What is Cloud Empress?
Cloud Empress is an expansive, Nausicaa-inspired fantasy campaign setting for the tabletop roleplaying game Mothership. Cloud Empress imagines the far future ruled by the patterns of giant psychic cicadas.
In Summer, the Imago (giant cicadas) rise in great numbers to feed on the bones of the dead. Monks and villagers dry corpses in huge burial mounds to satisfy their hunger. A few hundred Imago are spotted each summer, but once in a hundred years, the Century Brood appears. Tens of thousands of Imago climb from deep soil and reduce the land to rubble. Now the Century Brood has been unearthed and the Cloud Empress has gone missing.
Find a way to thrive, live, and love in the psychic wreckage of Earth among the junk of ancient people who abandoned it.
