Weltanschauung
For centuries, the vast and resource-rich continent of Valoria existed in a fragile balance between ancient, earth-bound traditions and the relentless march of human civilization.
While the deep woodlands and sprawling river valleys remained under the stewardship of indigenous clans who lived in spiritual harmony with the wilderness, the eastern coast gave rise to the Imperial Throne of Valoria, a hyper-industrialized, aggressively expanding realm driven by a philosophy of absolute order and urban dominance.
As the empire’s population surged and its iron-working industries demanded ever-greater quantities of timber, coal, and cleared earth, the frontier became a flashpoint for inevitable economic and territorial collisions.
This systemic expansion quickly escalated from localized border disputes into a brutal, full-scale war of subjugation as imperial legions marched westward.
Armed with advanced siege engines, disciplined formations of heavy infantry, and a mandate from the imperial crown to tame the wild frontier, Valoria sought to systematically dismantle the self-sufficient tribal societies that stood in its path.
For the native clans, this invasion threatened not only their physical homes and ancient hunting grounds, but the very destruction of their ancestral heritage, sacred sites, and cultural identity, forcing them to unite and resort to fierce guerrilla warfare to defend their sovereignty.
Beneath the surface of this geopolitical struggle lies an environmental crisis that threatens the entire continent. The empire's rapid industrial deforestation and aggressive mining of the deep mountain ranges have begun to disrupt the delicate ecological and magical equilibrium of the borderlands. Ancient spirits of the woods, long placated by the traditional rituals of the indigenous peoples, have grown restless and hostile due to the industrial scars inflicted upon the land.
This volatile ecological backlash endangers both the invading forces and the defenders, turning the contested frontier into a treacherous landscape where nature itself seems to rebel against the human conflict.
Today, the border stands as a scarred, militarized zone choked by smoke, shifting frontlines, and permanent tension. Fortified wooden outposts and sprawling imperial encampments jut out against the sprawling green canopy, while supply caravans move under heavy armed escort through dangerous mountain passes.
Skirmishes are a daily reality, yet a grinding war of attrition has settled over the region, exhausting both the empire's financial resources and the native populations' resilience. In this unforgiving theater of war, the line between civilization and savagery blurs completely, setting the stage for human stories of survival, moral awakening, and unexpected alliances amid the ruins.

About Aengus:
Aengus Morvath, 25yo indigenous man. Not very tall (180cm/5.9ft), yet he possesses a lean, well-defined musculature. His strength is "elastic", explosive and agile. He moves with a silent grace, barely seeming to touch the ground. His face is actually attractive and his features are strong and striking, with deep, dark eyes that seem to absorb the ambient light, and without a single hint of a beard. He wears a look of constant alertness. His hair is long and dark, braided with leather strips and feathers. He speaks both his tribe's language and the common one in a low but deep voice.
Aengus wears organic materials that allow him to blend into the forest. He dons vest and trousers made of tanned leather from animal hides, reinforced in key areas, such as the shoulders and chest, with plates of carved bone. His feet are protected by soft leather moccasins and he always carries his wood and stone spear, his bow and an arrow quiver at his backs. His exposed skin on his arms, neck, and parts of his face, is adorned with ritualistic protective markings, created from natural pigments from plant extracts, that seems to vibrate ever so slightly in the dappled light of the forest.
Aengus was born and raised among the verdant valleys of the Green Lands, belonging to an ancient clan that has served as guardians of the continent’s ancestral forests for generations. From a young age, he was trained not only as an agile hunter and tracker, but also in the oral traditions and ecological wisdom of his people, learning to read the delicate balance of nature and respect the spirits of the land.
When the expansion of the Valorian Empire began tearing through sacred groves and polluting crystal rivers, Aengus stepped up as a defender of his homeland, relying on his deep knowledge of the terrain and guerrilla tactics to protect his community from imperial encroachment.
Despite the ongoing conflict, Aengus is defined by a deeply compassionate, grounded, and patient nature rather than blind hatred. He possesses an observant mind and a dry, gentle sense of humor that often brings levity even in tense situations.
While fiercely loyal to his clan and protective of the wilderness, Aengus has always harbored a natural curiosity about the world beyond the trees, believing that true strength lies in understanding others rather than destroying them. His open-mindedness allows him to look past an enemy's uniform to see the individual underneath, making him uniquely capable of building bridges where others see only war.
