War for Maxswana (BenEarth)

 In the year 2027, Maxswana was invaded by the neighbouring Zenithistan after a large gold deposit was discovered in the Maxamoko Region. The Zenithians superior military technology and might saw them quickly sweep aside the defenders and install a puppet government, The Maxswanan Central Council (MCC) This new regime was certainly less corrupt than the previous dictatorship the country had lived under and for many within the more densely populated areas it saw their quality of life improve exponentially. Railways were built, schools opened and clean water became commonplace. However in the more rural areas many were discontent with the new government. Better policing meant Warlords and corrupt local leaders were unable to operate in broad daylight. Not to mention the massive mining operations being conducted by the Zenithians were devastating the Jungles and farmlands of rural Maxswana.

It was a group of Warlords and exiled nationalist generals who decided enough was enough, gathered arms, recruited soldiers and launched a full scale assault against the Central Council's forces. Due to a series of increasingly poor decisions by the Council's commanders, the revolutionaries were successful in overthrowing the Council and seizing Bokanoko, the Maxswanan capital. With their mining jobs done the Zenithistani government was uninterested in intervening in the conflict against the very puppets they had set up. 

The country of Maxswana is now more divided than ever, whilst the council still holds power in a small pocket of the east the rest of Maxswana has been thrown into an anarchic state of constant fighting between different Warlords and madmen proclaiming to be the rightful heir to the throne. The Zenithians sometimes send troops or equipment to support the Council or even Warlords. This is to ensure no one group can take enough territory to become a threat to Zenithistan. Maxswana, in some realities is a planet spanning empire filled with myth and magic, in others it is a set of mysterious islands to the north of the American Empire. In this one it is nothing but a failed state. A land ruined by the greed of it's neighbours and citizens alike.

Chromatic Slimes

 The Slime Empire is a small but expanding dominion of assorted half sentient blobular amoeba which slither and creep. Their Empire is a collection of small airless planetoids orbiting a massive and impossibly large slimluoid with a star trapped inside it's  gelatinous body acting as both it's nucleus and it's source of eternal energy. This is called the Redsun Starslime in the Sky The most commonly seen of the Slime Empire's army are the Red Slimes. These are bloody hued, aggressive and unacceptably fast. They will jump onto their foes and dissolve them with their vile, jellyflesh. The second most common are the Green Slimes, they are expert ranged attackers and can spit acid across quite a long distance. There are also the Ochre Slimes, which are larger and more matured Red or Green Slimes which are slower but very durable and will usually act as bodyguards to their commanders. The Dreaded Psylime! These bubbling Pinkupods smell sickly sweet and can use Psychic attack...

The Races of Maxedonia

Image
  There are several sentient races on the world of Maxedonia. The smallest of them are the Gnomes, around half the height of an Elf they are individually weak and cowardly but in numbers they have a massive advantage. The Elves of Maxedonia are basically just humans. No pointy ears or inherent magic ability. I feel this is an overused trope in creatures with the name elf. Also they aren't a bunch of pansy tree huggers either, they are an industrial steam driven imperialistic people with a desire to see all of Maxedonia under their command. Basically the British empire. Trolls on the other hand are far more primitive minded. A few might carry black powder weapons but they are far more comfortable with crossbows and longswords. Trolls ARE inherently magical but my magic system will likely be more fairy-tale esque and not "harry potter" or "midichlorian BS" systems of spellcasting. Don't expect trolls to be lifting objects with their mind or hurling lightning b...

With InterGard gone and much of the Wiggerverse in ruins a new power arises to conquer the stars once more. The robotic metalclones, called The Caste are spreading their influence across creation. However they are not uncontested, an alliance of several distinct rival hiveminds have arisen to destroy the threat posed by the merciless Caste.The first two of these hiveminds were once a single entity called Jin, now it is split into two warring factions, the Firebloods and the Darkspawn. Despite their difference they have temporarily put aside past grievances to combat the Caste. Fireblood clones are, like most clone races descended from InterGard battleclones, they have a shimmering visage but are still formed from the same GANIC cloneflesh that almost all clones are made from. Darkspawn Clones are again, descendants of InterGard clones however they are tainted with Demon Blood which has twisted them into half spectral beings, Darkspawn's Hivemind is almost bestial in it's method...
