History Fanfic / AgeOfStrife

* BlackAndGreyMorality: Greengraft isn't above enslaving captured raiders or engaging in sabotage, but it's foes include cannibalistic barbarians, psychotic aliens, and crazed cultists.

* DeathWorld: The official classification of Dandriss. The "trees" of Dandriss are skyscraper sized, consume metal to reinforce their bark, and wield deadly bio-warfare attacks to clear space for their offspring. Anyone not sheltered by the Adamantium cities is likely to be hacked apart by leaves during a windstorm or blown up by the grenade fruit, and forest fires are continent wide infernos that force even the city dwellers to lock down.

* AscendedMeme: The players liked to joke that any rolls of 9 or 99 were the result intervention from Tzeentch to make things more interesting, especially since several such crits gave the players access to forbidden knowledge or sorcery. In the final battle against
[[spoiler: the exalted Great Unclean One]], Tzeentch unambiguously gives direct assistance to Mirande, by amplifying her Burning Blood mutation and sharing it with the biomancy construct she controlled.

* AliensAreBastards: The Eldar see humanity as little more than insects to either ignore or squash for fun.
** Dia and Mirande seem to have graduated to the level of interesting curiosities, which is far, far worse when the pre-Fall Eldar are around.

* AfterTheEnd:The world is already devastated by the time the quest starts.

* ArchaeologicalArmsRace: In the "post-apocalyptic" varient,salvaged technology can shift the balance of power dramatically, and much of Greengraft's supremacy came from it's early recovery of a universal assembly machine with weapon STC patterns in it.
