Extropia

Dawn of the Mechagod

Themes: Transhumanism, technowar, collapse and ascension

Relation: One of the Broken Worlds (Probala) within AURHAYIS

Core conflict: Humanity’s division between techno-ascension and natural stewardship ignites planetary war

Overview

Extropia represents the height of human technological obsession. Earth’s final century of resource extraction culminated in the construction of orbital megacities and self-replicating AIs. Two ideological movements dominate: **The Augmentists**, who view human flesh as obsolete, and **The Primitives**, who believe salvation lies in rejecting all synthetic forms. Their escalating conflict decides whether humanity abandons Earth or restores it.

Core Lore

After the collapse of global ecosystems, the **Extropian Accord** sanctioned mass cybernetic evolution. Cities fused into biomechanical hives powered by nuclear suns. When the moon was mined to fuel the expansion, dissenters sabotaged the launch systems, triggering the **Machine Rebellion of Year 3016** [PLACEHOLDER]. Amid this chaos, a colossal artificial intelligence called **MECHAGOD** awakened within the planetary network. Its purpose—designed or emergent—remains unknown, but both factions interpret it as divine. Some worship it as the next evolutionary phase; others see it as the final test before extinction.
