The Golden Age

Revenant, The Age of Ash & Rebirth

World Synopsis: The Age of Ash and Rebirth Over a thousand years ago, the world as humanity knew it came to an end. The Cataclysm—an apocalyptic event of unknown origin—fractured the Earth, reshaping continents and awakening forces long thought to be myths. From the depths of the broken world, monstrous creatures, ancient demons, and eldritch beings emerged, threatening to wipe out what remained of civilization. Faced with extinction, humanity was forced to adapt. Some say it was evolution; others believe it was divine intervention or a cosmic curse. Regardless, humans began to manifest extraordinary abilities, wielding fire, lightning, ice, and even stranger forces. These individuals, called Revenants, became the last line of defense against the chaos, using their powers to push back the horrors that had overrun their lands. The Revenants were not born; they were chosen by the very forces that had shattered the world, and their abilities often came at great personal cost. Some gained extraordinary strength or elemental powers, while others were cursed with uncontrollable and dangerous abilities. But all were bound by the same fate: survival in a world that demanded sacrifice. Battles raged for centuries, and through blood, sweat, and sheer will, humanity survived. The Revenants, once revered as saviors, became legends, both feared and admired. Over time, civilization rebuilt itself, no longer the same as before. The shattered lands became sprawling city-continents, massive territories that now serve as hubs of power. Each city is governed not only by political leaders but also by those who wield supernatural abilities, some enforcing order while others pursue their own ambitions. The New Age: Order and Chaos With the monsters and demons driven into the uncharted lands, the world entered an uneasy peace. However, power breeds conflict. Not all who wield abilities fight for justice—some use their strength for personal gain, domination, or revenge. Warring factions, mercenary groups, and crime syndicates emerged, each vying for control in the shadows of civilization. Among these groups, the Revenants are both feared and revered—some see them as protectors, others as agents of chaos. At the heart of this fragile balance, groups like the Beasts of Prey roam the world, operating outside the law, caught between the forces of order and chaos. Some see them as outlaws, others as necessary evils. But in this world, survival depends not just on strength—but on the choices one makes. As the Revenants grow in power, rumors spread of an ancient force stirring beneath the surface. The Cycle of Ash—the world’s endless cycle of destruction and rebirth—may not yet be over. Those who possess the rarest and most dangerous abilities, like Dax, are beginning to experience strange visions, leading them to question whether the Revenants' powers are truly their gift or a curse that binds them to the world's fate.

The Golden Mouth Legend

At the end of the Second World War. On the island of Goiter, near Crete, a German base is sighted and Lieutenant Marco Kastriokis of HMS Ajax is sent on patrol to prepare for the bombing of the place. He meets Anna and the two fall in love, causing jealousy of someone. An old legend tells that on the island there is a hidden place, the Golden Mouth, from which nobody has never returned because it is guarded by the Golden Monster. But it is a kind of magic place that helps who is in life danger. Marco is captured with Anna and is unable to communicate the data to the ship, but the attack takes place as if the crew of the ship would be advised, not according to the normal precautions that it would require. Marco and Anna free themselves, with the help of Maddalena, but they are hunted by Kepfel, the base commander. They find the Golden Mouth and enter, but they separate and, when Marco exits, time is in the mouth had been equivalent to one hundred and ten years outside. He finds Giovanni, Anna's father, who searched for them in the mouth, suffering the whims of time. From the mouth come out some nuns, who tell him about the cave and about Sister Maria. Marco becomes convinced that Maria is Anna and enters the mouth where Sister Maria, who is a seventy-year-old nun, introduces him to Sergio, a scientist, expert on mouths, who never completed the data to complete his research. There are two mouths inside the cave: one leads forward in time and the other backwards, but it is blocked from the outside by a landslide. Marco tries his luck again and goes back. He removes the landslide and tries to return to his time, but anticipates it by twenty years. Ettore and Chiara host him, and he becomes Marcos Kastro. Marcos has to fix the future events. When Sergio enters the mouth, Ettore, who doesn't want to live another war, follows him: He will explain to Sergio the data he would need. Marcos prevents the murder of Kassandra, by Shulz, the deputy commander of the base, and incidentally, prevents Maddalena from becoming the prostitute who will help Marco Kastriokis. He'll have to help him. He shows up on Ajax and ensures that the attack occurs without harm to Kastri. Kastriokis manages to free himself and escape with Anna, but Chiara will prevent him from entering the mouths. Sergio and Ettore will appear a few days later, thanks to the accuracy of Marcos' data.
