<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.

<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.
