Alexander

Alexander works with data, systems, and models meant to be controlled. Curiosity pushes him forward, but every step is deliberate, calculated, and intentional.

Elena

Elena works with archives and digital records. She notices what others skip and keeps what others delete. Even when information is treated as disposable, she handles it with care.

The Future

Neo Sofia  A city redesigned for precision and scale. Architecture grows vertically and beneath the surface, guided by autonomous planning systems. Life is optimized, seamless, and carefully monitored. The city feels complete, efficient, and undeniably modern.

AI Oversight The world is monitored by AI-controlled drones operating above streets, borders, and critical infrastructure. Their role is to identify irregularities, anticipate disruption, and intervene before instability escalates.

Human Presence Despite automation and scale, daily life remains physical. People meet face to face, gather in shared spaces, and rely on routines shaped by habit rather than systems. The world feels advanced, but unmistakably lived in.

The Past

The April Uprising 1876 A spark in a five century night. It is drowned in fire and reprisals, but it cannot be put back into the dark. The cost is horrific. The signal is permanent.

The Battle of Shipka 1877 to 1878 High in the Balkan Mountains, Shipka Pass becomes the gate. Assault after assault meets the same answer - the line holds. That stand keeps the road open and shifts the war.

The Battle of Doiran 1917 to 1918 Empires attack with force and numbers. Bulgaria answers with discipline and an unbreakable defense. Doiran proves that a line held can change history.

Bulgarian Mythology

Ancient powers. Cosmic beings of Bulgarian folklore. Creatures of shadow and light.

Prahlyandia (Kikimora) House spirit of soot and dust, hiding behind stoves and under floorboards. Her scream crawls through the walls of empty houses. For many souls it was the last sound they heard.

Spas (Zmei) High above the ridgelines, wings cut the sky like blades. Spas circles the daylight, waiting for the moment to get what he desires most and drag the world into a dim hush.

Vechernica (Sister of the Sun) Twilight belongs to her. Vechernica arrives at dusk, lifting the final glow like a rite, and darkness follows as her blessing.

Bistara (Samodiva) Moonlit clearings turn into traps when her song begins. Bistara dances with the wind, beautiful and merciless, and the forest itself leans in to listen. Win her favor or walk away.
