THE "REDACTED" CONSPIRACY

“Ceasefire in Ruins: Assassinations, Betrayal, and the Fall of United Sky Castle?”

What began as a moment of hope quickly spiraled back into chaos. Just days after a fragile ceasefire was declared between the United Sky Castle (USC) and the White Horse Alliance (WHA), both clans sent envoys to mediate peace talks a historic step toward ending months of bloodshed.

​

But the talks never fully concluded. In an unprecedented and shocking twist, both envoy teams were assassinated at the negotiation site by an unknown group, shattering the fragile truce. The killings immediately reignited tensions, as both sides accused each other of orchestrating the attack while simultaneously scrambling to identify the mysterious perpetrators.

​

Skirmishes broke out across the region as suspicion turned into open conflict. What followed was a descent into renewed warfare — one that would expose darker truths lurking beneath the surface.

Investigations during the renewed fighting uncovered disturbing intelligence: senior members of the USC high command had secretly begun developing a biological weapon, codenamed Project: Hellfire. The revelation split the USC’s leadership in two — some advocating for conventional warfare to as to not pollute the remaining resources, while others pushed forward with the bioweapon, believing it the only path to victory.

​

Sources within WHA intelligence allege that in an effort to conceal this illicit program, rogue elements of USC’s upper ranks contracted a mercenary group to assassinate the envoys and reignite hostilities — effectively using renewed war as a justification of using Project: Hellfire.

​

The deception began to unravel when WHA strike teams successfully infiltrated a USC garrison at the central market, uncovering evidence of the conspiracy. In a desperate attempt to erase all traces, USC command authorized a devastating airstrike on the very site — killing not only WHA attackers but also their own troops stationed there.

​

The fallout was immediate and catastrophic. Survivors of the strike, horrified by their own leadership’s actions, defected from USC ranks and joined forces with the White Horse Alliance, denouncing the use of bioweapons and the betrayal of their comrades.

​

With trust shattered and the ceasefire in ashes, the 100 Mile region once again finds itself on the brink of total war, not between two enemies, but between truth and deception.
