Spires of ash and gold.

In the year 2175, humanity's greatest triumph became its deepest curse. The invention of Telomine—a miraculous serum that halts aging and grants immortality—ushered in an era of eternal life, but at a terrible cost. As Earth's population exploded, sprawling hive cities swallowed the planet, their gilded spires housing the immortal elite while the mortal masses toiled in smog-choked slums below. The Terran Authority, born from the ashes of colonization efforts, now rules with an iron fist, rationing Telomine to the wealthy Spire-Born and crushing dissent. Amid this divide, radical factions like the Ephemerals wage holy war against the "abomination" of endless life, igniting a powder keg of rebellion that threatens to unravel the fragile order of the stars.
