Introduction
It was too good to be without a price.
As they say, "if you look into the void, something is bound to stare back." The skies distorted, a green hue replacing the bright blue, storms erupted and then that something emerged. His name was Lehechalesh, a being with many appendages and a hollow stare, possessing horrifying power that we had never before witnessed. We stood no chance, and were swiftly overtaken by the tyrant from another world. He ruled with an iron fist, unmoved by our plights, saying we were stupid creatures incapable of understanding the price of our insolence, that he knew what was best for us.
From beyond his gaze, we worked underground, once again binding magic and technology, training, with the intent to retake our world. Years of preparation, and we finally made our assault, many fell, or were driven mad by the twisted nature of the power, and in the end only the greatest of us were left standing against Lehechalesh himself. After a lengthy struggle that seemed hopeless, a decisive blow was struck and the once great titan fell with one final warning with a sickly laugh.
"How interesting, are you truly ready to hold your world as your own, to face the scavengers who will soon seek to pick at my corpse? Keep your freedom, if you can, for everyone has a price."
It soon became clear, whatever other things resided beyond the void was kept away due to Lehechalesh, and lesser beings began to emerge, after the power of the wounded tyrant leaving him to be quarantined in an effort to deter them. Worse was the discovery that the obelisks could not be shut down.
The surviving heroes had no choice but to train a new generation of defenders, the Knighthood of the Adrichal Protectorate, or KAP for short. While standard guard exists, these are the elite who are to stand against special cases should another like Lehechalesh emerge. Most countries have adopted this, with the exception of Kaymbden who have taken part in ethically dubious and extreme measures of augmenting select citizens, sometimes to the point of no longer being recognizably human.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
He met Victor's eyes and thought he understood what the glance meant. Alexei flashed him a thumbs-up. He glanced around at the tunnel. The train would pass close to the walls where he was standing, but there wasn't much for him to do but get out of the way. He pressed himself into a alcove next to another soldier.
They both prepared to defend themselves. Victor, however seemed to be taking a more direct approach, punching through the side. Alexei winced watching Victor pull his hand out of the train, dragging with it what looked like half a human arm. He reminded himself to address it later as he pulled his gun.
"Don't be surprised if this thing has some weird enchantments, I seriously doubt this is just a train with a lot of additional steel welded onto it," he cautions, looking to the others. "Even if that is crude, it is still dangerous... well, actually that'd be even worse, more volatile." With that he prepares his own magic, chilling the air around his arms awaiting an opening.
Viktoriya on the other hand was far too big to break for cover, and the loud shrieking of the breaks caused her to wince. Having two sensitive ears was one thing, having four, well, the sound was its own kind of torture. Drawing her ears back, she starts to hop about, keeping her eyes on the portholes, not staying in one position long in order to avoid staying a sitting duck. It was too armored to attack physically, even if she could ram it, it'd be a generally bad idea... a bad idea Victor had taken the liberty to take for her. Her blue eyes widening for a moment.
"What?" she manages to mutter as the armored mutant tears away at the heavy train. Her face cracks into a grin, or was it a grimace? Hard to tell. With a rumbling sound in the depths of her throat, she gets down lets out a sound, a roar of a lowering frequency and high amplitude, continuing until it is purely violent vibrations in the air. Luckily for her comrades, and their eardrums and... insides... it was also quite focused upon the heavy train. Even if it didn't pierce the thick shell of the mechanical monster, it'd still rattle the occupants as well as possibly the framework.
Of course Zeke's worries came to light as the sides of the train began to glow. Runes began to appear on the train at the pilot laughed. "'Ol Iron has much more tricks dogs! 'Ere! Time to teach you to play dead!" The man laughed as the train unleashed a close range shockwave at Victor.
As the same time the train opened up portholes, at least eight in total preparing to fire a volley of cannons at the enemy. Along with weapons reloaded. It was going to retaliate in full and as the bullets and cannons flew once again, the train continued its ominous glow. A creation of both technology and runic magic.

Once bustling with activity carrying passengers about the city, these subway lines have gone defunct from the cataclysm, now sheltering those few that worship the ones from beyond.

The city where the first Adrichal Obelisk was constructed and activated, and naturally the one where the highest activity occurs.

Once a natural park known for its relaxing dirt trails is now twisted by the other world. Some flora and fauna is not native, and are certainly not welcoming to hikers.
