Terra

The year is 2078. The 21st century will soon draw to a close, and for the past hundred years, the world has been at war with itself, changing and developing, in a state of metamorphosis. First, wood. Concrete. Then, steel. The air becomes thick with smog as smokestacks spit their filth and soot into the clouds. Carbon chrome and bright lights speckle the cities of the world, glowing in the darkness of a world wracked by pollution. The further they rise into the sky, the more that each and every one of those monstrous towers shadow the streets below. The weak become weaker, the sick become sicker, and the powerful continue to gain their foothold in a world that was now ruled by the corporations lofted above the 'lesser men' from the sanctuary of their ascending structures. A torn and broken world is all that is left behind now. The once-great figureheads of the century hide in the shadows, waiting for the end to finally come.

You came into this torn world at a terrible time. The older generations gazed upon you in your childhood with dread as they awoke, systematically, to the world you would grow up in. The harsh truth strikes like a viper; what was once a great, earth-bound society has crumbled into degeneration and filth. Oh, these new augmentations, these new technologies, they seemed wonderful at first. Promising. No longer, though. The people who use them are twisted and deformed by metal and synthetic. Why are the people in the streets always wearing blank looks upon their faces? Who can truly say, with the masks that these people wear, that they are man, or machine? The light of the sun seems darker than the glowing lights of the city. Eerily beautiful, you might think? Perhaps... but the darkness cast over the towering corporate strongholds tells another story entirely...

Hello and welcome to the page for the Terra: Dark Future setting! You'll find all the information about this homebrew setting all in one place here. The setting and the community is always growing, so feel free to take a look around! As you go through each of the sections, make sure you expand them to read more. There is a lot of information here and our way of condensing it is to use collapse tags.

We believe in an immersive and truly player-driven experience. The world of Terra is literally your oyster. You can cook it any way that you like. A perfectly dynamic story that begins to change and grow as soon as you step foot into it. Any of your actions have rippling effects on the events of the game, however small or large, or insignificant as they might seem. You will be thrown through a spiraling staircase that only gets deeper and darker as you descend it. You will find yourself in new heights as you look down upon a world, much like our own, but in a dark and treacherous future. This is where you will reside. This is Earth, in its darkest hour.
