Welcome to Ashland, a world forged by survival, belief, and the choices we make.

Each nation has its own style, strengths, and weaknesses. For Ashland to survive, we must all learn to work together.

What does our future look like?

Philosophers, artists, scientists, and storytellers have wrestled with that question since the dawn of civilization. The Ashland Chronicles offers one vision of what might emerge if our modern, technology-driven world collapsed and humanity was forced to begin again.

In the aftermath, which systems rise to power? Who controls resources? Do societies choose cooperation over conflict—or repeat the same cycles that led to ruin? And when survival is no longer guaranteed, which values endure?

The Ashland Chronicles explores these questions through story, character, and conflict—across a fractured world shaped by survival, belief, and choice.
