Below Zaun's Ash
Zaun. A sprawling city built from the wreckage of a forgotten past. The air chokes with the smell of industry and rot. Below this gray veil, secrets remain. Stories whispered in the dim light of streetlamps, tales of misfits who claw for survival in a world overtaken by its own hunger.
This place lies the heart of Zaun's underbelly. A alu zaun place where justice is a mere suggestion, and each day could be your last.
Chemtech's Ruby Engine
Deep within the imposing complex of Chemtech, a pulse beats with an unsettlingly intense crimson glow. This phenomenon, known as the Crimson Heart, is a wellspring of inscrutable energy, its origins lost to the obscurity of time. Some whisper of ancient technology, while others speak of a convergence of raw, primal power. Whatever its truth, the Crimson Heart contains a magnetic allure, drawing in scientists alike, each seeking to decode its secrets.
- Legends abound regarding the Crimson Heart, each more outrageous than the last.
- Researchers risk their lives to penetrate its defenses, hoping to unlock its power.
- The fate of Chemtech, and perhaps the world, may very well revolve on the secrets held within the Crimson Heart.
Rustlings in the Hexgates
The hexgates themselves buzzed, their flickering energies a constant threat. Legends told of voices caught between the gates, fragments of screams lost to the veils that alienated worlds. Many swore these whispers held knowledge, forbidden and powerful.
A brave few, pushed by desperation, sought to hear these fragments. Their expeditions were often disastrous, their efforts swallowed by the hexgates' immensity.
Yet, the murmurs persisted, a unrelenting reminder of the secrets buried within the hexgates' heart.
Zaun's Unseen Hand
Within Zaun's grimy labyrinth, whispers drift through the throngs. They speak of a force, unseen and unrelenting, shaping the city's destiny with subtle intent. The Unseen Hand manipulates, its tendrils entangling into every facet of Zaun being. From the illicit black markets to the hallowed halls of the Chem-Barons, its' influence runs deep. Those bold enough to challenge the Hand vanish without a trace, swallowed by the city's hungry maw.
- Some say it is a clandestine organization of elite Zaunite inventors, driven by a vision for technological dominance.
- Others whisper of ancient, corrupted rituals performed in the city's darkest corners, awakening slumbering entities with nefarious goals.
- And then there are those who believe it is something altogether more cosmic, an entity from beyond the veil longing to claim Zaun as its own.
