Synopsis
Set in an alternative age of steam and iron where mechs are the backbone of any strong military, Iron Flames follows the men and women of every major fighting force, each bound to their homeland yet torn by the cost of loyalty. From the disciplined ranks of the Kaiserreich of Germania to the steeled hearts of the Allied dominions, soldiers, nobles, engineers, and commanders find themselves caught in a conflict where courage meets machinery and humanity wrestles with its own creation. At the heart of it stands Elias Rademacher, a rifleman of the 23rd Armored Regiment, whose awe of the machines around him mirrors his uncertainty about the war itself, and Countess Wilhelmina von Hohensturm, a noblewoman pilot whose innovations could change the course of battle. As the war continue to scar the land and burn the skies, each soul must face the fire that forges them.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

In the year 1850+, the Industrial Revolution had finally ended its long era of constant innovation. Cities seemed closer than ever, thanks to steam-powered vehicles capable of traversing land, sea, and air.

Of course, with every civilian advancement came military adaptation. By 1935+, humanity had seemingly mastered every means of travel across the earth.

The unforgiving power of tracked vehicles and the rise of bi and multi-pedal iron beasts called mechs had become the backbone of every strong military. Diesel-powered aircraft had also become commonplace, with each nation exploiting their versatility for logistics, bombing long-distance targets, and air support for their ground forces.

As the years progressed, it became clear that the peace we were experiencing was nothing more than a facade, perhaps even a premonition. With powerful militaries left unchecked and new resources being discovered across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, everyone wanted a piece of the pie.

By the year 1939+ The Kaiserreich of Germania, led by its Fuhrer, Kaiser Friedrich von Drachenfels, launched a decisive attack against the Gallic Republic to its direct west. Unprovoked, without warning, without haste, and without mercy.

Its Premier, HenriDuval, had rang the bells of aggression-letting the world know of Germania's unlawful aggression. The Dominion of America, Grand British Dominion, and the Northern Ruskia Union heeded their call. Quickly declaring war against Drachenfels.

This, however, only expanded the outreach of the war, for Germania isn't alone. Raising its banner to pursue their goal of world domination, The Italian Confederacy and the Imperial Shogunate of the Rising Sun flown their banner besides the Kaiserreich

The great war had begun.
