Harnessing the Abyss

Scientific achievement

This world was once a prosperous and thriving place, full of life and technology, until in a gamble for power, Empress Tatiana Kolichev tried to exploit the roiling energies of the Abyss to fuel her expanding civilization.   After years of failed experiments, the scholars of the Kolichev Empire made a breakthrough. They discovered how to tap the raw energy of the Abyss, and trap in in crystal batteries. Empress Kolichev’s efforts earned her the energy needed to power trains, factories, and machines of war, which propelled the Kolichev Empire to enormous power overnight.
