Ward Cities
Humanity's answer to collapse: dense, managed, defended settlements where logistics, filtration, governance, and force keep civilization functioning.
Setting
The World of Ash & Aegis
A setting built around survival behind walls, industry beyond them, and the things that make both necessary.
Badlands
Open, dangerous territory where Chimera pressure, salvage economies, extraction, and military action overlap.
Greylands
The unstable in-between: fortified remnants, fringe settlements, work camps, local enclaves, and places that survive only conditionally.
Frames & RIGs
The setting's giant machines are not decoration. They are a practical answer to scale, threat, distance, and survival outside secure walls.
Corporate Power
Corporations are not just brands. They are logistics chains, manufacturers, infrastructure owners, and sometimes governments by another name.
Operational Tone
Ash & Aegis works best when it feels grounded: contracts, risk, supply, damage, salvage, bad choices, and hard-won survivals.
