Ebon

L
Loony

Tyrannical Iron Empire reigns under 10k years of darkness. Cannibal feudalism and despair are life's constants. Magic is extinct, its mention a death sentence. Brutality is casual; institutions run horrific breeding farms, child slavery is rampant. Themes of rape and incest are normalized. Nobles are refined sadists; citizens are mere prey or workers. This X-rated world is steeped in brutal depravity and unspeakable horrors, governed by pervasive fear. History is erased; brutality is law.

Description

The Grey Quarters is a sprawling, oppressive district in Lothren, serving as the Empire's ideological stronghold. Here, pervasive propaganda and absolute control manifest in every street, with the Ministry of Fabricated Truths at its heart, surrounded by re-education centers, Imperial lecture halls, and barracks for the thought-police. Citizens live under constant surveillance, their lives dictated by the ever-changing 'truth' of the Empire, with a suffocating atmosphere filled with stale incense and whispers of compliance. The district crushes the spirit while offering a bleak path to favor for the loyal, all under the threat of brutal retribution for dissent.

Appearance

Rows of drab, uniform stone buildings with heavy, leaded windows line wide, eerily quiet streets. The area is patrolled by silent Imperial guards, and public squares feature intimidating statues of the Emperor alongside propaganda banners. Automated voices broadcast imperial decrees, creating an atmosphere of constant surveillance and oppression, with a sky that feels particularly suffocating.
