The Story
Set on the continent of Ulaya, The world of The Drowned Earth is tropical, thick with jungle, swamp and tropical archipelago.
Once, The world of The Drowned Earth was the home of a great, futuristic civilisation. Their cities spanned the globe, and they were beginning to conquer the solar system.
A terrible cataclysm ended that civilisation. For hundreds of years nature reclaimed the earth, prehistoric monsters ruled the wilds, while the survivors of the cataclysm known as "The Event" struggled to survive.
Now, a new Enlightenment has dawned. The fragile glimmer of civilisation has begun to shine, and the fight is on for who will control the knowledge being discovered in the ruins of the ancient world...

Are you wondering which faction to pick? You won't have to make your mind up until the pledge manager after the campaign, and during the campaign look out for some "faction breakdown" updates!
