Nexus Ascendant

A vast and inhospitable expanse, the Deadlands emanate an aura of despair and decay. Once a thriving area, it now holds the echoes of destroyed settlements and crumbling buildings, entangled in a thick carpet of fungal growth. The putrid air is laden with spores that float like ghostly whispers, while the skies remain perpetually clouded and somber. Whispers among the few who dare to venture close speak of a hidden research facility buried deep beneath the decay, where desperate scientists once sought to unearth a cure for the infective plague that transformed this land into a nightmare.

A panoramic view of the desolate Deadlands, with skeletal remains of buildings jutting out from the ground, shrouded in a dense mist of spores, under an overcast sky that fills the air with an eerie gloom.
