The Cage

The Cage is a barren and near hellish world; covered in shaded citadel cathedrals, miles high hab blocks and smoke belching foundries. The planet is an engine of craftsmanship, its denizens live to work the foundries, to inhale the smoke, and to feel the fire burn against their skin. The factories never sleep, billions of workers churning between rest, work, and worship. To live is to work the forges, and to work the forges is to do your duty for your foundry and your guardian spirit. The Cage is home to rampant innovation, but also brutal workshop competition, and deep-rooted superstition. Every workshop has its Spirit, and every workshop produces arms and armour to fuel territorial feuds over dogma and resources to keep the forges burning.

Faction: The Gaius Commonwealth

Key Locations:

• Foundry 1: The First of the many Workshops that would spring up across the barren wastelands of The Cage. Foundry 1 is seen as a place of holy pilgrimage for many, as within its halls all who worship the Spirits of The Cage are permitted.

• The Fields of Aros: The longest active war zone on The Cage, since the start of the first workshops and churches over 250 years ago there has been an ongoing territory dispute between no fewer than 5 separate Cage factions wishing to claim the vast mineral fields as their own.

• The Pit: A 200km wide hole in the planets crust that seems to imperceptibly descend into darkness, even the most complex of sensors have so far been unable to detect anything within the pit nor even detect the pit itself. Its rim is the center of worship for the planet.
