Monolith

MONOLITH
The Monolith is a powerful alliance of nations, formed in the aftermath of a global disaster. A mysterious phenomenon, known as the "Emission", and the growing discontent of members of the DUTY alliance, the combination had caused widespread destruction and mutated the regions of now its capital - Eldritch. Amid this chaos, the Monolith emerged as a beacon of hope, uniting the nations under its banner.

The Monolith is governed by Ferbez, and the C-CONSCIOUSNESS, who possess a deep understanding of the strange, mutated world that emerged after the Emission.

The Monolith is a highly organized and centralized society, with a strong emphasis on order and stability. It is seen as a symbol of hope and a bastion of civilization in a world overrun by chaos. Its armies are composed of highly trained soldiers, equipped with advanced weapons and technology, and tasked with maintaining order and protecting the alliance's citizens.

Despite its powerful military and technologically advanced society, the Monolith is not without its enemies. Some seek to challenge its authority and disrupt the fragile peace it has established. The Monolith must also contend with the aforementioned DUTY.

Despite these challenges, the Monolith continues to thrive and expand, cementing its position as the dominant power in the post-apocalyptic world. Its armies march forth, its scholars delve deeper into the secrets of the mutated world, and its citizens enjoy a level of safety and stability.

Prologue
Once, the zone was a place like any other, a remote corner of the world, it finds itself in a massive forest near the Kartek Fjellheim border, surrounded by again, dense forests and rolling hills. The people who lived there were simple folk, who made a living by farming and fishing, or by working in the nearby mines. They went about their lives, raising their families, and tending to their communities, with no idea of the incredible events that would soon unfold.

It all began with strange sightings and rumors of bizarre lights in the sky. At first, people brushed it off as a trick of the light, or a hoax perpetuated by local children. But as the sightings became more frequent, and the rumors spread, people started to take notice. Some became fearful, others excited.

Then, one day, the first emission occurred. No one knows what caused it, or it may appear like that on the surface. The reason for the first Emission is a rather widespread knowlage amongst the DUTY and Monolith leadership, as one way or another both were strongly tied to the event but it was as if the sky itself was tearing apart, revealing a glimpse of another world beyond. The people who witnessed it and managed to survive the event without their brain being melted were changed forever, as they were infused with strange powers and abilities. Some became stronger, others faster, still others could sense things beyond the reach of normal human perception.

As news of the emission spread, people flocked to the zone, drawn by the promise of riches and power. They came from all over the world, eager to stake their claim and to explore the mysterious new world that had been revealed to them.

At first, the zone was a place of excitement and adventure, as the Stalkers (which are people who enter the zone without permission under the threat of death by local authorites of Kartek or Fjellheim) roamed its forests and hills, searching for artifacts and treasures it brought with itself. But it was not long before the zone began to change. It became more dangerous, as mutated creatures emerged from the shadows, and strange anomalies began to appear. The air grew thick with radiation and constant noticeable fallout from the sky, and the earth trembled with strange energies.

Noosphere and Nooenergy
"The Monolith was created when a powerful explosion of the "Nooenergy" created an event commonly known as "The emission". It made us see the truth and a part of the oppression DUTY bestowed upon us. We follow the truth of the Monolith as the stone that can grant you wishes and will do so to it's most entrusted members." - A high ranking Monolith official.

Noosphere refers to the sphere of human thought and culture that has formed around the realms of Rathnir and Eldham. It is a theoretical construct that suggests that consciousness of all sentient life forms in both of the realms, alongside intellectual activity, have created a sort of "atmosphere" around the planet, in much the same way that the biosphere encompasses all life in the realms. The Noosphere is associated with the mysterious, otherworldly "Zone" created by an extraterrestrial visit, where the laws of physics are said to be different and strange events occur.
