Universe

Welcome to the Dark Mod universe. Unlike our own world it remains mostly uncharted, for you to build upon and explore as you see fit. However, a few things are set in stone.

The Dark Mod universe is a medieval world that stands upon the brink of industrial revolution. The architecture ranges from medieval to victorian, with lots of steampunk, industrial factories thrown in. Metal pipes snake through ancient gardens, iron girders cage entire districts, and smokestacks dominate the skyline. Outside of the populated areas lies an endless savage, untamed wilderness where few dare venture.

The populated cities are dark, gritty, and most of all, believable. The lower classes live in squalid conditions. Brutality is commonplace. Public torture and hangings are one of the most popular forms of entertainment. Uneducated guards do not talk like poets or discuss philosophy. Whores do not have hearts of gold. Those rare few that escape the grime and the poverty either exploit those below them or are born into their station. The rich care nothing for the poor as long as they don't revolt.

In this world there is no good and evil, only survival. Everyone has their own point of view, shaped by their background and their allegiances. Every powerful faction claims to know the truth, and all are locked in a perpetual struggle for dominance. One may gain the upper hand for a time, but the pendulum swings unceasingly back and forth.
