🔴 Mars — Crimson Genesis
“Blood of the old gods, forge of iron will, cradle of conquest.”
Once a barren whisper in the void,
Now a world reborn in myth and flame.
Mars, the Crimson Genesis,
Awakens in veils of rust and prophecy.
Not a planet—but a proving ground,
Where blood remembers and souls burn bright.
📜 Origin Legend
In the Age of Ember Wills, before Earth’s tongues knew flame or steel, the crimson world was home to the Primarchs—celestial war-binders whose veins ran with molten resolve. When the last Primarch fell to silence, Mars slumbered for millennia beneath its red dust. But now, touched by solar song and humanity’s reach, the Red Planet stirs again, eager to test those who would call it home.
