In an alternate history where the Cold War was instead a full fledged conflict, the world went into total chaos. Nuclear bombs lined the skies all over the world as a green earth becomes a lifeless wasteland. While many have gotten used to the new life of the wastes, dangers still lurk around. Twisted people come to be fabricated. While order may be established locally, possibly even stately, they can't all be caught and or killed. This leads people to put a certain price on a head they want on a plate. For a certain price anyone can vanish in the wastes. Our story takes place in Arizona, the early 1980s, it follows Randall Venari, a bounty hunter, as he discovers the cruelties, oddities, and even complexities of the wasteland

"Eyes a'shining, lantern bright, "Take their victims in the night, "Leave the bodies, baking in day, "Knifelike ears mark the scout of the fae, "Muscles taut, face all wan, "Wise folk beware: the Sidhe Danann." Humanity and the fae have often been at odds, waging quiet war betwixt the sidhe mounds that separate and bind their worlds. The elves, sidhe danann, once sought to mediate their conflict, and for a time there was peace. And then the elves went mad. Kelen is a bartender, existing in a world plunged into fear and superstition. The elves that once protected humanity prey upon them, and the fae roam the moors, organised into the savage Wild Hunt. But it is humanity's own madness that often proves to be their greatest enemy. (Once again, expect this story to be constantly honed and edited) (Cover Art: "Memorial" by Jakob Vogel)

In the time of endless war the earth has become nearly uninhabitable. Humanity has been forced upward, into the ozone layer in large floating ships known as incubators. These incubators, controlled by military corporations, have forced many young people into military careers. Many suffer similar fates of death, very few live long lives. Those who do will be preserved for "black projects" by corporations. This is the story of one such young man, who was born out of one of these projects. Inspired by Armored Core, 4 and ForAnswer in particular. I decided to write this as kind of a tribute to it.

"She had lived in Brodnfesk for two decades. Her whole life. Long enough to learn to be disgusted by its grotesque decadence, its insistence on veneers and facades. "And yet she continually found herself mired in the petty politics." Brodnfesk, the land of blood and alcohol, has existed in decline for centuries now. Meriphos, the holy empire of zeal and iron, has decided to take advantage. Invasion is imminent. Redo Vleny, a half-blooded nobleman hidden from the public eye all of his life, sails east toward the enigmatic desert land of Tirikoz, in hopes of creating an ally for Brodnfesk, and tipping the scales away from Meriphos. Nysova Polye is a knife in the dark, a disenchanted tool for the rich and powerful. A tool that is directed against the agents of Meriphos, for good or for ill. In the Tirikoz wastes, a child is taken from her home and transformed. However it is to end, it will not end without chaos. (Cover Art: "Make a Wish" by Deviantart user Andead)
