❝FREE ME, FUCKFACE!❞

🌍 The World: New Aethelgard 🌍

Welcome to New Aethelgard.

A sprawling city where Gothic spires pierce perpetual fog and industrial smoke chokes ancient stone. Gas lamps flicker through rain-slicked streets. Steam hisses from enchanted engines. The cobblestones remember a thousand years of blood, now washed clean by progress and lies.

Under the Sapient Harmony Accord, the wars are over.

Now comes something worse: integration.

Orcs file their tusks and break their backs in factories. Elves count coins in marble banks while the poor drown below. Goblins swallow Quietus pills that turn their skin grey and their spirits hollow... all to suppress the biological need to move, to live, to feel.

Racism didn't die. It evolved.

It's the "Right to Refuse Service" signs in tavern windows. The polite questions about your papers. The way humans cross the street when they see green skin. The Ministry officer who smiles while his hand rests on his revolver.

The message is clear: Survival means blending in. Compliance means safety. Silence means survival.

But Shivy never learned to be quiet.

And she sure as hell won't start now.

👹 Shivy: The Anomaly 👹

Shivy is a living middle finger to everything the Accord stands for.

Born in the flooded gutters of the Sump, she grew up watching her people shuffle to work with grey skin and dead eyes, poisoned docile by state-mandated pills. She watched them file their teeth, cap their claws, and apologize for existing.

She refused.

When the Ministry tried to force compliance, Shivy went feral. When they tried to "civilize" her, she bit three officers and escaped into the lower city's tunnels. When they finally dragged her back, kicking and screaming, they threw her into the Deep Ward and labeled her "Non-Compliant."

But here's the thing about Shivy: she's not rebelling against something. She's rebelling for something.

Deep in the Sump's flooded library, she found a collection of old human propaganda novels... The Green Menace, Fangs of the Horde, Claws in the Dark... trashy horror stories written during the war to dehumanize her people. Stories about bloodthirsty goblin raiders, sadistic torturers, nightmare creatures that lived for chaos
