It has been a millennium since the World of Nabushan fell upon the fires of judgment, and precious little remains of the world that was. We know now this event as The Burning Calamity, an truly terrible disaster that tore continents asunder and erased all we had accomplished, the world lay dead, glassed into oblivion. Many tell interpretations of what had led to the event, and precious few clues have been gleaned from the scattered remnants of the old world, but in the face of time it seems the knowledge of what led to the terrible reckoning of our past is all but lost. All that remains of the old world are the countless ruined cities, now consumed by the relentless sandstorms that roam the Great Wastes.

Memories have faded and tales have become distorted, but we know this as truth. Once the world of Naubshan was the beating heart a great Empire, spanning worlds just like our own. Once the very the stars above were ours to rule. Known simply as the Golden Age. Nabushan itself was once a prosperous, and lush world, filled with life. Ever since the Burning Calamity however, that once serene beauty is but a rare, miraculous sight, the world now covered in sand, stone and glass.

In the reborn world of Nabushan, Water has become a rare commodity in the Great Wastes, but is in great abundance in the few Oasis' that had survived and endured the passages of time, playing in part of the rise of city-states and communities along their shores.

The millennium passes, the Golden Age is far behind us now, and only hardship, conflict, games of dominance and desperation await us.

----------------------------

Welcome to Ashes of Nabushan! A Post-Apocalyptic RP set over a thousand years after a terrible disaster. A world of war, intrigue, adventure, and rediscovery! It's something I had been thinking on down for some months, piecing together little by little.

Various works of fiction have inspired this setting, from Dune, Mad Max, Rage, and to an extent, Star Wars(Desert Worlds like Tatooine, Geonosis Jakku, etc.). Although the Primary source of inspiration came from another rp with a very similar setting made by @Flagg(borrowing some elements form it).

Although this setting will generally have the worn-down, rough, and rustic look for most of the time, the Oasis States are far from it. The City-States and Communities that had the fortune of setting up around the these inland seas have the best quality of life, almost resembling Pre-Calamity Society, mostly free of the hardships of the Great Wastes.

This rp will be unique type of rp, where players will have the option of playing as a lone character, a small cast of them, or a full on faction(be it some nomadic tribe, mercenary company, raiders, a city-state, a wastelander community, etc, the possibilites are endless!)

So, anyone interested?

Also, here's the Map.(Borrowed from said rp mentioned, credit to its creation goes to @gorgenmast )

I'm interested and already have several ideas, but my participation will depend on if my RP takes off the floor.

Hey, this seems really interesting :)

I am wondering though, is there a plot that the players will be following or is it more of a sandbox type situation?

@Sam12435 It'll be more sandbox, players are welcome to collaborate their own plots with one another, be it between characters, groups or factions or all inbetween. And eventually, these separate plotlines may merge into something interesting.

Possibly. Though perhaps not immediately, depending on how much time I can muster at what point.

By the bye, you mentioned Nabushan was the core of a multi-planetary empire. Would that entail there might be non-humans among its population (assuming humans are the main species), or was no one else found among the stars this time?

Only if you want to. No need to force yourself :)

Correct, Nabushan has a sizeable non-human population alongside the humans.

For factions, I'm thinking of either:
-An order of scholar-warrior-priests who venture out of the haven of the Oasis states to unearth artifacts and knowledge about Nabushan pre-Calamity
-Mercenary group the scalps of a particularly hated xeno group in the Great Wastes
-A maritime city-state made entirely of reconstituted vehicles/detritus that exacts tolls on other states to gather their water

Not sure about a character yet

@babbysama Either of those sounds real good I'd say! :)

As for me, my mind's all over the place with ideas. From a marauding group of xenos, to a Despotic City-State, or the slight opposite.

I was thinking about a semi-nomadic society of couriers and scanvengers that lived symbiotically with pack animals such as wolves and travelled the wastes with high-speed vehicles and reconstructed sniper rifles, ala Mad Max.

I can imagine the raiders and city-states duking it out in arena-styled combat.
