<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.

<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.

<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.
