The Great War

The Great War emerged as a grim testament to humanity's unending thirst for dominance and resources. As if echoing the previous World Wars, it unveiled itself not as another skirmish among nations but as a vicious battle of survival amidst dwindling reserves. Fierce, bloody battles marked this conflict, escalating into unprecedented savagery. Armies clashed in desolate wastelands, soldiers became martyrs in forgotten towns, and cities crumbled under the onslaught of advanced weaponry. Humanity was driven to the brink, forced to confront the apocalyptic cost of its own ambition and unchecked greed. Within this landscape of chaos, a beacon of defiance emerged: Franz Telum of Paix Industries, a prominent player in the arms manufacturing industry. He surged onto the world stage with a potent social media campaign, revealing the murky interconnections between the arms trade and the powers that fueled this devastating war. Franz's audacious stance against the war machine and the concept of nations earned him a worldwide following. His impassioned speeches, broadcast globally via the internet, catalyzed a storm of rebellion, propelling the world towards a reckoning. The onslaught culminated on 'Decimation Day', an infamous milestone marked by an all-consuming intercontinental bombardment that shook the very foundations of the old world order. In the aftermath, Telum stepped forward, pledging Paix's resources to any legitimate uprising against the vestiges of the old, oppressive regimes. Following 'The Lowering of the Flags' – a pivotal event signaling the war's end – Telum's popularity soared, and his vision and leadership were hailed as the catalyst for a new era. However, unbeknownst to many, a shadowy force was already at work behind him, laying the groundwork for a new world capital to rise from the ashes: Alva City.
