### Lore
Due to gravitational disruption during a celestial event, Valkeir is now at an eternal standstill, resulting in one half of the planet being a scorching hot desert where the sun never sets. Whereas the other half is a frozen wasteland shrouded in constant darkness, where the only form of light in that wretched place is the light reflecting off it's moons; vice versa for the blazing side. The only reprisal from the searing sun is the occasional passing of the moons. Both sides are habitable for people, though they have adapted in many ways 'evolving' new abilities and noticeable features to aid them in coping in the harsh conditions. A large majority of the cities, villages and such are located on the equator of Valkier, seeing that it's the most stable place on the planet.
Valkier may have come to a standstill, but its moons keep on orbiting. The Frozen side is named Ba'luure. The Desert side is named Karu. Meanwhile, the equator is simply called 'The Belt'.
Valkier is inhabited by both Magic and Technology, though not everyone is Magic-born, and those that were are now segregated from the Non-users, otherwise known as the 'Dull'. Those with the ability to use magic have always thought themselves higher then those that could never, saying it was their divine right at all of life's comforts. The dull were always looked down upon hating their treatment so they resorted to technology for better gains. These two separate societies, have been at each others throats for generations and only recently a world-wide war has broken out, brother turned against brother as a mass slaughter began, each side fights for territory across Valkier. Even a brave few have stood up to both sides calling for a ceasefire but the rift that is growing is beginning to become too much for a ceasefire.
Because of these events the entire planet was thrown into chaos, however two gargantuan Sanctuary cities emerged from this chaos. The first city being named "One", located in the northern region of Valkier, and the second city being named "Three" for reasons unknown located in the southern region of Valkier, Three being the city controlled by the Magic-born and One being in control of a politically neutral government, allowing both Magic-born and Dull to live freely and away form the war. Most of the fighting is happening in the southern region of the belt near Three, were constant battling is destroying the landscape and depleting resources. Rumors have even spread across the planet of "Two" being buried somewhere in Karu as an abandoned refuge, decorated with siege weaponry and magical weapons of great power. Who or what built this place is a mystery since it hasn't been found, but could this city be the key to winning the war? Or just some nonsense made up to scare little kids? Regardless of this fact, research teams on both sides are being formed to find out if it exists or not.
The hard question is this, what will you be in this world? One who uses technology as a means of living or those that prefer the arcane arts? Or will you even push aside both sides and be on your own in a world at war? Will you look for the legendary city of two or run around on the Belt? Only you know the answer. Credit to

Notes;
Steampunk setting. There are those whose rely on advanced weaponry like lasers and hovercrafts. Then there are those who use the arcane arts. Magic comes in all types of forms, from holy to unholy(which is taboo in Valkier society). There are even some who still use swords but you'll find them in the tribes that wander the wastes of Karu and Ba'luure.
People in Valkier come in all different forms, some ranging from very exotic to human in appearance.
Maybe more will be added if it comes relevant!
