World of Empyria
Empyria is a personal IP where I practiced writing, drawing and animation, putting my passions to it.
In this world, a massive, empty robotic city called Empyria continues to expand, relentlessly devouring its surroundings, leaving only a few resources for the rest of the world. Remote civilizations, the last remaining, fight each other for the dwindling resources:
These are the swift soldiers of Creta, who benefit from having an Epyrean robot as an ally, and the dragon engineers of Drachma, who can’t survive far from the volcano's heat. However, their time is running out as they will soon be consumed by Empyria, and thus, they seek ways to ascend to the stars, mostly by looking at their buried ancient past.
