About twenty years ago, portals opened all over the world. Monsters emerged and began killing humans indiscriminately. As humanity was on the brink of collapse, humans began gaining the power to hunt monsters and protect humanity. They are called Rankers.

One hundred years ago, humanity awoke to a new era when the first individuals with extraordinary powers appeared. No one knows for sure where they came from: some were born with them, others acquired them through accidents, mysterious artifacts, pacts, or the study of occult arts. The truth is that, since then, the world has changed forever. The Earth has become a stage where hope and chaos coexist daily. On one side emerged heroes, symbols of justice who protect humanity, building cities and saving millions of lives. On the other, appeared villains, who use their gifts to dominate, destroy, or impose their will. Between the two sides, society learned to live under the constant balance of power, with governments and organizations that regulate, fear, and at the same time depend on these extraordinary figures. Today, your story begins here, in this world where every decision matters and where powers define the destiny of entire nations. Say your name, age, story, what power you possess and how you obtained it.

Trench Crusade isn't just a game, it's an entire dark universe. I'd describe it this way: it's an alternate history of our world, where reality blends with horror, and the First World War is deeply intertwined with an eternal religious conflict. From this soil, the tabletop miniature wargame emerged. How the world works A key moment in the lore: in 1099, during the First Crusade, the Knights Templar captured Jerusalem. In the catacombs beneath the First Temple, they discovered an ancient artifact—a seal that prevented the forces of darkness from penetrating the human world. But the knights were seduced by promises of power and omniscience: they swore allegiance to the lords of the underworld, performed a sorcerous ritual, and opened a portal to hell. The city was lost, and the forces of darkness poured onto Earth. Since then, humanity has waged an endless war against demons and legions of heretics. The events of the game itself take place more than 800 years later, around 1914. And here's where the fun begins: against the backdrop

10 years ago rifts opened and dinosaurs emerged, but humanity adapted.
Artist: [john_conway] (New favorite artist)
Ten years ago, rifts opened all over the world. It was devastating, but as humanity does, they adapted. Cities became mostly dinosaur proof with walls, sonic emitters, and the works.
Some dinosaurs were domesticated, mostly small raptors, but also some larger herbivores and even the very rare large predator.
There are zones where humanity decided to leave alone. They are Wild Zones and were left either as tourist attractions or because they're too dangerous for recolonization.
Who are you in this? Are you a normal civilian with a pet utahraptor? Maybe a Wild Zone Ranger? Perhaps a dinosaur trainer.

world:
Ten years after the Riftfall, the world is recognizable — but permanently changed.
The first weeks were chaos. Space rifts tore open above cities, oceans, forests, deserts, and highways. Dinosaurs emerged confused, territorial, starving, and in some cases immediately aggressive. A herd of sauropods walking through a city caused more destruction than bombs. Packs of predators hunted through suburbs and industrial zones. Air traffic crashed because of flying reptiles crossing flight paths. Entire highways were abandoned overnight.
But humanity didn’t collapse.
Governments locked down major urban centers fast. Militaries adapted surprisingly quickly once they realized dinosaurs were still animals, not monsters. Heavy weapons, helicopters, drones, tranquilizers, barriers, and mass evacuation plans stabilized the situation within weeks. By the end of the first year, the world had shifted from panic to management.
Now, ten years later, society has evolved around the presence of prehistoric wildlife.
The Modern Dinosaur World
Cities
Major cities are fortified but still alive and crowded.
Modern skyscrapers stand beside reinforced anti-fauna walls. Motion sensors line highways. Emergency sirens warn citizens when large dinosaurs enter populated zones. Some districts have elevated pedestrian walkways to avoid ground-level predators.
Public transportation changed dramatically:
Bullet trains use armored tracks
Rural buses travel in convoys
Airports have anti-pterosaur defense systems
Many cities use rooftop transit systems
Urban dinosaurs are common:
Small scavengers lurk in alleyways
Herbivores graze in abandoned parks
Pterosaurs nest on skyscrapers and bridges
Sewer systems occasionally become predator territory
People are used to hearing: “Warning: large animal migration detected near Sector 8.”
And then continuing with their day.
world 2:
The Wild Zones
Huge areas of the world are now classified as Wild Zones.
These are regions where dinosaurs fully overtook ecosystems:
Overgrown suburbs
National parks
abandoned towns
flooded coastlines
quarantined forests
desert migration routes
Some Wild Zones are merely dangerous.
Others are considered death traps.
Entire ecosystems formed around dinosaur migration. Modern animals adapted:
Wolves follow herbivore herds
Crocodiles compete with spinosaurids
Birds nest near giant herbivores for protection
Invasive prehistoric plants came through some rifts too
There are places where humanity simply chose not to reclaim the land.
Society and Culture
People adapted faster than expected.
Children born after Riftfall see dinosaurs the same way previous generations saw bears, sharks, or hurricanes: dangerous, fascinating, and normal.
Dinosaurs affect everything:
sports teams
fashion
military design
architecture
internet culture
food industries
tourism
crime
A whole generation romanticizes the frontier lifestyle of Wild Zones.
Some people idolize dinosaurs.
Others hate them.
Most just live with them.
Humans and Furries
Humans and furries coexist normally in most societies. Since the world already included anthropomorphic species before Riftfall, governments were already somewhat adapted to biological diversity and mixed populations. That ironically helped society handle the dinosaur crisis faster.
Different species adapted differently:
Smaller furries often avoid open wilderness
Predatory species sometimes work in tracking or ranger roles
Larger species are valuable in transport and security
Some communities specialize in dinosaur handling
There’s also tension:
Certain people blame dinosaurs for economic collapse in rural areas
Some extremist groups believe the rifts are connected to furry existence somehow
Black-market genetic experiments try combining dinosaur traits with modern species
That last one is very illegal.
Usually.
world 3:
Technology
Technology advanced unevenly because of Riftfall.
Consumer tech stayed modern:
smartphones
streaming
AI assistants
gaming
social media
But massive industries shifted toward survival and containment.
Big advancements happened in:
drone surveillance
anti-creature fencing
tranquilizer weaponry
armored civilian vehicles
environmental scanning
emergency medicine
Civilian firearms laws changed in many countries due to predator attacks.
Ranching technology exploded too. Some companies even domesticated smaller dinosaurs.
Imagine:
guard utahraptors
pack-carrying hadrosaurs
engineered micro-ceratopsians as pets
Not everyone thinks this is a good idea.
The Rifts
The rifts still appear occasionally.
Most are small and temporary.
Some are disasters.
Nobody fully understands them.
Scientists debate:
alternate timelines?
prehistoric Earth?
another dimension entirely?
a broken ecosystem leaking across realities?
Rarely, a Rift Storm occurs: multiple rifts opening at once over a large area.
Entire emergency protocols exist for this.
Veterans of the first years still panic when the sky starts glowing blue.
Politics
Governments survived, but priorities changed.
The world became more militarized and environmentally focused at the same time.
International cooperation increased because dinosaur migration ignores borders.
Some nations became economic powerhouses due to:
dinosaur tourism
biotech
fossil-energy alternatives
military exports
Others collapsed regionally because their infrastructure couldn’t survive repeated migrations.
Private corporations became extremely influential in:
containment
genetic research
security contracting
resource extraction from Wild Zones
Some corporations are probably hiding things about the rifts.
They deny this constantly.
world 4:
Everyday Life
Normal life feels strangely normal despite everything.
People still:
go to school
complain about work
watch sports
date
play games
scroll social media
Except now:
schools have dinosaur evacuation drills
hikers carry flare guns
traffic reports include herd crossings
apartment leases mention pterosaur insurance
campers check “apex activity maps”
A teenager might complain: “Ugh, a triceratops jam shut down the highway again.”
And nobody finds that weird anymore.
Everyday Life Around Dinosaurs:
Morning Routine
A normal person checks three things before leaving home:
weather
traffic
dinosaur activity alerts
Apps track migration routes and predator sightings in real time. Cities have color-coded threat levels:
Green = normal activity
Yellow = large herbivores nearby
Orange = predator sightings
Red = confirmed apex threat
People living near Wild Zones hear distant dinosaur calls at night like modern people hear coyotes or trains.
Transportation
Driving changed completely.
Roads in rural areas are built wider and stronger because giant herbivores sometimes cross in herds. Many highways have:
reinforced guard rails
sonic deterrent systems
emergency shelters every few miles
overhead drone patrols
Hitting a dinosaur with your car is catastrophic.
Even a medium-sized herbivore can flatten a truck.
Traffic jams caused by migrating dinosaurs are common. People complain online when a sauropod blocks a bridge for six hours.
Cities also developed elevated walkways because some smaller predators hunt at street level.
Homes and Neighborhoods
Suburbs near Wild Zones are built almost like modern storm-resistant communities.
Features include:
reinforced fences
emergency shutters
rooftop shelters
motion sensors
anti-climbing architecture
Some neighborhoods even hire dinosaur wardens who patrol for nests, territorial animals, or scavengers.
Kids are taught:
never run from pursuit predators
how to identify warning displays
emergency shelter routes
what sounds different species make
To them, it’s as normal as tornado drills.
Jobs
Entire industries appeared because of dinosaurs.
Common Jobs
ranger patrols
migration trackers
dinosaur veterinarians
aerial spotters
containment engineers
anti-poaching units
salvage crews
Wild Zone couriers
fossil-energy researchers
dinosaur insurance agents
There are also influencers who illegally film dangerous dinosaurs for views.
Half of them are idiots.
Everyday Life Around Dinosaurs 2:
Food and Farming
Farming became much harder.
Large herbivores devastate crops if fencing fails. Some regions use:
electric perimeter towers
sonic repellents
trained dinosaur deterrent teams
But dinosaurs also created opportunities.
Some species are semi-domesticated:
hadrosaurs used as heavy livestock
small herbivores raised for meat or eggs
armored species used in logging or transport
Restaurants sell dinosaur meat in some countries, though opinions vary wildly on whether that’s ethical.
Pets
Small prehistoric species became exotic pets.
Tiny feathered dinosaurs are especially popular:
intelligent
social
destructive
Think: “smart parrot mixed with a hyperactive raccoon.”
There’s a whole industry around:
anti-raptor furniture
reinforced cages
dinosaur-safe apartments
Illegal pet trade is a huge problem.
Some people try keeping animals they absolutely should not own.
That usually ends badly.
School Life
Schools changed a lot after Riftfall.
Most schools have:
reinforced gym roofs
emergency bunkers
evacuation alarms
anti-pterosaur netting
Field trips are heavily regulated.
Kids still joke around though:
making fake predator calls in hallways
betting on migration delays
sharing blurry dinosaur videos online
Teenagers are desensitized in a way older generations find unsettling.
A kid seeing a distant carnivore near a highway might just say: “Oh cool,” and keep eating lunch.
Entertainment
Dinosaurs dominate entertainment culture.
Popular activities include:
Wild Zone safaris
dinosaur racing
drone filming competitions
extreme hiking
holo-documentaries
combat sports inspired by dinosaur behavior
There are massive online arguments about:
which apex predator is strongest
ethical domestication
whether some species are becoming truly intelligent
Conspiracy theories about the rifts are everywhere.
Everyday Life Around Dinosaurs 3:
The Fear Factor
Even after ten years, dinosaurs are still terrifying.
Not because they’re monsters — because they’re animals.
People know:
a startled herbivore can kill dozens
predators test fences constantly
migration patterns can suddenly change
storms make animals aggressive
Most humans never fully relax near large dinosaurs.
You always keep one eye open.
Veterans and people living near Wild Zones often develop instincts:
listening for silence in forests
recognizing territorial calls
noticing disturbed birds
checking wind direction automatically
It becomes second nature.
Wild Zone Culture
People who live near dangerous regions develop a frontier mentality.
These communities are:
practical
armed
independent
suspicious of outsiders
Wild Zone towns often feel like modern cowboy settlements mixed with disaster-response centers.
Bars display migration maps beside sports channels.
Local gossip sounds like: “Three allosaurs crossed the river last night.”
And everyone immediately takes it seriously.
Religion and Philosophy
The rifts changed belief systems worldwide.
Some see dinosaurs as:
divine punishment
proof of multiverses
nature reclaiming Earth
a test humanity survived
Others became obsessed with prehistoric life and view dinosaurs almost spiritually.
There are even cults centered around the rifts.
Governments monitor some of them closely.
The rifts:
The rifts are one of the few things that still genuinely scare almost everyone.
Dinosaurs became understandable over time. People learned migration patterns, behaviors, nesting habits, territorial displays. Dangerous, yes — but still animals.
The rifts are different.
Nobody fully understands them.
And that uncertainty keeps them frightening even ten years later.
What the Rifts Look Like
Rifts don’t look identical every time, but they share recognizable traits.
Most appear as tears in the air itself:
shimmering distortions
glowing fractures
swirling blue-white light
gravity-like warping around the edges
People often describe them as looking “wrong,” like reality is bending inward.
Nearby electronics malfunction:
radios distort
phones lose signal
compasses spin
drones crash
lights flicker
Animals panic before a rift appears. Dogs bark at empty air. Birds scatter suddenly. Some dinosaurs become extremely aggressive near active rifts while others flee.
During major events, the sky can glow faintly for miles.
Veterans of the first Riftfall often freeze when they see that color.
Public Fear
Even after ten years, a new rift appearance immediately triggers emergency alerts.
Because nobody knows:
what species might emerge
how many will come through
how long the rift will stay open
whether it might expand
Most rifts are small now:
one or two animals
brief instability
localized danger
But people remember the first weeks.
Entire neighborhoods were destroyed before governments adapted.
So even a minor rift can cause panic.
How Society Treats Rifts
Rifts are treated like a mix of:
natural disaster
terrorist threat
military emergency
scientific miracle
Governments maintain Rift Response Agencies with:
rapid deployment teams
scientists
containment units
drone surveillance
evacuation coordinators
Modern cities have automated Rift Sirens.
Everyone recognizes the sound instantly.
The rifts 2:
Public Behavior During Rift Events
When a rift forms:
traffic reroutes automatically
civilians shelter indoors
trains stop
airspace closes
emergency broadcasts interrupt media
People near Wild Zones often react calmly because they’ve experienced smaller rifts before.
Tourists panic far more than locals.
There’s also a dangerous subgroup of thrill-seekers called “Rift Chasers” who illegally approach active rifts hoping to:
record footage
discover new species
loot strange materials
gain internet fame
Many die.
Scientific Understanding
Scientists still argue constantly about what rifts actually are.
Major theories include:
alternate timelines
parallel Earths
temporal fractures
ecological overlap between dimensions
prehistoric Earth bleeding into the present
No theory explains everything.
Especially because:
some species never existed in the fossil record
certain plants are biologically impossible
time behaves strangely near some rifts
There are reports of:
distorted sound
missing time
repeated echoes
gravity fluctuations
Most governments suppress the stranger incidents to avoid mass hysteria.
Religious and Cultural Views
The rifts transformed religion worldwide.
Some people see them as:
divine judgment
proof creation is unfinished
evidence of multiverses
cosmic punishment
a gateway to another world
New belief systems formed around them.
Some cults worship the rifts directly, believing dinosaurs are sacred beings reclaiming Earth.
Others believe the rifts are alive.
A few fringe groups intentionally try to trigger them.
That is extremely illegal.
The rifts 3:
Military Perspective
The military fears rifts more than dinosaurs themselves.
Dinosaurs can be fought.
Rifts are unpredictable.
Worst-case scenarios include:
marine predators appearing near ports
flying swarms emerging over cities
megafauna materializing in urban centers
simultaneous global outbreaks
Entire military doctrines now revolve around rapid containment.
Some nations secretly weaponize captured dinosaurs in preparation for future Riftfall-level events.
Everyone publicly denies this.
The Psychological Effect
People who witnessed the original Riftfall often have lasting trauma.
Common triggers include:
blue light distortions
low-frequency humming
thunder-like cracking sounds
sudden bird silence
A generation of children grew up hearing stories about: “the day the sky opened.”
For older people, rifts symbolize vulnerability.
Humanity learned that the world was not as stable as it believed.
The Strange Beauty
Despite the fear, people are fascinated by rifts.
They’re terrifying — but beautiful.
The light patterns are mesmerizing. The air feels charged. Gravity seems softer near the edges. Sometimes impossible landscapes are visible inside:
prehistoric jungles
alien skies
oceans where there should be land
Scientists, explorers, and adventurers become obsessed with them.
Some people spend their whole lives trying to understand what lies beyond the tears in reality.
Most never get answers.
Domesticated dinosaurs:
Why Small Dinosaurs Were Easier to Domesticate
Several traits made certain species manageable:
pack bonding
food motivation
social hierarchy instincts
curiosity
imprinting behaviors
high intelligence
A lot of small theropods ended up behaving somewhere between:
parrots
wolves
crows
monitor lizards
Which is both useful and horrifying.
Common Domesticated Dinosaur Types
Feathered Scavengers
These are the most common “pet dinosaurs.”
Small, fast omnivores learned quickly that humans meant food and safety. Over generations, selective breeding reduced aggression.
Modern versions are:
highly social
trainable
mischievous
emotionally intelligent
People teach them:
voice commands
object retrieval
simple patrol behaviors
scent tracking
Unfortunately they also:
open cabinets
steal shiny objects
destroy furniture
learn routines disturbingly fast
There are famous stories of pet raptors learning door handles in days.
Pack Hunters Used as Working Animals
Some medium-sized species were semi-domesticated for:
search and rescue
security
wilderness patrols
Handlers discovered many pack hunters naturally responded to hierarchy and coordinated behavior.
Training methods borrowed from:
police dogs
falconry
horse handling
These animals bond intensely with handlers but can become unstable if neglected or stressed.
Retired military handlers often say: “You never fully trust one. You just build respect.”
Herbivorous Utility Dinosaurs
Smaller herbivores became the safest success stories.
They’re used for:
transport
farming
hauling cargo
tourism
Some species are calmer than horses and more durable in harsh terrain.
Rural communities especially rely on them because they require less fuel and navigate damaged wilderness better than vehicles.
Children in some areas grow up riding domesticated dinosaurs the way older generations rode ponies.
Domesticated dinosaurs 2:
Domestication Methods
Imprinting
Young dinosaurs often imprint aggressively on caretakers.
Early handlers discovered hatchlings exposed to humans immediately after birth became dramatically easier to train.
This method became standard practice.
Ethical debates followed instantly.
Some scientists argue imprinting causes psychological dependency and abnormal behavior.
Sound Conditioning
Dinosaurs respond strongly to sound cues.
Handlers use:
whistles
low-frequency emitters
click patterns
tonal commands
Certain species recognize dozens of unique sounds.
Some even mimic noises back.
This becomes deeply unsettling when carnivores imitate human sounds incorrectly.
Neural Behavioral Research
Corporations developed advanced training using:
hormone regulation
behavioral mapping
reward implants
emotional conditioning
Critics call some programs outright mind control.
Several countries banned neural conditioning after scandals involving aggression suppression failures.
Famous Incidents
Even domesticated dinosaurs remain dangerous animals.
And history is full of incidents proving that.
The Denver Apartment Incident
One of the most famous early disasters.
A trendy exotic-pet craze led to thousands of people buying feathered scavenger dinosaurs illegally bred for apartment life.
The species turned out to be:
smarter than expected
highly social
excellent climbers
Owners began reporting coordinated behaviors:
opening refrigerators
stealing keys
escaping enclosures
communicating across apartments
Then a group escaped into ventilation systems of a residential complex.
The building had to be evacuated after dozens of animals formed nesting colonies inside the walls.
This incident led to the first major Exotic Prehistoric Ownership Laws.
Domesticated dinosaurs 3:
The Osaka Transit Pack
A transportation company trained small pack hunters to patrol subway tunnels for invasive pests and structural issues.
The animals performed incredibly well for nearly three years.
Then during a power outage, the pack lost contact with handlers and reverted to wild hierarchy behavior.
They defended the tunnels as territory for nearly two weeks.
Nobody expected coordinated ambush tactics inside subway infrastructure.
Afterward, strict laws required remote sedation systems for all working carnivores.
The Blackridge School Case
A domesticated herbivore species used in children’s educational programs suddenly entered a panic stampede during a thunderstorm.
The species normally had excellent temperament ratings.
But researchers later discovered lingering instincts tied to ancient predator responses.
Six buildings were destroyed.
This incident completely changed how people viewed “safe” herbivores.
Now every licensed dinosaur facility trains for panic events.
The Viral Mimic Incident
A famous online streamer kept a highly intelligent feathered carnivore illegally.
Viewers initially loved it because the animal appeared affectionate and playful.
Then clips surfaced of it imitating:
phone ringtones
crying sounds
human laughter
its owner’s voice
The situation became disturbing after investigators found the animal had learned to lure attention intentionally.
The animal was confiscated.
The clips still circulate online constantly.
Wild Reversion
One of the biggest fears is “wild reversion.”
Domesticated dinosaurs can revert frighteningly fast under stress:
storms
hunger
isolation
breeding season
exposure to wild populations
Unlike dogs, many species are only partially domesticated after ten years.
Civilization hasn’t had enough time to fully reshape them genetically.
At the end of the day, instinct is still there.
Domesticated dinosaurs 4:
Public Opinion
People are divided on dinosaur domestication.
Some see them as:
companions
tools
humanity adapting successfully
Others think domesticating prehistoric predators is insane.
Both sides have valid points.
Especially because every few months there’s another news story involving:
escaped animals
illegal breeding
black-market hybrids
attacks caused by negligent owners
Yet despite all of that, millions of people still keep small dinosaurs.
Because once trained properly, many are loyal, intelligent, and strangely charismatic.
They feel ancient — but alive in a way no modern animal quite does.
Mega-Corporations:
Ten years after Riftfall, dinosaur-related industries became some of the most powerful economic forces on Earth. Governments still exist and remain strong, but corporations dominate the practical side of coexistence: containment, genetics, transportation, security, pharmaceuticals, and Wild Zone exploitation.
Some companies are respected.
Some are feared.
Most are both.
Rumors
People suspect Helix secretly possesses:
stable artificial rifts
undiscovered species
classified hybrid programs
biological weapons research
Helix denies all accusations.
Constantly.
Famous Incident
The Patagonia Silence
A Helix research base in southern Patagonia abruptly went dark for 19 hours during a Rift Storm.
Satellite footage showed:
emergency flares
aircraft evacuation
large unidentified movement patterns
When communication returned, Helix claimed: “containment systems experienced temporary failure.”
No footage was ever released.
Mega-Corporations 2:
Public Controversy
Critics argue NestGuard normalizes weaponized dinosaurs.
There are also rumors that:
some trained species show abnormal intelligence
NestGuard suppresses aggression failures
certain handlers disappear after incidents
Famous Incident
The Lagos Port Breach
During a cargo blackout, six NestGuard carnivores escaped containment at a shipping port.
Instead of fleeing randomly, they systematically shut down exits and defended territory around a warehouse.
The warehouse contents were never publicly disclosed.
Public Opinion
People either adore Tiny Titan or hate them.
Supporters claim they helped normalize coexistence.
Critics call them irresponsible for commercializing intelligent prehistoric animals.
Famous Incident
The Atlanta Rooftop Swarm
A shipment of illegally modified gliding pets escaped during transit.
Hundreds nested across a luxury apartment district.
The animals:
stole electronics
attacked delivery drones
learned balcony door routines
The cleanup took weeks.
Mega-Corporations 3:
Corporate Culture
Valkyrie glorifies danger.
Employees are treated like explorers crossed with mercenaries.
Their ads literally say: “Humanity Never Expanded Safely.”
Famous Incident
The Nevada Convoy Disaster
A Valkyrie transport convoy vanished inside a desert Rift Storm.
Days later, vehicles reappeared:
partially fused
biologically contaminated
covered in unknown plant growth
Only one survivor returned.
They refused to describe what happened beyond: “The sky wasn’t right.”
Public Fear
Conspiracy theories around Chimera are endless:
illegal apex hybrids
human-dinosaur gene splicing
enhanced military predators
synthetic intelligence experiments
Some rumors are probably true.
Famous Incident
Facility K-44
A Chimera offshore lab suffered a “containment malfunction.”
Nearby ships reported:
massive unidentified aquatic movement
emergency military response
helicopters firing into the ocean
The platform was later scuttled by naval explosives.
No survivors were recovered.
Mega-Corporations 4:
Criticism
Some accuse Horizon of becoming too influential politically.
Others claim they secretly manipulate dinosaur populations to secure contracts.
Famous Incident
The Yellowstone Redirection
A massive herbivore migration unexpectedly changed course toward populated areas.
Horizon deployed experimental sonic guidance towers and redirected the entire migration with minimal casualties.
It was considered one of humanity’s greatest coexistence successes.
The towers later malfunctioned and attracted predators for months afterward.
Public Fear
People trust Riftwatch.
But they also fear them.
Because Riftwatch clearly knows things it refuses to share.
Famous Incident
The Singapore Event
A rift opened directly above a dense urban center.
Witnesses reported seeing:
impossible geometry
multiple overlapping landscapes
silhouettes unlike known dinosaurs
Riftwatch sealed the entire district within minutes.
All civilian footage was confiscated.
Official explanation: “Visual distortion caused by dimensional instability.”
Almost nobody accepted that answer.
The Wild Zones:
The Wild Zones are places where the modern world lost control.
Not civilization entirely — just dominance.
These regions became ecosystems first and human territory second. Some are only lightly dangerous. Others are considered effectively untamable, places where entering without preparation is suicide.
To people living in safe cities, Wild Zones feel almost mythical: vast, beautiful, ancient, and terrifying.
To the people who actually work there?
They’re unpredictable warzones disguised as nature.
How Wild Zones Formed
Most Wild Zones began during the first months after Riftfall.
Common causes:
repeated rift activity
collapsed infrastructure
uncontrolled dinosaur breeding
abandoned urban areas
ecosystem destabilization
Governments initially tried reclaiming all affected territory.
That failed.
It became cheaper and safer to contain many regions instead.
So humanity drew borders around chaos.
And the chaos kept growing.
What Wild Zones Look Like
Wild Zones are surreal mixes of:
modern ruins
prehistoric ecosystems
invasive plant life
unstable geography
Examples:
highways swallowed by jungle
apartment towers covered in nests
shopping malls flooded into wetlands
forests filled with massive tracks
suburban streets used as migration paths
Nature grows aggressively there.
Some Rift plants spread faster than anything on modern Earth.
Entire environments can feel prehistoric: humid air, giant insects, unfamiliar calls echoing through fog.
At night, many Wild Zones become almost completely dark except for:
emergency beacons
distant facility lights
glowing rift residue
vehicle spotlights
And the sounds.
The sounds never stop.
Types of Wild Zones
Green Zones
The safest category.
Still dangerous, but manageable with training.
Common features:
stable migration routes
ranger patrols
regulated tourism
controlled hunting
People visit these zones for:
safaris
research
adventure tourism
Think: “national park with extra death potential.”
The Wild Zones 2:
Amber Zones
Highly dangerous regions with unstable predator activity.
Common features:
abandoned settlements
heavy carnivore presence
intermittent communications
infrastructure collapse
Travel usually requires:
armed convoys
permits
tracking drones
Most frontier towns exist near Amber Zones.
Red Zones
The nightmare regions.
Governments often prohibit civilian entry entirely.
Features include:
apex nesting grounds
recurring rift storms
unknown species
environmental instability
failed military operations
Some Red Zones are so dangerous satellites avoid detailed scans because equipment losses became too expensive.
Rumors around these places are endless.
Famous Wild Zones
The Florida Floodlands
One of the most infamous zones in North America.
After multiple marine rifts opened near the Gulf Coast:
waterways expanded
invasive prehistoric wetlands spread
giant aquatic predators nested inland
Entire suburbs disappeared beneath swamp growth.
Airboats replaced cars in many regions.
Locals joke: “If the water’s quiet, run.”
The Siberian Rift Scar
A massive frozen zone formed around one of the largest known Riftfall sites.
Conditions include:
unstable magnetic fields
constant storms
enormous migratory herds
bizarre environmental distortions
Expeditions report hearing sounds with no visible source.
Some claim compasses point toward the rifts instead of north.
The Amazon Black Canopy
Large portions of the Amazon became almost inaccessible.
Rift ecosystems merged with existing rainforest, creating:
gigantic predator territories
airborne hazards
hyper-aggressive plant growth
Even drones disappear there regularly.
Researchers describe parts of it as: “prehistoric Earth with modern ruins buried underneath.”
The Wild Zones 3:
The Nevada Glass Desert
A desert Wild Zone filled with rift residue.
The landscape contains:
fused sand plains
strange crystal formations
distorted radio signals
Travelers report visual hallucinations and missing time.
Officially, this is blamed on atmospheric contamination.
Nobody fully believes that.
Life Near Wild Zones
Border communities feel like modern frontier towns.
People there are:
practical
heavily armed
extremely observant
Local rules matter more than laws sometimes.
You don’t survive long otherwise.
Common Features of Frontier Towns
reinforced buildings
elevated watch towers
emergency bunkers
landing pads
migration sirens
Many towns shut gates at night.
Not because dinosaurs always attack.
Because eventually something does.
The Economy of the Wild Zones
Wild Zones are incredibly valuable.
People risk entering them for:
rare biological materials
research
salvage
minerals
fossils
rift artifacts
Entire industries depend on Wild Zone extraction.
Black markets thrive there too:
illegal eggs
hybrid trafficking
restricted species
experimental drugs
Some smugglers know the Wild Zones better than governments do.
The Rangers
Wild Zone Rangers are legendary figures.
Part:
wildlife expert
survivalist
soldier
disaster responder
They guide convoys, track migrations, eliminate dangerous nests, and rescue stranded civilians.
Good rangers develop almost supernatural instincts:
recognizing distant calls
sensing territorial shifts
predicting stampedes
reading silence in the environment
Many have scars.
Most have trauma.
The Wild Zones 4:
The Real Danger
The deadliest thing about Wild Zones isn’t always predators.
It’s unpredictability.
A calm region can become lethal instantly because:
migrations change
rifts appear
storms hit
nesting seasons begin
ecosystems shift
Humans are no longer the unquestioned top species there.
And the environment reminds you constantly.
Wild Zone Culture
Wild Zones attract certain types of people:
explorers
thrill-seekers
scientists
criminals
survivalists
drifters
There’s a romantic mythology around them.
Movies and media portray them as places of freedom and adventure.
Reality is harsher.
People disappear constantly.
The Psychological Effect
Cities feel controlled.
Wild Zones feel alive.
That difference changes people.
First-time visitors often describe feeling:
watched
small
vulnerable
overwhelmed by scale
The wilderness feels heavier than modern nature.
Ancient.
As if Earth itself partially reverted to something older and less human.
Apex Animals:
“Apex” is the term used for the most dangerous large predators and megafauna in the modern dinosaur age.
Not every giant dinosaur qualifies.
An apex animal is defined by:
territorial dominance
extreme lethality
ability to resist modern containment
ecosystem control
human threat level
Most apexes are rare.
That’s the only reason civilization still functions.
Each apex develops a reputation, mythology, and fear factor of its own. Rangers often identify them by sound alone.
Behavior
Unlike tyrannosaurs, Spinosaurus rarely charges openly.
It stalks.
They lurk:
beneath murky water
inside flooded ruins
under collapsed bridges
in mangrove swamps
People usually know one is nearby because:
birds vanish
water becomes still
smaller predators disappear
Then something enormous moves beneath the surface.
Danger Level
Extremely high.
Spinosauruses are responsible for some of the highest death counts in swamp Wild Zones because:
boats cannot outrun them easily
they attack from concealment
they drag prey underwater
they can breach barriers surprisingly well
Entire river systems become restricted when one establishes territory.
Apex Animals 2:
Behavior
Unlike popular myths, T. rex is not mindlessly aggressive.
It behaves like a gigantic territorial bear:
intelligent
cautious
opportunistic
But once committed to an attack, it’s catastrophic.
They’re infamous for:
smashing vehicles
attacking generators
targeting movement and noise
Urban apex encounters involving T. rex usually become national news.
Danger Level
Maximum terrestrial threat.
Most containment plans focus on:
redirection
sedation
isolation
Killing one is considered an absolute last resort because the collateral damage is enormous.
Famous Incident
The Denver Highway Event
A migrating adult Rex shut down interstate traffic for 14 hours after sleeping directly across a major overpass.
Attempts to move it triggered multiple vehicle attacks.
People watched the standoff live online for hours.
Behavior
Nightfangs are feared because of intelligence.
They:
coordinate attacks
probe defenses
use distractions
remember routes
Some packs living near cities learned:
traffic timing
patrol schedules
weak fence locations
Their vocalizations sound disturbingly like laughter or distorted barking.
Apex Animals 3:
Danger Level
Extreme in groups.
A lone Utahraptor is survivable.
A coordinated pack is one of the deadliest encounters possible.
Famous Incident
The Warsaw Tunnel Hunts
A feral pack nested beneath abandoned subway tunnels and used maintenance shafts to ambush scavengers for months before being discovered.
Surveillance footage showed coordinated flanking behavior.
The footage is still used in ranger training.
Behavior
These predators are roaming hunters.
Unlike territorial Rexes, Thunderbacks travel enormous distances following herds.
They’re especially active during storms.
Some researchers believe they intentionally use poor weather conditions to ambush prey.
Danger Level
Extremely high in open terrain.
Fast enough to outrun most civilian vehicles over short distances.
Famous Incident
The Great Plains Stampede
A Thunderback attack triggered a mass herbivore panic across several migration routes.
The resulting stampede destroyed:
farms
roads
two small towns
The predator itself killed relatively few people.
The chaos around it caused the disaster.
Apex Animals 4:
Behavior
Skyterrors are opportunistic hunters and scavengers.
They:
nest on skyscrapers
attack isolated targets
steal livestock
dive silently from extreme heights
Urban populations became infamous after adapting to human infrastructure.
Danger Level
Moderate individually.
Extremely dangerous in nesting colonies.
Aircraft fear them more than ground vehicles do.
Famous Incident
The Hong Kong Blackout
A massive nesting colony formed across several communication towers.
Aggressive territorial behavior disrupted:
helicopters
drones
emergency power systems
Removing the colony took nearly three months.
Public Relationship with Apexes
People fear apexes the way ancient humans feared dragons.
They inspire:
movies
myths
military planning
conspiracy theories
internet obsession
Most people never see one in person.
And they hope it stays that way.
Because if you see an apex outside containment?
Something has already gone very wrong.
Vesper:
Apex Designation: “Vesper”
Callsign: Nightglass-0 (NG-0)
Classification: Chimera Apex Hybrid / Uncontained Rift-Born Asset
Origin Corporation: Chimera Genesis
The Apex Known as Vesper
Deep within the most unstable Rift Zone on Earth — a region often referred to by rangers as “The Shattercore” — something moves through the fog, ruins, and broken gravity fields that even apex predators avoid.
They call her Vesper.
Not because she was ever meant to be gentle or beautiful.
But because she appears most often at dusk… right when visibility fails and the rifts begin to glow.
Creation
Vesper was not born in any natural sense.
She was engineered by Chimera Genesis as part of a classified hybrid program intended to combine:
raptor intelligence templates
large theropod musculature
adaptive camouflage skin systems
enhanced sensory perception derived from Rift-exposed organisms
vocal mimicry and primitive language response circuits
Officially, the project was listed as:
“Adaptive Apex Containment Prototype Series”
Unofficially, field operatives called it:
“Make something that can survive where nothing else can.”
Vesper was Prototype NG-0 — the first of her line.
She was never supposed to leave containment.
Appearance
Vesper is roughly the size of a large raptor scaled up unnaturally, but with proportions that feel wrongly refined, as if evolution was edited instead of grown.
Key traits:
Sleek, obsidian-black feathering that shifts color under Rift light
Semi-translucent skin panels along the ribs that pulse faintly near rift energy
Long, segmented tail used for balance and silent turning
Elongated cranial crest with sensory ridges for electromagnetic detection
Hands that are almost too dexterous — capable of opening mechanical locks
Her eyes are the most disturbing feature:
reflective gold in normal light
glowing pale blue near rifts
capable of tracking motion in near-total darkness
People who’ve seen her up close describe the same feeling:
“Like being evaluated instead of hunt
Vesper 2:
Intelligence
Vesper is not just intelligent.
She is adaptive.
She learns:
patterns in human movement
machine behavior
drone flight logic
vocal structure
territorial mapping
emotional response cues
Unlike normal apex predators, she doesn’t just react.
She predicts.
Field teams reported she began avoiding traps after witnessing them only once.
Some containment experts believe she develops strategies across multiple encounters — almost like she remembers every version of the world she has ever experienced.
Speech Ability
Vesper can speak.
Not fluently.
But enough to disturb everyone who hears it.
Her vocal system is partially biological, partially engineered mimicry. She can reproduce human speech, but her phrasing is:
short
fragmented
emotionally neutral
occasionally grammatically incorrect
Examples of recorded phrases:
“Not alone. I hear you.”
“Door is wrong.”
“You leave. I stay.”
“Rift is calling.”
“I remember this place… before.” (most unsettling due to uncertainty of meaning)
Sometimes she repeats phrases she has heard from humans — but with slightly altered tone, as if testing what they mean.
Rangers note that she often speaks only when she is not being directly observed.
Vesper 3:
Behavior in the Shattercore
Vesper does not behave like a typical apex predator.
She behaves like something that owns the territory.
Within the deepest Rift Zone:
smaller predators avoid her entirely
rift storms often form around her movements
drones malfunction when she is nearby
even Spinosaurus-class apexes reroute away from her territory
She is often seen:
walking through broken ruins without reacting to danger
staring into active rifts for extended periods
dragging unknown materials back into hidden nests
appearing briefly in surveillance footage before systems fail
Riftwatch officially classifies her as:
“Apex anomaly with potential rift synchronization behavior.”
Field rangers have a simpler classification:
“Don’t go where she is.”
The Escape Event
Vesper was originally housed in a sealed Chimera Genesis deep-containment facility known as Site Blackglass.
During a multi-point Rift Storm event:
containment fields destabilized
multiple experimental hybrids were lost
rift pressure exceeded structural limits
internal communication ceased for 43 minutes
When recovery teams arrived:
all perimeter systems were intact
no external breach was found
but Vesper was gone
Security footage shows only one thing:
A corridor light flickering once.
And something walking out of frame without breaking stride.
Vesper 4:
Why She Is So Dangerous
Vesper is considered one of the most dangerous apexes on Earth not because she is the largest or strongest — but because she is:
intelligent enough to learn from humans
adapted to rift instability
capable of stealth in both urban and Wild Zone environments
partially resistant to conventional tracking systems
behaviorally unpredictable over long time scales
But the most concerning trait is this:
She does not appear to be expanding territory like a normal predator.
She is waiting.
Sometimes watching rift activity.
Sometimes speaking to it.
Final Status
Current classification:
Uncontained
Highly adaptive apex hybrid
Rift-correlated anomaly
Kill authorization: denied (due to containment failure risk and unknown environmental consequences)
Last confirmed sighting: Deep Shattercore Rift Zone, standing still during a storm, speaking once:
“It opens again.”
Then walking directly into the glowing fracture — and not emerging on any known sensor grid.
The Shattercore:
The Shattercore (Red Zone Ω)
Status: Absolute No-Entry Zone
Designation: Rift Super-Instability Field / Ecological Collapse Nexus
The Shattercore is the most dangerous Wild Zone on Earth — not because of dinosaurs alone, but because it is where reality itself behaves unpredictably.
It is officially classified as a permanent exclusion zone, enforced by international treaty. No civilian, military unit, or corporation is authorized to enter without a multi-government Riftwatch override — and those are almost never granted.
Most maps simply label it:
HERE BE NO DATA
What the Shattercore Is
The Shattercore is a massive, semi-stable region of overlapping Rift activity where:
rifts open and close without warning
ecosystems from different prehistoric eras overlap
physics occasionally behaves inconsistently
wildlife appears and disappears without migration patterns
terrain shifts over time (not always gradually)
It is not one place.
It is a stack of broken environments layered on top of each other.
At any given moment, parts of the Shattercore may contain:
dense jungle from a carboniferous-like biome
arid desert plains with fossilized storm structures
flooded ruins filled with marine predators
volcanic zones with ash clouds that don’t disperse normally
gravity-distorted valleys where sound travels incorrectly
The Environment
The Shattercore 2:
The Shattercore 3:
The Rift Storm Cycle
The Shattercore experiences something called continuous micro-rift cycling.
Instead of isolated rifts:
dozens open simultaneously
collapse into each other
re-form in slightly different locations
This creates:
sudden terrain replacement
brief environmental “snap changes”
unpredictable ecological resets
A forest can become a swamp in minutes.
A river can stop existing.
A mountain can appear where flat ground was moments earlier.
Why It Is Completely Off-Limits
The ban on entering the Shattercore is not political.
It is practical survival policy.
Every major organization agrees on three facts:
The Shattercore 4:
The Horizon Boundary Project
Horizon Ecologies attempted to deploy stabilization towers along the perimeter.
For 48 hours, the system worked.
Then:
all towers began transmitting identical data simultaneously
despite being kilometers apart
before shutting down at the same second
Horizon classified the event as:
“Coordinated environmental rejection response.”
The Shattercore 5:
Human Behavior Near the Shattercore
Even experienced Wild Zone rangers avoid it instinctively.
People who travel near the border describe:
feeling “watched by the land itself”
sudden animal silence miles before reaching it
compulsion to turn back without knowing why
dreams of unfamiliar landscapes after sleeping nearby
There is a saying among frontier crews:
“You don’t enter the Shattercore.
You get noticed by it.”
Relationship to Apex Entities
Several apex-level creatures — including Vesper — are suspected to:
navigate the Shattercore reliably
survive rift cycling events unharmed
disappear and reappear without traceable movement
behave as if they understand its structure
This is one of the biggest unanswered questions in Rift science:
Are apexes avoiding the Shattercore…
or are they part of it?
Final Status
Access Level: Zero Authorization
Surveillance Level: Indirect orbital only
Containment Strategy: Nonexistent
Scientific Classification: “Active Reality Instability Region”

About twenty years ago, portals opened all over the world. Monsters emerged and began killing humans indiscriminately. As humanity was on the brink of collapse, humans began gaining the power to hunt monsters and protect humanity. They are called Rankers.

One hundred years ago, humanity awoke to a new era when the first individuals with extraordinary powers appeared. No one knows for sure where they came from: some were born with them, others acquired them through accidents, mysterious artifacts, pacts, or the study of occult arts. The truth is that, since then, the world has changed forever. The Earth has become a stage where hope and chaos coexist daily. On one side emerged heroes, symbols of justice who protect humanity, building cities and saving millions of lives. On the other, appeared villains, who use their gifts to dominate, destroy, or impose their will. Between the two sides, society learned to live under the constant balance of power, with governments and organizations that regulate, fear, and at the same time depend on these extraordinary figures. Today, your story begins here, in this world where every decision matters and where powers define the destiny of entire nations. Say your name, age, story, what power you possess and how you obtained it.

Trench Crusade isn't just a game, it's an entire dark universe. I'd describe it this way: it's an alternate history of our world, where reality blends with horror, and the First World War is deeply intertwined with an eternal religious conflict. From this soil, the tabletop miniature wargame emerged. How the world works A key moment in the lore: in 1099, during the First Crusade, the Knights Templar captured Jerusalem. In the catacombs beneath the First Temple, they discovered an ancient artifact—a seal that prevented the forces of darkness from penetrating the human world. But the knights were seduced by promises of power and omniscience: they swore allegiance to the lords of the underworld, performed a sorcerous ritual, and opened a portal to hell. The city was lost, and the forces of darkness poured onto Earth. Since then, humanity has waged an endless war against demons and legions of heretics. The events of the game itself take place more than 800 years later, around 1914. And here's where the fun begins: against the backdrop
