The Gate
Welcome to The Gate, or Medieval Fantasy Rape Time. The 20th century has brought with it many great things: industry, urbanization, medicine and most importantly war. The turn of the century saw to the Greatest War the World has ever witness. Hundreds of thousands fell to deadly and impersonal tactics and technologies. To the victor the spoils and to the loser ruin.
It is the morning of October 25th, 1939. The allied powers sit complacent in their past victory. France sports one of the largest armies in the world and holds an impressive defensive border with Germany, the Maginot line.
On the other side the 3rd Reich has risen from the devastation and humiliation of the Great War into one of the world's largest industrial powers in but a few short years. Their power is great, their ambitions even greater.
Back across France and over a narrow channel of water seats one of the Greatest Maritime Empires to have ever existed. Their influence and reach reaches across the world, old colonies now free see them as friends and allies while they themselves hold their own industrial might.
Across a greater stretch of ocean a sleeping giant fights off an internal sickness, but its inherent powers reverberate throughout the world. This young nation, the United States of America, has grown exponentially since its founding, great tycoons compete to produce one of the most powerful industrial powers. This country, while young holds, boundless potential its limitless acres slowing growing into steel monstrosities.
To the far east, another emergent power grows unchecked. The Empire of Japan has grown in the past 2 years, its ancestral lands no longer enough for them. Its neighbors held witness to their brutality and ferocity as the far east runs red and even with the bloody conquest in China the Empire greedily sets its ambitions beyond the horizon.
A strange portal has opened in secret to one of these great nations. A portal to a new and mysterious world that their respective governments will assuredly seek the new virgin lands. Research has been conducted on the inner workings of the gate. Cameras have been sent through to reveal a forest clearing to a large river. Live scouts have been sent through and confirmed that radios do function across the other side. However, Command dares not venture far from the portal.
The portal is Open for 1-2 mins at a time, and requires a month to recharge. Now command wants YOU sir to lead an expedition to establish a base of operations which may lead to future colonization.
NOW SIR, YOU ARE?
