Uranium Noon

## SORRY THIS IS CURRENTLY NOT CANON TO THE STORY DUE TO THE HISTORY REWORK

The Uranium Noon was the nickname for what is considered the first of the three most damaging bombing done over America.

On 24. 8. 1952. at 14:44 two FoJ G6W4 Hikuyama bombers flew over Chicago and passed without taking any visible damage from anti-aircraft fire. How the two Bombers made it all the way from overseas so far inland without being noticed was never found out. After traveling for another 45 kilometres the bombers begun what was estimated to be a light 3 - 5⁰ dive towards the Marrania Reds nuclear plant array.

After traveling for another 28 kilometres both bombers dropped what was later confirmed to be a small TNW and an estimated amount of 30-40 smaller incendary bombs. Marriania Reds was destroyed by the attack and kept burning for a full day after the bombing. Right after the frist TNW was dropped the pair of bombers turned back south east. An L-133 starjet squadron had been dispatched in front of the estimated flight path of the bombers however due to the sudden turnaround the interception was delayed. After the five starjets reached the Hikuyamas they managed to greatly damage both of them as for some reason they did not seem to be equipped with any turrets. The squadron leader's gun camera reveals a total of six crew members parachuting down from the damaged Hikuyamas. It is assumed that each of the bombers were manned with only three of the regular five crew members.

After the investigating the splash site of the bombers no traces of either pilots or parachutes was ever found, though the two sunken bombers have been investigated by a high pressure diving team 1962. The investigation revealed that the bombers have been roughly stripped of their turrets and everything related to them. The blackbox case was revealed to never have held a blackbox and the landing gear of the bomber was not present though the addition of strange hardpoints in the hull suggests a detachable undercarrige was used.

At Marriania Reds the fallout created by the bombing prevented anybody from entering a 50 Km distance without leaded suits. In 22. 9. 1952. the diameter of the dangerous area increased to 135Km. The spike in radiation was assumed to be caused by a chain reaction causing several meltdowns in the nearby reactors of the array. Soon after the entirety of northern Ilinois had to be evacuated and operations were put in action to exterminate surviving wild animals and seal off rivers leading from the danger zone of Marrania Reds though they were never completed due to the USA needing to focus additional resources on the war effort.

The estimated death toll of the Uranium Noon bombing was about 580 000 while the number of harmed people was too difficult to calculate due to separate war factors.
Copper Lard

Copper lard is a form of traditional plant based butter made by pressing reheating and filtering copperwood seeds until the result is pure enough. This is the staple product of most towns in the eastern eer forest

Copper lard melts into a highly transparent colorless oil at about 27 o C. it is a gradient between smooth and solid alabaster colored butter at lower temperatures. it is preferably used for lower temperature cooking. It can be used as a spread to be put on bread or crackers depending on the type of lard as lard made from younger, unripe seeds has a far sharper, olive oil like taste while older seeds have a much blander and undefined taste. Oil made from aged seeds has a more butter like taste with a slight hint of sweet.

to make copper lard eerwood seeds must be pressed or thoroughly crushed and the liquid that separates must be drained for further processing. The hulls and pressed seeds can be used as feed for most larger farm animals. The liquid will then need to first be filtered through a rough and then fine filter to separate all the additional fragments and shards of hulls and seeds. after that the liquid must be lowered in temperature to between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius to force as much water out and allow for it to be more easily separated. This is due to water having a lower freezing point then copper lard making the water stay liquid while the lard turns into a solid block.

After the separation is completed a larger percentage of water is removed so the lard must now be slowly heated over a fire until the mostly opaque liquid starts forming a yellowish foam up top. after the foam made from water and impurities is removed the lard should be slowly kept heated until foam stops forming. after that the lard needs to be cooled down to room temperature for a hour or more and the process must be repeated a few times until barely any foam forms when heated. During the process the lard should never start smoking and if it does it needs to be taken off of the heat as the lard can char and blacken and ruin the whole batch.

After this the lard needs to be cooled once more in some kind of mold and the darkened underside of the now solid block should be cut off to get rid of any impurities that got layered during the foam removal. After this your copper lard is ready! if kept solid it can stay good for 2 - 8 months depending on purity and age and if kept between 5 o C and 10 o C it can be good for a year and a half.

Copper Lard that is industrially purified for many days can actually be used as a high temperature cooking and deep frying oil though it costs a bit to buy as the production process is somewhat complex.
Wire Fortress (building in mongolia)

The Wire Fortress is a massive adobe fortification built by the USA near branching shallow rivers inland from the mongolian dryland.

It's designated purpose was to be a communication relay point for the allied forces during ww2 which can easily be determined by the massive steel tower layered in scaffolding and bare wires.

Though the Wire Fortres's purpose was not needed after the uranium noon nowdays it is still used as a radio tower due to it's general quality and strong renovated bridges
Scilophen

POORLY EXPLAINED, NEEDS TO BE RE-WRITTEN

Scilophen is a lighter-than-air gas naturally produced by certain fungi. It has the as of now unexplainable property of atmospheric buoyancy higher than vacuum. It is slightly poisonous to most mammals, does not ignite nor support burning. It is pale blue and quite transparent in appearance. It has a slight smell of plastic and hazelnuts.

In the ecosystem many plants and animals gather it from varying mushroom species and greatly rely on it for their survival. Notable examples are hoverdrakes, ironcloud butterflies, boat-green and floating moss. Which all rely on scilophen to maintain flight.

Scilophen is commonly used in engineering as a method of making various machinery buoyant enough to maintain unpowered flight and can be found in aerostatic torpedoes, flyshells, lunged scilophen tanks, boarding balloons and most importantly soft-bloomed land clouds among others.

Industrially used scilophen is separated into five classes: A, B, C, D and E

THE BIT BELOW IS NOT CORRECT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING WHILE WRITING THESE NUMBERS

* One cubic meter of pure, uncompressed class A scilophen is able to carry 1250 kg of weight at sea level
* One cubic meter of pure, uncompressed class B scilophen is able to carry 900 kg of weight at sea level
* One cubic meter of pure, uncompressed class C scilophen is able to carry 750 kg of weight at sea level
* One cubic meter of pure, uncompressed class D scilophen is able to carry 475 kg of weight at sea level
* One cubic meter of pure, uncompressed class E scilophen is able to carry 350 kg of weight at sea level
Scilophagius dentritus

A small azure half transparent mushroom sometimes seen growing in the warmer parts of the downfall. These mushrooms have a fairly regular life cycle with the only notable thing being the fact they naturally burst open due to pressure to send spores flying.

Though rare in the wild it is widely cultivated mushroom as most airmarine construction companies such as the Subterrate and Rigband use it to gather class A scilophen to be used in all kinds of dead airmarines' scilophen tanks.

Scilophagus is most often grown in closed enviroments and is put into an airtight container before harvesting. Because most of the scilophen is produced right before the fruitbody explodes the mushroom is let through it's natural life cycle. After exploding the fruitbody and it's airtight container are opened to another container of variable size located above them. Due to scilophen's high buoyancy it will immediately flow to the top container which is then manually compressed till only pure scilophen is left in it. After that the container is sealed and the rest of the air and dilluted scilophen is dumped. This method is the most used for farming as while there are less wasteful methods in which the scilophagus is harvested before maturity these often produce far less scilophen overall.
Axolotol

Alcoholic drink with a high alcohol percentage that can be found all across the downfall and is brewed from different produce that vary regionally.

It is rumored to be known as axolotol as certain north-easter downfall villages near the devil straits put dried axolotls in the alcohol bottles as they were said to have a health benefit. The real reason behind its name actually came from broadheart propaganda posters noting how axolotol diluted with lots of water can act as an anti knocking agent making piston engines "breathe as if they were given an extra pair of gills".

Axolotol is usually used to prepare various cocktails as not a lot of it needs to be used to give them a kick and it is notoriously used by boarding crews and waste gunners either on it's own or as grog.
Quad Rib crossbow

A Quad rib crossbow is a type of stringed weapon that has four or more ribs instead of two, often placed at a slight angle of each other. This setup offers a greater draw strength at a smaller total size however comes with the disadvantage of a complex string that has more sources of failiure.

First appearing around 1923 these crossbows have only gained popularity during Neustarten as many people were in search for cheap ways to defend themselves from the various new wildlife that had just started appearing.
Foothill miasma

Foothill miasma also known as the flakhand's craze is a kind of mushroom that individually grows on cliffs, sometimes airmarine hulls though always vertical surfaces unless they grow in a cluster in which case they almost grow in strange, often star or oval shaped groups on the ground.

These orange mushrooms with a branching fruitbody are not dangerous on their own and are even rumored to be edible though depending on their age they can be a huge threat to most larger fauna. After the mushroom starts growing spores it dries up very quickly and the mycelium it has set down withers too. At this point the spores are carried by the wind to various places and if the conditions are right a smaller mycelium cluster and fruitbody will sprout where the spores land. If enough spores are inhaled by any mammal and certain non mammals too they will begin acting in a strange manner. First off the affected creature's mind will be tricked into releasing hormones that spark curiosity at the same time a fear of heights is felt. This will continue for 1-3 days since the spores have been inhaled depending on the size of the creature. After this stage passes the affected creature will not feel as strong of an urge to back up after observing and going around tall ledges. There will also be a loss of balance as the eardrums are affected too. After another 2-3 days pass the affected creature will feel a strong tingling feeling through the body and a sharp pain in the ears that appears to dissapear when the creature is scared. After this 3-6 day period passes the chemicals surrounding the spores will have already gotten dissolved and consumed and the effected creature is mostly left unharmed, rarely with a burst eardrum. If the creature does fall down a tall cliff and dies it's corpse becomes the home of a cluster of misasmas

Due to the process listed above any people (mostly airship or skyship crews) that look over railings on airmarines strangely oftem or stare down cliffs for longer periods of time are questioned to determine whether they are affected. If they turn out to be affected they are locked away for the next 5 days in order to be kept away from ledges. As the stages pass the person may have their ears washed by vinegar and hot water as these tend to be highly effective at lowering the pain, and to help further sometimes horror movies or horror literature may be given to the person to further dampen the effect. Though pretty painful the process of inhaling foothil miasma spores is moreso viewed as an annoyance by all kinds of crews as it means losing a crew member for 4-5 days.
Bleeding Moon of the Great Airwell

the Bleeding Moon of the Great Airwell also known as simply the Moon of the Airwell is a cluster of translucent, atmospherically buoyant algae with bioluminescent properties that are carried around by winds in the Sandbank. They, just as Land Clouds and Scilophagus mushrooms produce Scilophen that allows them to stay atmospherically buoyant.

The moon of the airwell is rarely seen as each individual algae is mostly transparent. It looks vaguely spherical and could easily fit into a tiny box with a 0.5 cm3 internal volume. Despite this during the several weeks when the Airwell appears the tiny moons are siphoned into its eye. After all being clustered together all the algae form a sphere with a hollow tube running through the center to prepare to bloom. This massive shape that can span from 300 meters up to a kilometer in width depending on how bountiful or punishing the season was. The Algae feed on aeroflora and airborne microbes for several days to prepare for blooming. They feed by creating a temperature difference in the central tube to drive air in through the bottom and throw it out the top. After the airwell clears the Dark red blooming moon can be seen freely floating during the night when the bioluminescence is easily noticeable. This yearly phenomenon is what the Moon of the Airwell got its name after.
Golod Locust

Golod Locusts are a species that originated from migratory locusts. They were unnaturally created during the Neustarten by the effects of the renaissance extract. After their first appearance golods would start breeding rapidly until their sheer numbers caused a great hunger all over Europe. Certain continental parts of Europe got so much damage from them that herds of grazing animals died from the lack of grass. After roughly a year of what seemed like an infinitely exponential growth in numbers their species almost went extinct.

## Info

Currently Golods are theorized to still be alive only due to their adaptability though the greatly decreased fertility of eggs suggests some kind of additional behavior may have been developed over the course of the year they were at their peak.

## Trivia

* Golod is the russian word for hunger.
* Golod locusts were written into existence to thin out the population of Europe. The population of the USA was already handled by the Uranium Noon and it's aftermath.
Staged heat fuse

A tube filled with many mixes of ignitable chemicals of various kinds. The startup end of the fuse has a highly ignitable powdered fuel (often a tiny amount of gunpowder) and the opposite end of the fuse has a thermite filling. When the starting end ignites the first stage detonates quickly causing the opposite end to ignite at high heat in a matter of milliseconds. The detonation end can reach iron melting temperatures which is high enough to detonate most azure shriek based ammunition which is what it used to ignite most of the time.
Hollowgate

Hollowgates are Airmarines built to carry planes and other odd-shaped cargo in large numbers in either partly or fully assembled form. They are quite nieche in terms of use though they are fairly common in the Downfall as hauling large numbers of smaller aircraft is more economic then individually flying them out. Similarly aircraft that are not airworthy due to damage or incomplete construction. As this is not a common enough nieche to justify maintanence Hollowgates are often used for regular cargo hauls the same way a wareship does them.
Proxy

A Proxy, also known as an Instance by members of the Broadheart is a kind of unmanned aircraft connected to a control station wirelessly. Such aircraft offer the advantage of pilot safety at the cost of more difficult use.

Proxies were first made in Great Britain in 1964. In the form of modified Glostar Meteors. The first test variant Had a regular canopy with a processor surrounded by various cameras in it. The cameras faced all angles and provided various information as well as a live video feed to the control station. The information given was very basic and such the modified meteors had no practical use. only later when flight instruments would develop further proxies proxies would be used again, now with removed canopies and hull integrated cameras. as well as mobile control stations to reduce possible interference.

Currently proxies are by far most often used to test experimental aircraft that are prone to causing disasters.
Logscotch

Logscotch or charraramel is a type of food eaten all across the downfall and it is known for being really easy to prepare. To make logscotch a fresh sweet keg must be put on it's side, the top must have a hole cut through it and the keg with sweet water in it needs to be put over a fire for 3-7 hours depending on size and temperature. The sweet water should be emptied of any sawdust from the process of cutting the hole and the sides of the keg must not be the ones facing downwards. After  10-20 minutes of cooking the sides of the keg should form a black tar like substance. This is just sugar trapped inside of the keg that got burned by the temperature that cannot catch on fire due to the water that is exiting too. After an hour or two the slightly murky water should have lost half of its volume and gotten a lot less clear. Stirring it now should show minor viscosity. At this point a spoon of honey and some heavy cream or milk may be added though this is not needed if the ingredients are unavailable. After a few more hours the sweetkeg should already have a very charred underside and the sweet water should have started turning a bit brown. After an hour or two more the liquid should have turned into a continuous light brown with a lesser viscosity than that of flowing honey. This means the logscotch is done. It's taste is similar to that of caramel though it is less sweet and has a slight planty flavour to it that many say defines it. Though additional cooking and removal of foam that forms this planty flavour is removed though water or cream needs to be re-added to maintain the low viscosity.

This sweet sauce is widely used in all kinds of sweet food, from candy fillings to cake glazes and so on.

Ironically logscotch is considered a survival food by some as it is relatively easy to make with basic cutting tools and a fire though many will agree it is not a meal that will stay tasty in large quantities as the sweet flavor becomes sickening quickly on its own.

Rasterizer

Rasterizers are unguided air-to-air weapons designed to be deployed in a barrage. They are most often stored in hardpoint mounted pods and are intended to be used at a close range to the target or from further away when aimed at a group of targets due to the natural spread of the rockets stored within a pod.

## Info

First used in 1947. by the soviet union in an attempt to stop Allied bombing runs Rasterizers became a questionably effective weapon as they tended to rely far too much on chance to be effective under normal circumstances. The Soviets still ended up choosing to use them in large numbers as saturation attacks using rasterizers put pilots at less risk then traditional strafing attacks.

After a falloff in popularity soon after the Uranium Noon rasterizers would be utilised again by both Surface and Downfall forces as a mean of taking out airmarines as the large spread made them particularly effective against less armored targets. The Broadheart specifically designed an anti Airmarine oriented duckbill rasterizer that has greater horizontal spread then vertical spread.

## Pros/Cons

Rasterizers pack quite a punch for their size and an aircraft can generally be equipped with fairly large numbers of pods.

Inaccuracy is quite an issue as distance rises so smaller targets can only be effectively attacked up close.

Rasterizer rockets can collide after firing causing them to detonate, often causing a chain reaction with the other rockets that effectively causes all of the rockets from the pod to detonate early.

## Trivia

Rasterizers got their name from the criss-cross pattern they create when tearing through armor

Rasterizers can be delayed so that the rockets in the pod fire sequentially, reducing the chance of a misfire.
Salt cap

Salt caps are small mushrooms that grow in cold, mostly lower elevated areas both within and outside of the downfall. They consume water through their highly rigid mycelium and filter out all the minerals they find. The excess minerals that the cap cannot consume (mostly salt) are often found on the mushroom’s bowl like cap. Caps of healthy salt caps break at one side so that rain water can easily wash up the salt that other organisms haven’t consumed. The mushrooms flesh is not edible, and it is highly unhealthy for both humans and animals.

These mushrooms cannot be grown but using them to collect salt and other materials that dissolve in water is a common practice in the downfall as these mushrooms usually grow densely in large circles.
Fighters

Fighter Planes are generally smaller aircraft designed for various types of aerial combat, mostly against other combat aircraft. Their staple traits are usually high performance, a focus on maneuverability and speed as well as various offensive armaments.

* A9M Axt
* Dw2 "Pinwheel"
* Dw4 "Riftern"
* Dw8 "Tascal"
Death Climb

A death climb is a loss of altitude control in an aircraft that causes it to actively climb upwards with no control.

Death climbs are most often entered by airmarines that have either had their lift bladders compromised or that have lost enough of their mass for the lift bladders to not be able to compensate for it.

Death climbs are most often exited by purging the vehicle's land cloud or scilophen tank causing it to lose enough lift to be dragged back down by gravity.

Due to it not being strictly defined one vehicle dragging another upwards can be counted as a death climb. This maneuver is often used in the Downfall as a suicide attack that drags both of the vehicles above the upper limiter, and while not being popular due to it's logistical difficulty is still greatly romanticised by most airmarine crews alike in a similsr way to an execution dive.
Log yeast

This type of yeast grows in large tuber-like clusters on dying and dead tree matter all across the downfall.

It is an important culinary ingredient as it still acts as regular yeast when mixed with water and flour. Bread made with log yeast has a highly buttery flavour however the mushroom on it's own has a sharp taste of spoiled milk. The mushroom is edible on its own but due to its nutritional value and poor taste it is considered famine food.
Glacial Fridge

A Glacial Fridge is a specially designed room that is often fit onto larger airmarines with the role of a large freezer to temporarily hold things with an otherwise short shelf life. It can store the low temperatures from frigid areas in large blocks of ice to carry the frigid temperature to warmer areas with no needed power.

## Info

Glacial Fridges are most often built in a layered manner where the outside is made of a highly insulating material and the inside of a different material that is good at conducting heat. Any larger glacial fridge most often has a signle door and one smaller hatch, sometimes mounted onto the said door to reduce the points where most heat exchange can happen. Smaller ones may only have one hatch.

## Use

The way a glacial fridge functions is by cooling water that is slowly dripped into the room to make layers of ice. After this is done the room is closed and can keep it's ingredients cool for up to weeks depending on size. after all the ice melts the water is let out and the room may be re-frozen once the airmarine enters a sub zero area.

A glacial fridge can either be filled with ice and then stocked with various cargo or the things needed to be put in it can be frozen solid along with their containers to keep them cooler for a longer ammount of time. This second method is often used when the cargo that is put into the fridge is going to be used to restock powered fridges after they are emptied

## Trivia

* Boarding crews often build makeshift glacial fridges that double as unsanitary yet efficient water storage.
Flight bladder

## Info

Flight bladders, also called lift bladders are large machines that consist of an air pump and inflatable ballonet diaphragms. These machines are attached to an airmarine's land clouds or scilophen tanks, most often being mounted down the length of the land cloud's envelope.

## Use

Flight bladders are used to increase or decrease the buoyancy of an airship for the sake of changing or maintaining a set altitude. They do this by using air pumped from the atmosphere to inflate ballonets on the inside of land clouds or scilophen tanks to compress the gas within, thus lowering the buoyancy they produce.

## Trivia

* Flight bladders are commonly considered weak spots for airmarines as they are almost guaranteed to throw them into a death climb if damaged.
* Stallships that have flight often have an additional air entrance that purely uses the airmarine's speed to fill the lungs to save on weight and complexity.
The Rejection Letter Bombing

The Rejection Letter bombing, often known as the point that forced the USA to surrender in the second world war was an operation carried out by the FoJ in 1959.

On DDMM/1959 a lone high altitude variant Shi no kaze nicknamed "halfway into hellfire" took off from a still unknown FoJ airfield

That's it, that caused the fall of America

Jkjk i am still not done
Sweetkeg bamboo

Sweetkeg bamboo is a somewhat uncommon  species of bamboo that grows in the dry jungle near the southern edge of the great cliff. Sweetkeg is a fairly large plant and can easily be distinguished by its few lowest segments that are large, curved and fairly grayer compared to the rest. These segments contain a solution of plant flavoured water and sugar that the bamboo had made and stored. The outer ends of the sweetkeg's lower segments often appear soft and even cracked even though the inside is always shielded by a thick layer of resistant fibres.

Sweet keg is commonly used (as the name suggests) for brewing sweet and flavorful alcoholic brews. The fibres within sweet kegs are filled with natural sugar that makes brews made in it taste a fragrant sweet though this generally only lasts for the first three brews. Due to this the sweetkeg's lower segments are placed into a large device that acts as a frame and keeps it in place while running a tap into it through a drilled hole located opposite of the added airtight lid. Sweetkeg is thus used to make logscotch caramel, bamboo brew, raw sugar and can be used as a source of water if needed.
Billion

A **billion** is a number equal to 109 = E9 = 1,000,000,000. Like the million, it is often used as a hyperbole in English. In the long scale, it is called a **milliard**, whereas "billion" refers to 1012. The system is rare in English, but common in French and German.

## Examples

* 1 billion seconds is equal to 31 years.
	+ Billion Minutes Ago (1901 years): Roman Empire was still around.
	+ Billion Hours Ago (~114,000 Years): Early Human Civilization
	+ Billion Days Ago (~2.7 Million Years): A bit before early humans spawned.
	+ Billion Weeks - ~19 Million Years
	+ Billion Months Ago (~83 Million Years): Dinosaurs still existed
	+ Billion Years Ago (Just 1,000,000,000 Years): About twice before the Cambrian Explosion.
* The distance between the Sun and Pluto is 3 billion miles.
* The internet contains over a billion webpages.
* The world population is 7.6 billion.
* The first YouTube video to reach a billion views is Gangnam Style, by Korean rapper PSY, on December 2012.

Vehicles

The world of Outskirts is full of vehicles used for transport, combat, sports and other activities.

Vehicles can roughly be separated into several categories.

Airmarines are aircraft of mostly larger size with aerostatic buoyancy that maintain their altitude via the use of scilophen gas.

Airplanes are aircraft that use mostly static lift generating surfaces to fly.

Helicopters are aircraft that use rotating blades to push air downwards in order for vertical thrust to be achieved.

Hovercraft are vehicles that go over land or water using an air cushion or the ground effect.

Ships are aquatic vehicles that use water displacement or material density to float on the surface of water.

Submarines are aquatic vehicles that posess the ability to dive and surface from underwater.

Armoured vehicles are land vehicles equipped with various kinds of armour designed to increase survivability

Civilian vehicles are basically carz
Windweb

A small primitive plant species that grows on horizontal tree branches in the dry jungle near the great cliff of the downfall. It has a tiny stem with several small spore-carrying leaves on it.

The roots of Windwebs are often several meters long and go from the bottom of the branch until they are about ten centimeters above the ground. They gain nutrients by filtering out algae from the air passing between their thin, cyan roots.

Windweb is used for the production of mostly edible cyan pigment.
Median Compound

A median compound bow is a type of bow similar in design to a traditional compound bow but with the twist of having it's cams closer to the middle of each rib then on it's outer ends. It has quite an advanced pulley system that is located very close to the ribs that make it difficult to sever the string of the bow.

## Info

The origins of the median compound are widely unknown as the chainsail had only found out about them after recovering them from boarding crews that had to be hunted down for defecting. The median compound has been confirmed to have been designed in the downfall however various interviews pinpointed the first appearance of the design being far northeast in the downfall near the devil's straits.

## Use

Though this weapon is quite rare it is most often seen used by boarding crews due to the cheap ammo. Rarely this weapon has been know to be used by paid hitmen however the commonness of the median compound in comparison to other bows is hard to determine because most paid hitmen don't want to be caught.

## Pro/Con

The main advantage of the median compound over regular compound bows is it's higher resilience and less exposed cables. The disadvantages are it's slightly higher resistance when drawing due to the closeness of the cams and a somewhat higher complexity due to two additional pulleys.

## Trivia

The design for the median compound was made by Matsuo#1877 and i only wrote the lore to fit it.
Sandman

The sandman, also known as a ruin cloud is a kind of chemical weapon commonly deployed by the broadheart as a method of countering both airplanes and airmarines. It was originally used only for countering surface attacks but has since been used against other groups as well.

## Info

The sandman is a cloud like foam that expands and very slowly falls untillit disintegrates. It is formed when two liquid compounds are mixed in an inert tube and released over a large area. Ruin clouds look similar to any clouds though they are more transparent and any tracer rounds fired through them are extinguished.

## Pros/Cons

Though ruin clouds act highly acidically to most non-inert metals which makes them dangerous to most aerial vehicles they are almost harmless to humans unless put into the bloodstream. The time it takes for the sandman to chip through the plane's cover can take a while but the radio on the contrary is often gone in seconds after the wire snaps. A whistle is known to be able to reliably create a smaller gap in clouds and this can also be used for temporarily dispersing ruin clouds.

## Trivia

* Due to radio signal bein severed so quickly in ruin clouds the common name for them has now become sandman. This was an idea that Atris Hayport#5761 came up with!

Star Fortress Assembly

The Surface's Star Fortress Assembly also known as the Star Prison and the God Eye Assembly is an array of 5 guardian eyes, each armed with 5 casting railguns and 14 smaller compounds with varying numbers of different turrets on them with each smaller compound being armed with at least three casting railguns on it. All comounds of the Star fortress are connected by a twelve meter concrete wall that has a walkable pathway on top and a dirt road surrounding it on the outer edge with the inner edge being covered in barbed wire.

The purpose of the Star Prison is to prevent anything from climbing the outskirts and exiting the downfall. Any and all aircraft that have broken radio contact without warning for more then a hour are to be shot down once they pass the upper limiter in order to prevent anyone with smuggled items, a difference or a downfall pathogen from escaping. This only includes Surface aircraft as all other aircraft need a highly specific permission to fly over the outskirts and above the downfall. Such aircraft are not allowed to descend below their pre-determined minimum altitude even if it is far above the upper limiter.
Wire Fortress

Wire Fortress is a project meant to be a 1-5 (probably 3) chapter short story designed as a manga.

This story, set in the mongolian dryland follows the crews of the YN Tungsten Lung, a mobile bunker supertank and a Soviet "Double Gramophone" heavy attack helicopter as they, the last two combat units on the battlefield desparately try to destroy the other based on a promise to be evacuated before their supplies run out. The situation drasticly changes when the crews, now both low on supplies notice that they have been fed lies by their own armies and decide to cooperate to make it back home out of the heart of the abandoned dryland, the Wire Fortress
Eerwood

Eerwood, commonly known as copper beech or copperwood is a type of beech that endemically grows within the downfall, more specifically in the eastern Eer forest. it is a tall hardwood tree that grows relatively quickly compared to a regular beech. The interesting thing about Eer is that it's leaves are yellow in summer, orange in autumn and dark crimson during early winter before they fall. in spring the leaves regrow in a bright green color and stay that way till summer.

Eerwood is fairly puzzling as it's leaves should not be able to photosynthesize during all seasons but spring, however this is not true and it is assumed that the chlorophyll is just located under the yellow, orange or red pigment of the leaves that sunlight can pass through to let the tree photosynthesize.

Due to Eerwood being so common and also being a species of beech its seeds have been used in food production from since the downfall was quarantined. besides being usable as a snack on their own they are also often pressed into what is known as copper lard or eerwood lard.

* bows, crossbows and similar have a category named "String Weapons" because elastic launching device is a lame ass name.
Timberloaf

This common puffball mushroom grows mostly in warm wet forests on tree stumps and logs that are beginning to decompose both inside the sunken quarter and south of it too. The mushroom’s fruibody can grow up to 26 cm horizontally from the stem.

This mushroom is a very popular source of calories for many travelers since it does not take time to be prepared but still has a flavorful taste and pungent peach-like aroma. The mushroom has three main edibility periods in its lifetime. The first one is the period when the mushroom is young, the core with the spores is soft that many describe its consistency similarly to the one of a chunkier pudding. While the outer shell needs a bit of force to be opened neither it nor the inside are edible. In this phase of its life the mushroom can be eaten but only after being slowly warmed up to evaporate excess water and neutralise toxins that the mushroom produces early in its lifetime. This method has been stated by many to be the tastiest way to prepare the mushroom however most people tend to prefer the mushroom in its second stage of growth because of the lack of need for preparation. In the second stage of the mushroom’s lifetime the structure of the mushroom is more soft but the core becomes drier and suddenly grows internal air pockets from the tissue drying up around the core. Most people eat the mushroom in its second stage since not having to waste time preparing a meal is a bonus, and the appeal also increases because the timberloaf looks like bread, tastes sweeter and less sour than in the first stage and is highly nutritious with a fruity aroma included. As the mushroom dies it enters its final stage where it starts producing spores and dries up inside leaving a fragile frame of thin strips of completely dried flesh that are attached to the dried “core” of the mushroom. Now the mushroom is filled with a thick cloud of indigo blue spores that are dry and ready to grow into new mushrooms. At this point the peach aroma of the timberloaf can be smelled from quite far away and it often attracts wild animals from all around to it. Most animals try to flip the mushroom around to find the last edible part (thin stem’s base) and consume it. After the base of the stem has been consumed the mushroom’s internal dried flesh strips slowly break from the core causing the mushroom to burst from pressure and spread its spores all around the forest.

In cooking timberloaf is often used as a side dish that is eaten with broad bounty ramen and it can also be used to prepare faux peach pudding by simply being heated up almost to a boil.
Dw1 "Spinner"

The Dw1 (NATO reporting name "Mockingbird") is the first aircraft built by the Dryagin-Weaver company to enter mass production and is by many considered to be the first mass produced trainer aircraft of the downfall. The Dw1's purpose was to be used as a trainer aircraft that would help pilots get used to the feel of a canard plane without risking a pilot's/ (and more importantly) expensive plane's safety. It was specifically designed in a way that does not hide or greatly improve some of it's canard configuration related flaws such as poor stall performance, longer takeoff run and tendency to groundlock in order to help pilots get used to handling these issues when flying other canard planes of varying roles.

## Info

The Dw1's performance is greatly dependent on it's speed and altitude. The Dw1 is naturally stable however it's stability greatly rises with it's speed, sadly this is hard to take advantage of as the plane has no hydraulics and relies on the pilot's strength to control it making the plane lock up whenever above it's maximum cruise speed. As for altitude the Spinner tends to work the best at low altitudes as low air density greatly decreases it's stability. The Dw1 got the nickname "Spinner" due to novice pilots flying above it's maximum altitude of 4000 Meters Below CB and thus entering a flat spin. These accidents were common though thankfully resulted in only a few casualties as the planes would naturally level out after falling lower.

Far Before the Fade

Far Before the Fade is the story for what is supposed to be an interactive visual novel with arcady air combat elements. The gameplay is supposed to include many branching paths and a combat system where both win conditions and lose conditions drive the story in different direcrions.

Wichart Hoeflich known as Nitre by his squadmates is an aircraft weapon specialist aboard the daybreaker's flagship hollowgate. His laid-back nature and generally happy personality are all a mask for a secret he had been hiding from everyone for a while: he has an illness that is going to kill him in just a single month. Determined to live out his life to it's fullest in his squadron he does not confess his love to Risah, a combat pilot with the nickname Charcoal as not to hurt her when he eventually passes away. His last month begins with him having an opportunity to save a Ward pilot, later realising it was the somewhat popular ace pilot nicknamed Strekoza only to see a plane of the same markings tear through Charcoal's pinwheel in a battle a few days later. Devastated, Nitre begins plotting to kill Strekoza in hopes of avenging Risah. How will the journey to avenge the person he cared for so much end when Nitre has to cover for his crew's weaknesses with more and more drastic sacirfices? Will he truly be able to avenge Charcoal after crawling so far away from the fade just to kill a single pilot who he knows not the name of?
Boastu

Boastu mushrooms are inedible mushrooms that grow in the northern roadwoods in the downfall and all across the northern Overgarden.

Boastu mushrooms are not usable in any way as neither the mushroom nor it's spores have any particular trait, with it's only known use being decorative as it's several caps make it an interesting dried ornament.
Relic (aircraft)

A relic, often referred to as an old world fighter is the name used to describe any non abudent or out-of-production military aircraft from the surprisingly short golden age of modern aviation after world war II. Generally speaking relics were created between 1963. and 1970.
Most aircraft from after that age had a large decrease in complexity and quality for simplicity of production following Neustarten. The relics that remain from after Neustarten are considered quite valuable across the world as they quite often outclass most 1970's aircraft.

Relics are extremely sought after in the Downfall as they can keep up with most Surface fighters obtained through leases and donations though the lack of parts and high upkeep makes not only their sighting but also airworthiness quite rare.
Marrania Reds Nuclear Plant Array

Marrania Reds was a complex of 7 steam turbine uranium fueled nuclear reactors located southwest of Chicago. It was built during the middle of the war in 1953. to help with supplying nearby production plants with power.

During the short time at which it was fully operational it was unable to majorly change the tide of battle.

Marrania Reds was destroyed in 24. 8. 1957. During the Uranium Noon ending it's short service life.
Wingorge

Also known as bat ear mushrooms, these fungi are a common inhabitant of the downfall. They often cover large surfaces and are, surprisingly, edible. The problem is that wingorges are not very nutritious even if their slight umami taste tricks you into believing otherwise. They are, however, used in the aircraft manufacture industry as their spores are a part of almost every broadheart plane survival kit. These mushrooms are capable of growing to maturity on almost any semi nutritious surface in a span of two days, and they take 12 hours to reach an edible, harvest ready state. For this reason wingorges are grown on sunken planes and airmarines so that the stranded pilots need to use their emergency rations twice as slowly as they would without the shrooms in their diet.
