	Autumn chronicles a land where near-modern technology and mystic energies coexist, each one finding itself weaponized by the five great political spheres of Harmony: The pentad powers. The Pentad do not fight over race, hate, or bloodlust; they fight to reclaim their world from the darkness that the new age has brought. The ill-understood aetheric energies have found a resurgence in these times, giving undeniable power and recognition to many fringe-sciences and those who can "shape" these energies with their bodies. Many see aetheric techniques and abilities to be a recourse from the destructive path of technology, spawning many luddite movements that have had a measurable impact on the proliferation of technology.

	Autumn is a world where nine human species live amongst each other. They coexist, more or less, in many countries with differences solved using underhanded politics and/or the occasional drawn-out war. Presently, the main five political spheres are at a stand-off. The Imperial powers of the "Aclarado" are the remnants of the old kingdoms, and as such they adhere to the old concept of conquering regions and creating subservient states to maintain the homeland. To oppose this old doctrine is the new concept of "Centralism". Centralism was created by Gallian General Anthony Hecht, who's many years of military campaigns and occupations prompted him to write his manifesto. Translated as "Centralism of the New Age", Hecht discusses the importance of military integration into a society, as well as economic autonomy through industrialization. These two powers have been at a stand-off for decades, and are considered the superpowers of the western hemisphere.		Autumn is a world where nine human species live amongst each other.

	To the east is the Dominion and the Kievan pact. The Dominion alliance of rogue states that have been all but shunned by foreign powers. The Dominion lacks a specific political doctrine, but more often than not it is a tyrannical, aristocratic government formed around a feudal system. Dominion states are likely to be pro-slave and isolationist, with a tendency to refuse diplomacy with non-Dominion nations. The fourth power is the Kievan Pact, created to maintain the power of the Pereginus Kingdom created after the Great Conquest that spread their race across the globe. It is very diverse, being divided by smaller political lines. Like the Dominion, Kievan governments range from state to state, but most are lead by a king or czar.

	The final faction is the Cabal, a circle of rebels, warlords, and marauders. The Cabal is a mishmash of para-military organizations united by their need to fight the world's nations and superpowers. The lesser species are common members of the Cabal, often working in tandem with rebels to end opposing governments. Their forces and lands very, but are often poorly equipped and rely on mobility, stealth, and ambush to combat superior forces. The shadowy nature of the Cabal allows many to make secret dealing with them. Cabal units were involved in the invasion of Siev by the Confederates. Special "Overcast" Confederate units were teamed up with Immorti Askari to hunt royalty and flush insurgents.		The final faction is the Cabal, a circle of rebels, warlords, and marauders.

	== The Setting ==		== The Setting ==
	~~Autumn~~ is a ~~tabletop wargame set in a Para-Modern~~ world ~~where five powers battle for economic~~ and ~~cultural superiority using conventional firearms and the mysterious Aetheric energies. The game is built around 20mm models~~ and ~~uses ten-sided dice~~ to ~~calculate results, but in so far no physical models have been produced, instead paper proxies~~ are ~~used~~ in ~~current play tests~~. ~~Combining realistic and surreal weapons~~ of ~~war, Autumn is closer to Metal Gear Solid and The Red Star than~~ to ~~Warmachine or Warhammer. The un-cinematic system uses a one roll system and templates for most checks~~, ~~with~~ a ~~"trait" system providing a range of abilities and limitations. Armor plays a small part in defense, rather you must use cover and suppression fire~~ to ~~button enemies~~ when ~~assaulting. A unique "strike" system allows officers to summon powerful attacks to vaporize any target, artillery and airstrikes can reduce~~ an ~~elite unit to ash without difficulty; properly representing~~ the ~~modern battlefield~~. ~~At its core, Autumn uses modern combat~~ as ~~its inspiration but makes a few breaks from reality~~, such ~~as nearly bulletproof super-heavy infantry and~~ the ~~introduction~~ of ~~"aether"~~, a ~~nearly invisible gaseous element~~. ~~Also blatant fiction is~~ the ~~"resection" (also known as splicing or patching)~~which ~~allows organs to be flawlessly grafted or repaired using foreign cells~~, ~~recently dead tissue~~, ~~or artificial fibers~~.		Harmony is a world beyond earth, to us they are an indefinable time and distance away from our lands, and to them they are the only life in the galaxy. The people of Harmony have become accustomed to death, a deadly nine week war brought the world to its knees when the Pentad Powers launched a preemptive war against the Great Babylon; an action spawned by fear that their future would become a trivial matter for the endlessly growing superstate. The aftermath of this even caused massive famines and natural disasters as Babylonian exports and maintenance evaporated, such matters doesn't concern the new regime of states. The new mentality has ended much humanitarian sensibilities among the population, leaving the violent and paranoid ways of the feudal period to make a strong return in the new generations. This has shaped the method in which governance is administered, with surviving villages being dispersed in distant isolated pockets; many rural folk have only the vaguest idea of their own rulers, let alone the outside world.

			The changed outlook of the populace reflects the Harmony's natural limitations. Harmony's surface area is far greater than our own, stretching logistics as supply lines stretch into the deep wilderness; lands that have never been properly mapped or civilized. The lack of plentiful petroleum has also changed the ways that people can travel. Hand drawn carts and horses remain the choice of transportation for most, with cars being targeted by the large populations of forest bandits that have arisen after the Great War. Fuel, perhaps the most vital resource, competes with food on the fields. It is often said that a full tank requires an empty stomach.
