All was being laid to waste, the great dark swept in and consumed us all. Nothing was left, I screamed and I ran. I wake up. I look around and I see all this...life? Are we here? My father looks at me, ragged but wearily he smiles and mutters the words "Welcome home son". Forgotten words

  These were the words of our ancestors 3,000 years ago. These words have fractured and divided us here on ALTerra. Our people have lost everything over the passage of time, and developed many new technologies and ideas that has divided us into three distinct ideologies.   Tranquility the desire to cultivate the land and live in harmony with the xenos that invest this world.   Mastery the art of comprehension and exploitation of the xenos to develop and broaden our potential.   Domination the art of restoration, to restore our old ways by purging the xeno to grow and expand unhinged by any limitation.   Three divided people divided by societal, technological, and cultural aspects. Yet much is left to be discovered on this paradise, I cannot help but wonder why we share the same forgotten words. There may be much to discover on this world but we should not underestimate what we will rediscover from our past.   Whatever it is, we all call it "Our Lost Legacy"         AlTerra is a world based on a far removed world set in a very post apocalyptic setting. It is a very alien world where the rules of society have vastly changed from our own in order to adapt to a very wild and unforgiving world. Witness four nations do battle, make alliances and commit acts of espionage and stabotage against one another in a four way cold war where whoever makes the first move, could commit their last.   AlTerra has three main ideologies which the several people that inhabit it aspire to. They are:

• Mastery is the ideal of mastering the worlds alien species and using the environment for the benefit of the people.
• Tranquility is living at peace with the world side by side with the many radical species in favour of peace.
• Domination which aims to erradicate the alien life and terraform to a world that is more hospitable for people.

  The world consists of 4 main factions. These are not countries or even proper empires because none of them can properly tame the land. So each faction aspires to one ideology, and one odd one is caught in between all three.   The world centres itself around the two protaganists Miri and Siri. Two girls who have taken drastically different paths to navigate a world and bring peace to it.   The inspiration of the world stems from several sources. For example, i always felt that in typical DND campaigns or in RPGS, i always thought it was a little dumb that these crazy powerful creatures were powerless against humans. So, i wanted to make a world that people really struggled against the wild elements of the world and so I wanted to make it a central theme of the world to be about the transformation of society thanks to these elements.
