In modern society the evolution of technology is a wolf in sheep's clothing: a blessing and a curse. Cure for the deadly disease is known and Stain is rare and scientists closed it behind an impenetrable wall known as the Pantheon Trials.

SETTING

Theme

In 21XX the world is advanced enough for technologies far more complex and unfathomable for the average citizen. Not unlike in old medieval times, when common folks mistook technology for magic, so does the evolution of science enable talented individuals to use abilities beyond common comprehension.Only certain talented members of the society are allowed to join the Phanteon Trial. A harsh and proving test with the promise of great reward, scientist under the supervision of the government created to test and study so said gifts as well as to make a fortune and entertain the poor and miserable, making them forget their misfortune watching others suffer.Aside a handful of cases via the black market's deepest circles, there is no other known source except the winning prize of said Trials. Needless to say the list of questions are longer than the hopefuls, trying to win the cure for the disease known as the Stain. Much is unknown about the whys and hows, veiling the real motive of the government in mist. What truth lies behind the tall walls of the Trial grounds?

The campaign will be run with 5th edition of D&D, borrowing a mildly simplified system (speed and armor types will be not a factor for ProjectLAZARUS) with custom classes, abilities, mobs and items.Linear leveling system will be implemented, where players can earn XP through certain activities such as creation of art or role playing and exchange it to levels, skills, items and customables.

About the WOrld

In detail description of the Continent and each Zone can be found in our Discord Server.

A continent which once bloomed and prospered. Forests which had no end to them, rivers with water clear enough to be able to drink without purification and skies with unbearable fresh air. A world once uncharted and pure for the corruption of evolution.A view no-one can really imagine anymore. With the sudden appearance of a new apex predator it took not much time for the species to conquer the untouched lands. Under a blink of an eye evolution took over and the felines form tribes, civilisations and let room for their technology to take over their morality. Conflict is the nature of ours and as such history has been not spared from its bloody influence. The world had it wars, wounded, scarred even, however always finding a way to heal and survive. Just like the habitants claiming this planet theirs.In modern times our only continent is populated to its fullest. Only some nations remained to be able to claim untouched natural areas, keeping forests and grasslands protected from the destructive touch of their own kind. Nations residing in the single continent and close to it have their own regulations, own believes and own demons. Some of them face economical issues, some of them suffer from ethnical dangers and population crisis and some of them are currupt, led by nothing else but a mortal god: money.After the outbreak borders have been closed for a long time, pushing nations to the brink of collapse, forcing the government to open their gates endangering the spread of Stain. Even with that risk, they had to make sure infrastructure and transport continues and the citizens are spared from starvation or a civil uprising.

Midan

Capital city of Zone 13 is housing the world leading research company: HaLoCor. In the short spawn of the recent years the city started to bloom and masses tried to migrate here in hope of a better life. A fortune was spent to support the research and technological investment, making the upper classes prosper. However, as the saying goes: the rich become richer and the poor becomes poorer, the sudden exposure to attention and investors enables the city to nurture a darker side to it, offering black market, illegal transaction and crime zones to get significant.Ever since the ivory walls of the Trial Grounds have been constructed, after the discovery of a vaccine, many tried to get a hold of it avoiding the trial process, ready to commit to any means just to acquire a single shot. Many tried with no success. HaLoCor holds the key to salvation and is adamant on proceeding with the Trial, so the despair of many and much. The island is a fortress hosting not only the Trial Ground, but barracks to support the non-stop military presence, Warehouses and God knows what else.
