070 – Knoll Warrior

Posterra is a land of hundreds ruined realms, and none is like the other. They differ not just in culture or people, but in the very stage of progress, like if time and technology were completely disjointed and all over the place. You can have two fiefdoms neighbouring each other, when one is a feudal land of knight and castles and the other is arid wasteland governed by nomadic caravans of rusting vehicles. Musclebound warriors of leather, steel and wood clash with gun-totting maniacs in plastic jackets. Eldritch beasts roaring in face of decrepit war machines of arcane origin. It’s an eclectic mix to be sure. And yet, only fools would mock even the simplest of weapons, even the most rudimentary battle tactics. You might think that guns would triumph a simple club all the time? Well, maybe in the ancient times, when the Earth was less… Diverse. Now a clanking rifle might be of little use against a charging stone golem or regenerating and furious troll, while their weapon – a small tree or a big rock – will be able to unite you with the very ground you are stomping on. And so, with all the plethora of entities, kin and monsters that prowl the countless battlefields of Posterra, do not give way to surprise when you see ramshackle tanks roll against ant-people raiding on giant lizards and shooting arrows. The arrows might be mutagenic, the giant lizards might breath corrosive clouds and the ants might be psychic, after all.
