Boscage 4

Why: I've been a dungeon master since I was a child and I wanted to expand into the for pay market, but I also wanted to get a professional campaign going where the players can actively change the world and add their own story. A good dungeon master let's the players do 80% of the work as they sit back and react to their play style VS railroad the party into a monster guarding a random unspent treasure hoard and unused magical items. I did this stuff by hand and thought, why not it's 2022, so here I am Gaia, ready to take world creation seriously. I'll miss colored pencils, but I'm tired of stacks of paper and filling in thousands of hex grids with map details.   Boscage 4 is a large moon wracked by war in times past, a war which left it's poisonous pock marks all about, a land filled with mysterious cities haunted by devils, humanoid machines that speak and think, larges swaths of radioactive deserts, and ancient technology that befuddles the commoners' senses. Boscage 4 is broken apart and finally coming back to it's senses, fore it has been in a deep slumber, it's planet brain shattered by atomic weapons and weather weapons. The majority of people on Boscage 4 are genetically engineered slaves from the old days that finally awoke from cryo stasis when the global fusion back up generators failed and forced what is known as, "the mass awakening." For the last few thousands years since then, society has slowly patched itself together, creating a Balkanized world of many technological and philosophical ideas juxtaposed against one another, such as Tiefling feudal iron age lords that work plutonium strip mines left by the ancients, Gnomish trade empires run on fusion powered airships, Dwarven fusion powered railway systems that were hacked back together, and the ancient trade race of Eladrin who crash landed so long ago.   Before it's fall, Boscage 4 was a lush jungle planet that provided many reagents for medicines, and was mineral rich with radioactive materials such as plutonium. The ancient civilization known as the Kel'tarar had just invented space flight and started to settle the moons around the planet Boscage, an earth sized planet filled with lush jungles, vast swamps, and active volcanos that spewed volcanic ash over fertile grass lands. The three factions on Boscage at the time were the eco conscious green party, the royal purple party, and the red war party, all who sought to control the space trade and take planet for themselves. The Kel'tarar were very intelligent, but also very emotional, and it was their need to fight it out and be right, rather than cooperate and create a master mind, which lead to the final wars. Resources had become limited, the environment was destroyed along with the atmosphere, a sense of common culture evaporated the more technology inundated daily lives, their god images turned to rational disbelief which opened up gate ways into Hell, and bickering among political elites didn't get the population anywhere.   As resources hit a critical low, planetary food shortages were common and Boscage along with many of it's moons suffered mass die offs from famine, which lead to disease, and eventually war as local leaders scrambled for food and water. The green party used weather weapons to create tornados and eco bombs to destroy anything that was unnatural and mutate the flora and fauna into aggressive biological weapons. The royal purple party got entire sectors of the population to fight one another as they stored as many resources as possible away in underground, underwater, and sky vaults for the elite. The red war party used atomic weapons to hit valuable targets such as capital cities and their mining operations, which caused poisonous winds to blow across the planet. The combined use of all these weapons destroyed the Kel'tarar trade network which in turn led to a communications break down, and in a mere 3 months most of Boscage and it's moons were beyond repair, fated to unfurl in a new evolutionary direction. A few colonies did survive for a few thousand years after that, but eventually their fusion powered back up generators failed, and their cities that floated on clouds of technology crumpled to the ground. A few of the ancient technologies were preserved in their primitive forms, but most was lost to the sands of time, perhaps only to be found again during some archeological dig?   As civilization patches itself back together, more ancient cities of the Kel'tarar have been dug up only to unleash devils and technology upon the land, the consequences of which are unknown, but probably bad for the natives. The star people have warned the natives about the old technology, since even their people used to fly through the heavens in metals ships, because it lead them to doom just as much the Kel'tarar. What will the characters do? Embrace or distrust this new technology? Fight along or against these devils who preach corruption and non belief? Make sure to prevent the technological mistakes of their ancestors or use it correctly this time around the great wheel of life?
