Tellura Realtime Map

Tellura is a world under glass. Since the beginning of its (edit) year history it has been encapsulated in an impenetrable "Barrier" and sustained by ancient, ineffable engines. At the heart of this land lies the greatest of these devices: the Origin Machine, or "Orm" as it has come to be called. It's grand arches rise above the earth like the tip of an iceburg, and deep within it guts lie hundreds of thousand of "Sleepers." They are individuals with only vague impressions of their past. They could be from any time, of cultures yet unheard of, or even creatures never seen before. But for now they sleep, oblivious to the passing of time, until the Orm sees fit to release them. This is the world you have entered, Sleeper, and this is not a time of peace. The Sons of Light spearhead an effort from their shining citadels to preserve the Barrier and protect this paradise form the infinite darkness lurking outside the walls. The Mechanica Engineering Corps opposes them from their clockwork tower seeking any means to breach the Barrier and free Tellura from its prison. There are many cities and factions, and as many shades of grey in Tellura. What will you choose?
