+## Story
+- some sort of magic/alchemy in the world
+	- maybe similar to a darker shade of magic series
+- humans have learned how to harness this magic, but it comes at a steep cost
+	- humans harness with some sort of machine or nonmagical device
+- magic is not meant to be used like this
+- something is starting to go wrong in the world
+
+
+- at some point humans discover very powerful artifacts that give them strange powers
+- there are few of these artifacts and those who get them use them to conquer and dominate the world around them
+- 5 of these artifacts exist and each modern-day nation is build around one of them
+	- Artifacts are now idolized by each nation and everyone looks up to the power that they give
+	- It turns out they require great sacrifice to function and this has been hidden
+- after long period of war and unrest things have finally settled down for a while and artifacts are largely acting as nuclear deterrents of war
+- things start happening (not sure yet) that end up being the existence of another artifact that is more powerful than the others
+	- A sixth artifact was created (more backstory for this later) and things start going wrong because there can only be five
+	- The group that created the sixth artifact is now trying to start war and destroy one of the nations and their artifact to gain power
+		- The group on its own is not very powerful so they are trying to incite war in order to eliminate one of the other nations
+	- 
+- Should character be more generic and standard hero or more witha. backstory
+	- probably with a backstory since it makes the overall story more interesting
+	- Should have a pretty clear character design and background then
+
+### Elements I want in world
+- Some sort of magic
+	- Doesn't have to be super widespread, can just be some sort of powerful artifacts
+	- could be something more like alchemy or something else magic-adjacent
+- Generally fantasy setting
+- Maybe some sort of alternate power system?
+	- Steampunk, solarpunk etc.
+- Game can be partially based around you not playing the "hero"
+	- Play as a pretty normal person with no magical ability, have to end up fighting a lot of people that have magic and defeat them with sword/weapon
+
+### Slightly new idea
+- world was pretty normal (medieval-ish, fantasy vibes) until one day something was found (maybe artifact, decide later when more lore is finalized)
+- After this day (give name, "the awakening" etc.) most people started being born with magical abilities
+	- most people had pretty weak magical skills and could only do one thing (maybe elements, ideally some other system)
+	- those who had more powerful skills or had the ability for more than one quickly rose to the top and formed an elite class of (dual wielders? duelists? )
+	- Some are not born with magic, and the player is one of those people
+		- this class is relegated to the bottom of society and essentially forced to do manual labor
+		-
