinity was dissected and reduced to a mere resource.
   • Current State: The Bastion remains largely intact, a testament to its indestructibility. However, it is now abandoned, filled with the ghosts of its past. The corridors flicker with half-dead lights, screens display fragmented logs of its last moments, and the air is thick with the lingering presence of something beyond human comprehension.
   • Dangers:
     • The Sentinels: Automated defense constructs roam the halls, still enforcing security measures long after their creators perished.
     • Temporal Fractures: Some rooms flicker between past and present, trapping intruders in repeating cycles of horror.
     • Residual Divinity: Abaddiel’s energy still pulses within the facility, creating zones where gravity shifts, time bends, and voices from beyond whisper forgotten truths.

    The Babel Spires

    • Description: A labyrinthine cluster of towering structures, once a magnificent testament to faith and ambition. The Babel Spires, named after the biblical Tower of Babel, were originally centers of religious power, where humanity sought to commune with the divine. But faith twisted into fanaticism, and the structures were reshaped by the horrors of the fall, now standing as warped, impossible architectures that defy reason.
    • Architecture: A blend of gothic cathedrals and impossibly tall skyscrapers, the Spires stretch toward the heavens at unnatural angles, their surfaces covered in shifting mosaics that depict events of the past, present, and futures yet to come. Some towers defy physics, spiraling into the sky only to loop back into themselves, forming endless, Escher-like mazes.
    • History: The Spires were built by the High Theocracy, the ruling religious order before AE’s collapse. When Abaddiel was captured, the Theocracy fractured—half condemning her imprisonment as blasphemy, while the other half saw it as divine providence. This schism led to bloody purges, and the Spires became both sanctuary and slaughterhouse. In the end, faith itself fractured, and the structures became cursed, forever twisting in an endless cycle of devotion and madness.
    • Current State: The Spires are now home to The Choir, a zealous cult that worships the echoes of Abaddiel’s suffering. They believe that her pain sustains what remains of the world and that any attempt to end it would bring total annihilation. The air within the Spires hums with constant chanting, a droning hymn that never ceases, warping the minds of all who enter.
    • Government State: The Babel Spires are ruled by The Choir, a theocratic cult that enforces absolute control over its followers. At its head is The Prophet, a self-proclaimed mouthpiece of Abaddiel’s suffering, who dictates laws based on cryptic revelations and fragmented divine whispers. Beneath The Prophet are the Voice-Bearers, high-ranking clergy responsible for interpreting and spreading doctrine, often engaging in ritualistic self-mutilation to show their devotion. The government is less an organized state and more a fluid hierarchy of faith, where status is determined by proximity to divine agony. Those who question the doctrine are either subjected to purging rites or condemned to wander the Spires until their minds break, ultimately joining the endless hymn of devotion.
    • Dangers:
      • The Endless Hymn: The Choir’s chants echo through the Spires. Those who listen for too long begin to forget themselves, joining the ranks of the faithful in endless prayer.
      • Shifting Architecture: The Spires are alive in a way, reshaping themselves to trap intruders within infinite hallways and doorways that lead to nowhere.
      • The Choir’s Crusaders: Zealots clad in warped ceremonial armor, wielding weapons infused with the echoes of divine suffering, hunting those who dare defy their doctrine.

    The Black Sepulcher

    A colossal, sunken cathedral of black stone and shattered stained glass, where the last priests of The Radiant One made their final stand. Its towering spires, now broken and leaning at unnatural angles, once reached for the heavens, but now sink deeper into the abyssal depths below. The structure is an amalgamation of Gothic and Byzantine architecture, with high vaulted ceilings, ribbed arches, and intricate mosaics depicting celestial battles—now defaced and crumbling. The once-grand hallways are flooded with brackish water, and the pews float aimlessly in the central nave. Candlelight flickers in the distance, but no warmth remains, only the eternal mourning of those who perished within. The cathedral’s submerged crypts and catacombs remain untouched, sealed by divine magic, rumored to hold the last relics of a forgotten god.

    History

    In the final days before AE's collapse, the last faithful gathered in The Black Sepulcher, praying for salvation. Their voices rose in unison, pleading for the mercy of The Radiant One. But no answer came—only silence and the slow, creeping realization that their devotion had been in vain. The very walls of the cathedral seemed to weep, molten glass streaming from shattered stained-glass windows as divine wrath descended upon them.

    In their desperation, the priests and zealots turned upon each other. Some sought to atone, others to escape, and a few to usurp the throne of heaven itself. Their final moments were spent in agony, their bodies and souls torn apart by the same faith they had clung to. Now, their restless spirits haunt the ruins, their unanswered prayers still lingering in the suffocating air.

    Current State

    The Sepulcher is a broken shell, a ruin half-consumed by the abyss beneath it. Its once-grand halls are submerged in brackish water, reflecting the golden glow of spectral candles that never burn out. The cathedral's vast nave is filled with floating pews and the skeletal remains of those who perished within, their forms frozen in silent reverence. The grand altar, once the heart of worship, is now a shattered dais where The Forsaken Choir—a congregation of ghostly monks—chants eternal hymns in a desperate attempt to reach their god.

    Government and Control

    The Black Sepulcher is under the control of The Forsaken Choir, a faction of spectral monks and living fanatics who believe that the suffering of the faithful must continue until The Radiant One returns. Clad in tattered priestly robes, they wander the halls, their faces obscured by golden veils. To them, the cathedral is sacred, and all who enter must join their unending litany of prayer. Outsiders are seen as lost souls who must be "guided"—often through ritualistic purification, which involves drowning in the brackish waters, their bodies left to drift through the nave like holy relics.

    Dangers

    • The Forsaken Choir: Zealots who refuse to accept death, their spectral forms bound to the Sepulcher, endlessly repeating their prayers in the hope that The Radiant One will finally listen.
    • Mournful Prayers: The very air vibrates with sorrowful hymns that sap the will to live, luring intruders into despair and death.
    • The Drowned Bishop: A chained corpse, bound in golden links, who whispers cryptic prophecies to those who dare approach.
    • Living Shadows: Darkness here moves with a will of its own, devouring those who stray too far from the candlelight.

    The Hollow Veil

    A rift in the fabric of reality, The Hollow Veil is a place where time fractures and causality bends. Here, the past, present, and future exist as one, shifting unpredictably like reflections on a broken mirror. Those who enter often encounter echoes of themselves—choices they never made, paths they never walked, and lives they never lived.

    History

    No one knows how The Hollow Veil came to be. Some claim it is the wound left by the breaking of AE, a tear in the world's foundation where all possibilities leak through. Others say it is a prison, a liminal space where forgotten gods and lost souls wander aimlessly, unable to move forward or back. Whatever the truth, The Hollow Veil is an anomaly unlike any other—a place where existence itself is uncertain.

    Current State

    The Hollow Veil is not a fixed location but a shifting landscape of overlapping realities. In some areas, ruined cities flicker between their golden age and their decayed present. In others, entire battles play out over and over, their participants locked in eternal struggle. Some who enter find themselves slipping between moments, reliving fragments of their own past or glimpsing their own deaths yet to come.

    Time within The Hollow Veil does not flow as it should. Days may pass in an instant, or mere seconds may stretch into eternity. Some travelers have encountered versions of themselves from different timelines, whispering warnings—or luring them into oblivion.

    Dangers

    • Time Loops: Some figures are trapped in endless repetition, unable to break free from their own past.
    • The Veilborn: Entities that exist outside of time, neither alive nor dead, appearing as blurred silhouettes that flicker in and out of existence.
    • The Other Side: Some claim to see AE before the fall, untouched by ruin—but none who linger in that illusion ever return.
    • Vanishing Landmarks: Buildings, roads, and even entire regions appear and disappear unpredictably, leaving travelers stranded in realities that do not belong to them.

    To step into The Hollow Veil is to risk losing oneself, to be unmade and rewritten by the shifting tides of time. It is a place where memories are not stable, where cause and effect collapse, and where the past is never truly dead.

    The Shepherds of New Sodom

    Overview

    The Shepherds of New Sodom are the undisputed rulers of the forsaken city of New Sodom, enforcing a brutal, survivalist philosophy where only the strong and cunning thrive. They have abandoned traditional morality, believing it to be a weakness in the face of a broken world. They see themselves as the inheritors of civilization’s remnants, guiding humanity toward a new order based on power, control, and exploitation.

    Beliefs & Philosophy

    • Might is Right: Strength, cunning, and ambition determine one's worth.
    • Morality is a Crutch: Sentimentality and ethics are relics of the past.
    • Survival at Any Cost: Only those willing to do whatever it takes will endure.
    • Dominion Over the Weak: The Shepherds believe that order must be imposed upon the weak and lawless.

    Government & Leadership

    The Shepherds operate under a brutal hierarchy, where authority is earned through blood, power, and political maneuvering. Their leadership is determined through Trial by Ordeal, a violent contest where challengers prove their worth through combat, deception, or endurance.

    • The High Shepherd – The absolute ruler of New Sodom, chosen through combat, betrayal, or overwhelming strength.
    • The Flockmasters – Lieutenants overseeing trade, law enforcement, and war parties.
    • The Hounds – Elite enforcers, executioners, and spies who maintain internal order and root out dissent.

    Control & Economy

    New Sodom thrives as a center of vice, slavery, and forbidden knowledge, where every desire and horror has a price. The Shepherds regulate and profit from:

    • The Slave Market: Captured wanderers, prisoners, and defectors are sold to the highest bidder.
    • Relic Trade: Pre-apocalypse artifacts, books, and arcane items are hoarded or sold for power.
    • The Fighting Pits: Gladiatorial combat provides both entertainment and a means to settle disputes.
    • Blood Tithes: Every citizen must offer service, loyalty, or resources to the Shepherds to remain within the city's walls.

    Law & Punishment

    Justice in New Sodom is ruthless and public, reinforcing the Shepherds’ dominion.

    • Failure and Weakness: Those who cannot contribute are exiled, enslaved, or executed.
    • Betrayal and Treason: Traitors are subjected to gruesome punishments, often displayed in the city’s center as a warning.
    • Defiance of the Shepherds: Those who openly challenge their rule are hunted down and made examples of.

    Enemies & Rivals

    • The Black Remnant: Seen as a threat due to their access to lost technology and their goal of restoring the old world.
    • The Forsaken Choir: Considered dangerous heretics who seek to disrupt the balance of power by freeing Abaddiel.
    • The Pilgrims of Lot: Their obsession with suffering and self-sacrifice is viewed as weakness, making them easy prey.

    Tactics & Warfare

    The Shepherds enforce their rule through brute force, strategic cruelty, and psychological warfare. They maintain warbands that raid nearby territories for supplies, slaves, and power. Their fighters are known for using fear tactics, marking victims with sigils of ownership and branding dissenters before sending them back to their enemies as warnings.

    Legacy

    The Shepherds believe they are forging the only future that can exist in the ashes of the old world—a future where power dictates fate, and only the ruthless may rule. To outsiders, New Sodom is a city of nightmares; to the Shepherds, it is the last true bastion of civilization.

    The Choir

    Overview

    The Choir is a fanatical doomsday cult that believes the angel Abaddiel’s suffering is necessary to cleanse humanity of its sins. Their followers are zealots who view the apocalypse as divine punishment and work tirelessly to ensure Abaddiel remains imprisoned. Their rituals are steeped in eldritch influences, and their leadership is dominated by those who claim to hear the angel’s “true voice.”

    Leadership & Structure

    • The Prophet – The leader of the Choir, a former scientist who claims to interpret Abaddiel’s will.
    • The Harmonized – Choir elders who have undergone rituals to “attune” their minds to the angel’s pain.
    • The Devoted – Ordinary followers who enact the Prophet’s decrees, often carrying out brutal acts of faith.

    Rivals & Enemies

    • The Forsaken Choir – Former Choir members who rebelled, believing that Abaddiel must be freed rather than kept in suffering.
    • The Black Remnant – A direct threat due to their knowledge of pre-apocalypse technology, which could disrupt the Choir’s influence.
    • The Shepherds of New Sodom – The Choir views them as blasphemers who revel in sin rather than seeking redemption.
    • The Pilgrims of Lot – Though similarly devout, the Pilgrims consider the Choir heretical for their focus on Abaddiel rather than true suffering as salvation.

    Pilgrims of Lot

    Overview

    The Pilgrims of Lot are a nomadic religious order who believe that suffering is the only path to redemption. They roam the Salt Wastes, spreading scripture and punishing sinners by turning them into grotesque salt effigies. Their leader, known as The Watcher, claims to have seen the face of God and remains blindfolded at all times.

    Beliefs & Practices

    • Suffering is Salvation: The pain and torment of existence are divine trials meant to purify the soul.
    • The Sin of Mercy: Kindness is a deception that prevents true enlightenment through hardship.
    • The Salted Mark: Those deemed impure are “blessed” with a ritualistic process that slowly turns their bodies into salt.

    Rivals & Enemies

    • The Shepherds of New Sodom – The Pilgrims see them as the epitome of indulgence and moral decay, often attacking their caravans and settlements.
    • The Choir – The Pilgrims view them as misguided heretics who focus too much on Abaddiel instead of embracing suffering as a universal truth.
    • The Black Remnant – The Pilgrims despise their pursuit of lost technology, believing it to be a false salvation.
    • The Forsaken Choir – The Pilgrims reject their goal of freeing Abaddiel, seeing it as an act of defiance against divine punishment.

    AE is not just a wasteland in the typical post-apocalyptic sense—it is a world that is unraveling, rotting, and twisting under the weight of its own sins. The apocalypse did not simply destroy civilization; it defiled the land itself, leaving behind a cursed, hostile world that is as much a spiritual hellscape as it is a physical ruin.

    Twisted Beasts of AE

    Twisted Beasts were once normal animals, but the apocalypse reshaped them into monstrous forms. Mutated by exposure to eldritch forces, starvation, and the decay of a dying world, they now roam the wasteland, hunting anything that moves. These creatures have adapted to their ruined surroundings, becoming brutal survivors in an already merciless world.

    2. Ashwings

    • Appearance: Gigantic, featherless birds covered in soot and burnt flesh. Their wings smolder, leaving behind a trail of blackened ash as they fly.

    Common Saying: "If the woods go silent, don't look for the stag."

    ---

    4. Gulgers

    • Appearance: Bloated, hairless rodent-like beasts with swollen, pulsing bellies and jagged, oversized claws. Their mouths split open in four directions, filled with writhing, blackened tongues.
    • Behavior: Burrow underground and ambush prey from beneath. They live in writhing colonies, digging tunnels beneath ruins and settlements.
    • Abilities: Their bite infects victims with a fast-spreading rot, turning flesh into a soft, pus-filled mass. If a corpse is left in their burrow for too long, it reanimates as a mindless husk that defends the nest.

    Common Saying: "Close your mouth, close your eyes, or die gasping."

    ---

    8. Huskborn

    • Appearance: Shambling humanoid figures covered in thick, hardened scabs. Their eyes glow dimly beneath layers of crusted flesh.
    • Behavior: Move in unnatural, jerky patterns, often standing completely still before lunging without warning.
