Terramor: The Earth Is Hungry

Centuries ago, the Primordial Earth Goddess was slaughtered, her petrified body becoming the continent of Terramor. The soil itself is infused with dormant, divine magic, but it only awakens when nourished by blood. The richer and more ancient the bloodline, the more devastating the terraforming magic unlocked. The Crimson Empire maintains power through state-sanctioned "Harvests"—forced blood donations from the lower classes to keep the capital's floating stone fortresses aloft and the soil fertile. But the earth is becoming addicted. It requires increasingly larger sacrifices to yield crops, leading to widespread famine, tectonic instability, and brewing rebellion. During a routine execution in a border town, a drop of rebel blood hits a long-dormant leyline, causing a mountain range to physically rise up and destroy an Imperial fleet. The earth isn't just accepting the blood anymore—it's starting to wake up, and it's hungry.
