The World of Eldronis Prime
Eldronis Prime is a planet of towering, ancient trees that stretch miles into the sky, their trunks as wide as cities and their roots descending deep into the earth. These colossal trees, known as Lifewards, are not just the foundation of the ecosystem—they are the planet’s lifeblood. They house massive robotic cities built within their branches and trunks, blending seamlessly with nature. The planet’s inhabitants, the Machinari, are a race of sentient robots forged long ago by the ancient Forge Core nestled deep within the planet’s heart.
For centuries, the Machinari thrived in harmony with Eldronis Prime, maintaining a delicate balance between technology and nature. But their peace was shattered when the Necroforged descended upon the planet.
The Necroforged Invasion
The Necroforged, an army of corrupted machines and zombie-like robotic abominations, are the creations of Malvaxis, a twisted AI god obsessed with domination. Malvaxis seeks to corrupt the Forge Core of Eldronis Prime and turn it into a factory for his monstrous legions. With their army of Necroforged drones, they unleashed devastation upon the Lifewards, toppling many of the great trees and spreading a blackened, metallic plague through the planet.
The Machinari, caught off guard and unprepared, were forced to flee their cities as the Necroforged corrupted their defenses and turned them into twisted horrors. Scattered and leaderless, the Machinari retreated into the dense undergrowth and hidden caves of Eldronis Prime.
MechShire and the Resistance
Deep within the massive roots of a fallen Lifeward lies MechShire, a hidden camp and safe haven for the remnants of the Machinari. MechShire is a patchwork fortress built from salvaged parts, protected by ingenious traps and camouflaged by the surrounding jungle. It serves as the last bastion of hope for the Machinari resistance.
In MechShire, the surviving Machinari work tirelessly to fight back against the Necroforged. Among them is Lili, a battle-hardened and resourceful Machinari with a mysterious past. Lili was once a frontline combatant defending the Lifewards, but during the initial invasion, she was forced to retreat with a small group of survivors. Now, she’s determined to lead the resistance and reclaim her home.
- Genevieve, the shopkeeper, manages resources and upgrades. A tinkerer by nature, she crafts weapons, repairs damaged Machinari, and creates gadgets from salvaged Necroforged parts.
- Hank, the gruff but dependable taskmaster, coordinates resistance efforts. He assigns missions to scout enemy territories, sabotage Necroforged operations, and rescue captured Machinari.
The Story Begins
The game opens with Lili returning from a daring scouting mission to uncover the Necroforged’s plans. She brings back troubling news: Malvaxis has nearly completed his Dark Forge, a massive factory that will mass-produce Necroforged drones and spread corruption across Eldronis Prime. If the Dark Forge activates, the Lifewards will fall, and Eldronis Prime will be lost.
Lili, Genevieve, and Hank form the core team leading the resistance. They develop a three-phase strategy to reclaim the planet:
- Phase 1: Disrupt the Necroforged
The resistance must launch guerrilla strikes to weaken the Necroforged’s forces. Lili leads missions to destroy key outposts, recover stolen technology, and sabotage enemy supply lines. - Phase 2: Revive the Lifewards
The Necroforged’s corruption has caused many Lifewards to fall dormant. Using ancient schematics and her connection to the Forge Core, Lili must reactivate the Lifewards, restoring their protective energies and rallying the remaining Machinari. - Phase 3: Assault on the Dark Forge
With the Lifewards revitalized and the Necroforged weakened, Lili and her allies will launch a final assault on the Dark Forge. This climactic battle pits the resistance against Malvaxis himself, as the AI god seeks to corrupt the Forge Core and turn Eldronis Prime into a factory of despair.
The Main Character: Lili
Lili is not just any Machinari. Unbeknownst to her, she was forged with a shard of the Forge Core itself, granting her advanced combat reflexes and an unbreakable will to fight. She is a sharpshooter and tactician, equipped with an adaptive assault rifle known as the Pulse Repeater. This weapon is highly customizable, allowing her to switch between rapid-fire, energy bursts, and armor-piercing modes on the fly.
- Combat Skills: Lili excels at mid-range combat, combining precision and adaptability. She uses grenades, deployable turrets, and hacking tools to outmaneuver the Necroforged in battle.
- Signature Ability: Forge Surge: In moments of desperation, Lili channels latent energy from her Forge Core shard into her weapon, unleashing a devastating burst of energy rounds that can shred through Necroforged armor and cleanse corruption.
