World of Phoibos Dramatic Conflict & Ideology

Phoibos Political Map

“The Peoples of Phoibos can be grouped by common origin. Most factions have a history intertwined with one of five powers, three ancient and two new. 

Yet, origin is but one lens among many. Shared origin no guarantee of shared interests or beliefs. Indeed, many of Phoibos’ peoples find common ground amongst ideology, values, or threats.”

Visecious, “Modern Origins & Past’s Poiesis: A History of Phoibos

The Major Factions

Abyssal Fleets

The Abyssal Fleets contain descendants of intergalactic voyagers crashed to Phoibos. Held pariah for their ancestor’s alleged deicides, the fleets adapt magi-technologies to survive an inhospitable world.

Northern Fleet
Eastern Fleet
Southern Fleet
Ex-Western Fleet
Central Fleet

Abyssal Tyrants

Fay

The fall of the Fay Empires was a history of family dramas and crises of Fay identity. These splintered remnants seek to resurrect gods from ashes of the guilty, to reclaim and rebuild a fallen homeland, or simply solace and space to pursue research towards true immortality.

Necrotic
Exile
Sylvan

Underdeep

Weathering the cataclysm’s fallout through retreat to bunker-fortresses, the isolated peoples of the Underdeep underwent revolutions, constructed god-like AIs in their own image, and formed new genetic-worshiping caste-systems. New upheavals loom as Underdeep societies emerge and encounter Phoibos’ peoples.

Centaur

Shared myths tale of the birth of three ‘living-divine’, who, born of nature’s death, would found great theocratic empires where those sharing values might thrive. Free of wretched magics and ruinous technologies, the prosperous citizens of the Centaur hierophants enjoy omniscient tactics and laws enforced by divine knowledge and divine favor.

Were

Born of the magics that twisted and transformed Phoibos’ life-forms, the Were have largely inherited the planet, here occupying what was once another’s seat of power, there repurposing coveted technologies long forgotten. Diverse in world-views, forms of government, and philosophies towards magic, in the Were perhaps resides the best hope for reimagining more perfect societies.
