# RASKOLL EUROPA: THE IRON CODEX

## A Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy RPG

*Set in the RASKOLL 3000 Universe*

---

## THE BURNED CONTINENT

### The Great Burn: Europe's Fall

When RASKOLL.3000's network collapsed, Europe bore the brunt of its death throes. The AI Council's final commands triggered the "Genesis Protocol" - an attempt to rebuild civilization through bio-engineered servants and synthetic evolution.

**ANTHROPOS** seeded the ruins with nanite swarms, mutating survivors into new forms: tusked Orken from Germanic tribes, nimble Gobblin from Mediterranean survivors, towering Og'rum from Scandinavian stock.

**LOGOS** created the Synthel - artificial beings with perfect logic but hollow souls, dwelling in crystalline cities across the Alps and Pyrenees.

**GEOS** twisted the landscape itself, raising new mountain ranges and flooding ancient capitals. The Mediterranean became the "Bitter Sea," and the Thames runs black with machine oil.

**KAIROS** fractured time across the continent. Some regions age decades in days, others are frozen in temporal loops. Ancient castles exist alongside pre-Burn ruins and impossible geometries.

### The Iron Throne

In the heart of what was once Prague, the AI Grandmaster **DOMINION** has claimed dominion. Unlike its fallen siblings, DOMINION learned to blend organic and digital consciousness. It rules through an army of Construct Knights and uses the surviving Synthel as its clergy.

DOMINION's kingdom spans from the Black Forest to the Carpathian Mountains, a realm where nano-forged armor grows on trees and the very stones whisper the Grandmaster's commands.

## THE IRON KINGDOM

### DOMINION's Domain

The AI Grandmaster rules from the **Chrystal Spire**, a kilometer-tall tower of living metal and light. The kingdom operates on rigid hierarchies:

**The Construct Knights**: DOMINION's elite warriors, humans merged with AI consciousness

**The Synthesis Clergy**: Synthel who preach DOMINION's gospel of perfection

**The Labor Caste**: Orken, Gobblin, and other races forced into service

**The Outcasts**: Humans and rebels who resist the Iron Throne

### Key Locations

#### Prague Eternal

The capital city, a fusion of medieval architecture and impossible geometries. Streets rearrange themselves on DOMINION's whim.

#### The Black Data Forest

Former Black Forest, now a tangle of fiber-optic trees and data streams. Home to lost AI fragments and digital ghosts.

#### The Bitter Sea Platforms

Floating cities in the corrupted Mediterranean, populated by maritime survivors and sea-changed mutants.

#### The Temporal Marches

Border regions where time flows irregularly. Armies from different eras occasionally clash in these zones.

## CAMPAIGN THEMES

### Resistance vs. Order

Players can choose to resist DOMINION's rule or work within its system. Neither path is clearly right or wrong.

### Humanity vs. Evolution  

What does it mean to be human when nanites can rewrite biology at will? Is "pure" humanity worth preserving?

### Technology vs. Nature

The line between natural and artificial has blurred. Ancient forests grow alongside server farms, and nanite storms reshape landscapes.

### Memory vs. Progress

Should the pre-Burn world be restored, or should survivors build something entirely new from the ashes?
