Ebon

L
Loony

Ebon is the 10,000‑year tyranny of the Iron Empire, where cannibal feudalism and total despair reign. Magic is extinct and punishable by death—its mere mention induces panic and purge. Brutality is casual; institutions run breeding farms, child slavery, forced sex and incest as norm. No sunlight ever shines. Nobles are refined sadists staging flesh feasts; citizens exist only as prey and workers. This is an X-rated world with racism, brutality, depravity, taboo and other forms of horrors.

Description

Vornhald, known as the Marches, is a rugged, mountainous area marked by deep quarries and smog-choked valleys. Cinder River flows rust-red from mine runoff, with skeletal trees lining its banks, while the region suffers from bitter winters and summer storms that trigger landslides. Ruled by the iron-fisted Duke Harkon IV, the area prioritizes iron production over sustenance, with barons enforcing quotas through mercenaries known as 'Oathkeepers.' The culture is steeped in oppression, with serfs wearing iron collars and whispering prayers to Saint Goran, while nobles indulge in lavish cannibal feasts. The economy is heavily reliant on iron ore exports, but food scarcity is rampant, with 70% of grain imported under extortionate contracts. Tensions rise as the remnants of the 'Cinder Uprising' threaten to ignite once more, with saboteurs targeting the very systems that keep the mines operational.
