THE CHRONICLE OF THE BLEED
Era 0: The Age of Architects
Humanity at its technological apex. The manipulation of fundamental physics and the construction of the Black Spire City. The terminal hubris that led them to attempt to drain the void itself.
The Silent Bleed
The containment fields of the Aetheric Bridge Project fail. The tear in reality bleeds void-energy into the world. Humanity is erased instantly—not by violence, but by cognitive dissonance. The age of flesh ends.
Era I: The Awakened Pack
The canines have ascended. The Blight-Trace virus has forced a rapid, brutal evolution. Packs now organize in the ruins, utilizing scavenged Old World tech to stave off the void-entities that drift through the fracture.
Era II: Horizon of Fate
The void-rift grows unstable. Will the Pack-Kin succumb to the Bleed, attempt to seal the rift, or embrace the void to transcend their current form? The history of this era is written by the collective choices of the pack leaders.
