Here's an idea I've had for a Dungeon Keeper RPG:
- The Keepers have slumbered for centuries since The defeated them.
- As of the present day, the Continent of Marnus (The size of South America) is divided between four major powers.
- The Republic of Marnus (A military dictatorship in all but name, and the most powerful nation on Marnus. Think of a mixture of Pinochet's Chile and Post-1991 Russia)
- Pountren (A Parliamentary Democracy more in line with 1910s Britain)
- The Kingdom of Linada (A Constitutional Monarchy along the lines of pre-WW1 Germany and modern Holland)
- Nirex State (Fascist State along the lines of Mussolini Italy, and the weakest nation on Marnus)
- Tech is somewhere between 1970s/90s. However, nukes are rare in this setting.
Anyway, Main story:
- 681 P.A. (Post. Avatar)
- Cold War between Marnus and Pountren/Lianda boils over and goes into their equivalent of WW3
- However, a Marnian nuclear strike on Pountren positions causes the Dungeon Keepers to stir from their sleep.
- as the war progresses on, and the main powers are weakned, the Keepers begin to emerge and claim the continent of Marnus as their own.
