In the year 1986, on a planet long forgotten by order and overrun by decay, one kingdom
remains. Ruled by the solitary and merciless Queen Valerie—once Val Ayers—this towering
stronghold survives amid ash-choked skies and deadened cities. Her court is comprised
not of nobles, but of suits: Club, Heart, Diamond, and Spade, each carrying a past buried in
ruin.

Two strangers—Basil, a defiant adult with more fire than fear, and Bernadette, a woman
hardened by loss—are thrown together in the wastelands beyond the queen's reach. When
survival forces alliance, rebellion takes root. But as the mission to dethrone the queen
deepens, so do the fractures between intent and desire.

What blooms between enemy lines may threaten the last flicker of hope left on the planet.
And not every heart beats for the same ending.

Planet name: Nexora
[ ❖ ]xxSunless days: The atmosphere is heavy with particulates, blocking direct sunlight—everything glows in a dim, muted way, like eternal dusk.
[ ❖ ]xxGlass deserts: Sands melted into jagged panes; beautiful but deadly.
[❖ ]xxRust forests: Dead metal towers and overgrowth combine, like nature trying to reclaim collapsed infrastructure.
[ ❖ ]xxAsh storms: Unpredictable and acidic, they shift the planet's terrain with every blast.
[ ❖ ]xxLuminous fungi: The only thriving life is bioluminescent and often toxic—used for medicine, poison, or light.
[ ❖ ]xxBleeding rivers: Water is scarce and tinted red from sediment and rot.​

Map Legend:
1. Crownreach
Description: This is the capital region, where the queen’s kingdom stands tall in its last bastion of power. Crownreach is a desolate, jagged spire of ancient stone and metal that remains upright amidst the endless erosion. The land around the citadel is barren, filled with crumbling architecture, and haunted by those who still serve under the queen’s iron rule.
Significance: The heart of the last known civilization and the seat of absolute power.

2. The Withering Belt
Description: A large swath of land marked by storms of ash and acidic rains. The environment is constantly shifting as the last remnants of plant life fight to survive. Fungal patches thrive here, their bioluminescent spores glowing eerily beneath the dead skies. This region is incredibly dangerous, with few resources for survival.
Significance: The Withering Belt is an area of despair and decay, full of dangerous wildlife and hostile survivors scavenging for what little is left.

3. The Rustwaste
Description: A massive wasteland of broken machinery, twisted metal, and rusting remains of old technology. The Rustwaste is the planet’s version of a scrapyard, stretching for miles. It’s an inhospitable region, with harsh terrain that is difficult to navigate. Acid rain has corroded what was once the pinnacle of industrial progress, leaving behind jagged, twisted remains.
Significance: A reminder of the world’s fall—once a symbol of prosperity, now a dead zone of rusting metal and forgotten tech.

4. Spade’s Hollow
Description: Named after Spade, the youngest of the queen’s guards, this is a small but densely-packed area of secluded caves and subterranean tunnels that run beneath the planet’s surface. The Hollow is known for its underground streams of glowing water, and strange flora that thrives in total darkness.
Significance: Mysterious and dangerous, Spade’s Hollow is a place of refuge for rebels or those seeking to hide from the queen’s forces. It’s a shadowy corner of Nexora where the forgotten still live and plan.

5. Kingdom of Crownreach
Description: The kingdom is an imposing fortress city, perched high in the Crownreach region, encircled by towering spires of broken stone and decaying technology. The land surrounding the kingdom is barren, full of jagged cliffs and cracked earth, with the occasional remnants of old military structures scattered about.
Significance: The queen’s citadel is located here, and it’s the final bastion of Nexora's broken society. Few dare to approach, as the queen’s forces guard it relentlessly. The land is lifeless, save for the rare individuals who serve or live under the shadow of the queen’s reign.​
