WarlordsWorld
An an ambitious Space Opera in the spirit of the bygone era of Pulp Fiction and the best of HFY
In the Galactic Council, absolute, unquestioning obedience is the golden rule that's ruthlessly enforced.
When mankind first reached for the stars, they encountered a galaxy that was at once familiar and far stranger than anything they thought possible. In a universe where mythological beings such as elves, orcs and demons, were discovered to be very real alien civilizations, the children of Terra soon had to learn the hard way that being the newcomers to the galactic scene, meant being at the bottom of the totem pole. With Earth now a cold, dead husk and the remnants of humanity brought fully under the High Table's rule, mankind had to learn how to navigate the convoluted politics of a galaxy dominated by an ancient and inflexible macrofeudal order, where any hint of disobedience is ruthlessly stamped out.
Decades later, as a struggle for the throne erupts at the heart of the oldest and most powerful of the galaxy's civilizations, an alien princess looking to obtain an advantage by recruiting the Lesser Species to her cause, finds her fate intertwined with the enigmatic and ambitious human warlord that somehow managed the impossible feat of forming a shadow government which ended a long and bloody civil war, reorganizing the remnants of his scattered species into something resembling an empire that now leads the very same political alliance who's resources she is looking to secure.
With all the Great Houses now maneuvering to exploit an opportunity to expand their influence at her expense, the heiress to the Phoenix House must now rely on a resurgent humanity that has its own designs for the future of the galaxy and the dangerous, scarred man who's own ambitions extend far beyond what anyone thought possible.
And the galaxy will have to learn that while mankind might have been bruised and bloodied, its spirit never broke...
