<p>Heavy rain falls from polluted clouds, clanking sounds over the brass and steel pipework spreading from one building to another. Casting its shadow over the rundown districts is the massive shape of an industrial chimney, the factory below draining energy and power from the depths of this Techno Fantasy world.</p>
<h1>Techno Fantasy Elements</h1>
<section>
<h2>TECHNO FANTASY LOCATIONS</h2>
<p>Techno fantasy locations often take the form of a literal "above and below," where the shining palaces of the wealthy steal the very sun from the vast majority of the people who struggle daily in the slums below. Outside the cities lies a barren world drained of all life and beauty, turned grey by human greed.</p>
</section>
<h2>TECHNO FANTASY THEMES AND PROTAGONISTS</h2>
<p>Stories unfolding in a techno fantasy world are often darker and more serious in tone; they revolve around the exploitation of natural resources, unchecked and ruthless scientific experimentation, and abuse of power from the wealthy elite.</p>
<p>Their protagonists are often people fighting against injustice:</p>
<ul>
<li>The scarred hero who had everything taken from her by the elite.</li>
<li>The last survivor from a line of magic users who sought harmony with the world.</li>
<li>The former mercenary disgusted by his past actions.</li>
<li>The failed experiment who was abandoned by their cold-hearted creator.</li>
<li>The wealthy heir who realized her prosperity was built upon the ruin of others.</li>
</ul>
<p>Together, they engage a desperate struggle against those few who rule the world and the hearts of its people.</p>
<section>
<h2>TECHNO FANTASY MAGIC</h2>
<p>In a techno fantasy world, magic has largely been claimed by technology and turned into yet another source of power, wealth, and warfare supremacy. The stream of souls has been gravely wounded and corrupted, and the original ways of magic were forgotten or — more likely — suppressed.</p>

<h2>TECHNO FANTASY ANTAGONISTS</h2>
<p>The antagonists of a techno fantasy world should represent the darkness of modern society and the ruthlessness of industry and exploitation. Wealthy and influential, they simultaneously base their authority on brute military force and stolen magic or artifacts. But perhaps their most insidious quality is that many people still see them as ideal leaders and miraculously self-made saviors, and are willing to be exploited and oppressed every day in the vain hope of gaining their favor. Left unchecked, their egotistical ambitions will lead to magical cataclysms or full-scale war.</p>
