Endless Legend is a 4X strategy game by Amplitude Studios set on the planet of Auriga. It's also a game with awesome, if vague, lore. It has everything a cliché setting would have, but presents it in a manner that makes everything seem new and amazing. Like Eberron. Auriga was a laboratory of Precursor race of Endless, who left their creations (like magic nanomachines, driders, crazed god-robots, gardens of impossibly huge or burning trees, not!tyranids, ruins, dungeons and uplifted dragons) all over the place. It had some kind of weather control that used to keep the climate optimal, but in the timeframe of the game it got wonky, and in a thousand years Auriga will freeze over. Endgame of all factions is fucking off on a spaceship before that occurs.
Factions of Endless Legend
Wild Walkers
Your usual wood elves that have HUGE ears with Native American vibe... that used their druidic talents of animal empathy and stone and wood-shaping to build a fucking awesome industry. Their talents revolve around The Sharing - animal empathy that they can use to subdue animals, see through their eyes, feel their emotion, or turn into them.
Broken Lords
They are vampire aristocracy combined with Rubric Marines: they are spirits encased in armor that have to eat souls or consume Dust to survive. Before the incident that made them abandon flesh, they were either mutated Concrete Endless or humans of the Roving Clans.
Ardent Mages
Originally one of Roving Clans, they are Rage mages of the setting. They derive power from disassociating mind with body (that remind you of someone, eh?) by going through pain and suffering. BDSM wizards are always glad to sacrifice a limb or two for more power and knowledge.
Vaulters
The "main character" of the series. People that crashed a spaceship on Auriga and lived through numerous cataclysms in underground vaults and tunnels, those created by the Endless or newly dug. Vaulters forgot most of their technology, and so they run around in power armor and armed with crossbows. They worship science and metal. They experimented on one of their clans and expelled it when it revolted, thus creating another faction - The Forgotten.
Cultists of Eternal End
Two robots (The Queen and The Unspoken) created by the Endless that weren't shut down properly and went mad from waiting millennia in the darkness. They now hate everything the Endless created and strive to bring Eternal End on all of the Auriga. They build up only one city and from there send preachers, who use charisma and mind control to turn less civilised minor factions into zealous mobs, eager to serve the Queen and to destroy her enemies.
Drakken
A race of skulky lizardmen that was uplifted by Endless into huge, proud and obedient dragons to serve as stewards of Auriga and fend off the dumbass Allayi. They are diplomancers of the setting: they have the most influence on international affairs, contacts with everyone from the turn 1, and their diplomacy does work as mind control.
Necrophages
Another species native to Auriga, uplifted by the Endless as well. Carnivorous locusts with low intelligence and iron guts, the Necrophages can't be at peace with anyone and get food from killing enemy units. They carry disease on their blades and jaws, and they are coming to your neighborhood to lay eggs in your sorry hind-leg ass.
Roving Clans
Former relatives (or allies?) of Broken Lords, they are nomadic traders that control the market of Auriga and can exclude anyone they dislike from using it. While being nomadic, they still manage to have cities, carried on backs of giant Setseke beetles.
Allayi
Fluffy shifter bat-moths and natives of Auriga, and, possibly, creators of The Guardians. They get more powerful in winter, while everyone else gets weaker.
Minor factions
Less ambitious and less technologically and culturally advanced than major factions. Their role is to pester major factions with wandering units when unpacified and provide work force, nice benefits and unit designs when pacified and assimilated.
- Ceratan - driders
- Bos - centaurs
- Hurnas - inuit orcs
- Kazanji - fire worshippers who look like demons
- Eyeless Ones - nice psionic Giger aliens
- Sisters of Mercy - warrior cleric nobles
- Delvers - barbaric dwarves
- Jotus - two-headed ADHD gnolls
- Urces - ogres who value sheep highly
- Silics - ancient crystal men
- Nidya - bird people
- Haunts - angry AIs with greatswords
- Geldirus - big sabertooth wolves
- Gauran - fluffy minotaurs
- Erycis - hydras
- Dorgeshi - offshoot of Roving Clans
Endless Legend on tabletop
Anons attempted to create some homebrew tools to play in this setting on tabletop, but, since lore is quite piece-by-piece, it's slightly troublesome.
