A Primer to the Storm of the World.

Welcome to the Storm of the World. 

Before the Fall.

The world began and aged much like others in the cosmos. One thing that may shock you is what society considered myths and legends are in fact real. Dragons, monsters, heroes, villains, and magic all existed through the ages of man, hidden from the masses of course, but shaping the very direction of history.

Due mostly to powerful beings, immortals, and other forces, civilization had advanced to a level that solar system space travel was common. The rocky inner planets could be reached within a matter of weeks. Travel to the gas giants took several months but rumors of massive ships and unusual phenomenon kept the expeditions small.  

The Fall.

From below and above a calamity struck the planet. Mighty forests sprung up destroying towns and cities. Spaceships fell from the sky creating vast wastelands. Mighty dragons rose from the mountains feeding and setting fire creating massive ruins.  Humans retreated to the remaining cities, only a handful across the entire planet survived the calamities. The myths and legends of old were no longer hiding but running rampant and in great numbers.  The cities erected massive walls keeping out the horrors that were emerging from the wilds. Giant creatures could be seen walking among the mountains. The sky once full of planes, now deadly predators hunting their next meal.

After the Fall.

The cities became city-states. Forming their own governments and militaries to defend what was left of civilization. A world organization known as the Knight Corps was created. Massive caravans traverse the wilds connecting the various city-states, protected by the Knights. Still, any travel is rife with peril. The cities are the only beacons left in a violent world.  Their Heroes the only break in the storm.

Rai (Ray) and Di (Dee)

The Centurion Reactor is at the heart of the NovoVoronezh Citystate.  A massive Nuclear power plant spanning miles of the city center. A shining light in the middle of a frozen wasteland. The citizens of NovoVoronezh have discovered that the Centurion Reactor is not all that they believe. In fact the street dwellers spread rumors that the reactor is in fact a giant from the stars whose body is made of heavy elements and is slumbering waiting to be awoken.  The heroes and villains of this citystate due seem to develop powers related to the heavier elements such as Rai and Di. 

Did a giant from the stars grant them powers? Were there dark experiments run on them in the depths of the reactor? Rai and Di will not say. What the citizens of Novoronezh know is they better not get in their way.

The Soil of Foleigon

 

The Soil of Foleigon

A soil from ages long forgotten, to most.  Takam remembers.  The soil grew in what was called Foleigon Pass, and was the only soil that could grow the Yolec root.  The Yolec root can [ ].  She’d already obtained the seed, now she just needed the soil.  After years of searching, deal-making, and threatening, she found the last known sample in the Lyndin Group’s labs.

 

Page 1

 

Panel 1:

Exterior.  Takam is surrounded by high-rise buildings; crowds and street traffic close in on her.  Her hands are on over her ears.

Takam (thought):  I’ve been in the city too long.  I need to get out of here.  I’m so close now… Stay focused.

 

Panel 2:

Exterior.  One tree in the middle of a sidewalk.

Takam:  Talk to me.  Why can’t I hear you?  I need …

 

Tree (whisper): Level 4, B5.  Tap ..  twice

Takam:  Thank you, friend.  I know that was hard.

 

Panel 3:

Parking garage.  Level 4, B5.  Tapping twice

 

Panel 4:

Pillar slides open to reveal an elevator.  Takam gets in.

Panel 1:

Elevator opens onto a laboratory- clinical feel.  Empty lobby with hallways.

Takam: Hrm, should have made a plan.  This human impulsiveness is awesome!  Well, just pick a direction and go!

Panel 2:

Walking down a long hallway. Doors marked on both sides. 

Takam:    I thought I’d feel it, I thought it would speak to me.  Why can’t I hear…

 

Panel 3:

A door opens and a female scientist with a lab coat runs right into Takam

Scientist: Ooof

Takam:  Ouch!

 

Panel 4:

The scientist recognizes something strange about Takam- footsteps approach

Scientist:  who, what, get out of here.  You can’t be here. You don’t know what you’re doing.  They already know..

Panel 5:

Takam pulls the scientist into the room and slams the door.  The soil is on a table with a laser firing at it

Takam: I knew I felt it, as soon as you opened the door.  What is this?  What are you doing??

Scientist:  I … I

Takam:  turn it off, I’m taking this.  Hurry!

Panel 1: 

Takam reaches for the sample while the scientist pushes buttons on a panel. 

 

Panel 2:

The scientist blocks the door.

Scientist: I only shut the beam off because you’d have killed yourself- you can’t leave

Takam: Incorrect.  I’m leaving, now.

Scientist:  They’ll kill me

 

Panel 3:

Takam (sigh): Come with me, there’s no time

Scientist: I can’t, they’ll kill me

Takam:  I won’t let that happen

Scientist:  Can you fix this?

 

Panel 4:

Scientist reveals a tattoo on her forearm

Scientist: If I leave, this kills me.  If you take the sample, they kill me.

Takam: Why’d you have to be a human?
