Two empires fight for the last remaining site of a rare resource?
Here's something interesting....
Two INHUMAN empires fight for the last remaining site of a rare resource?
Humans across varying cultures are taught (sometimes) and begin to discover how to use "Souls" as a power source in magic and in technology.
And perhaps the last remaining site is a population of Humans?
The Inhuman empires are fighting for control of the last population of humans left in a shattered world, because they're the easiest to harvest "souls" from?
Nah. I think the humans are irrelevant to these guys/things. Also if they're the last humans then It goes against the whole "varying cultures" the idea I was shooting for is that people figure out like several different ways to do it. Also... since were out of order we already know there's gate like space exploration. So there's no reason for "the last humans"... until we start doing the timeline.
So big picture stuff:
A. Two un-human ancient races are having a resource war.
B. Humans have souls, and across the world, cultures find this out, and develop magic and sometimes technologies, but ultimately superpowers and magic.
Really I'm just flushing out the legends and potential of humans in the game. We totally know that there's going to be an alien invasion so the resource war probably gets won by 1 side or the other and eventually make it to our "earth like" planet., the how when and why comes way later. in the game I think.
Which is a good question, Our earth? Or fantasy earth?
