Pokemorph Below Setting

Far below the surface, a species of evolved pokemon in man’s image survive with what little light, food, and water that they can deep within massive underground caverns. The surface is a myth faded into legend of scorched fires and hellish destruction, yet tinged with a bittersweet hope that time could heal all. After centuries of being below, the uneasy truces between different cavern-based city states and their resources is beginning to fray, even as a new hope rises in recently created semi-neutral factions. This is the world for Pokemorph Below.

The Original City, Canal City sits with an uneasy truce with the Rebel-made Scrap Town, with years of built up tension from the rebel’s sound defeat still broiling below the surface in their ancient wreckage-based home. Meanwhile, Basalt City, originally an offshoot to Canal City and used for its abundant natural geothermal sources and an effective recycling dump yard for polluting waste, is beginning to grow it’s own power base in defiance of centuries of edicts from Canal City’s nobles.

Set between these powers is The Guild, the latest faction to be created in Canal City to act as a beacon of hope and help to explorers and city-dwellers alike, and The Mercenaries, billing themselves as ’true neutral’ to counter The Guild’s relationship to Canal City, and without The Guild’s code of ethics.
