FACTION 05 — REMNANTS
LEMURIANS
Controlled Decay — formation-dependent income; every ability use costs something permanent; fragile frontline that hits hard before itself crumbles.
RESOURCE — RESONANCE
Formation-dependent — generated by adjacency between friendly units. No banking.
Lemurians generate income from formation density. Every ability use applies a permanent Fracture token that degrades their Defense over time. They hit hard and erode the enemy's stats before themselves crumbling.
HISTORY
Lemuria was the oldest civilization on Earth. It sank ~23,000–27,000 years ago in what is called the Schism. What remains are Remnants — island networks maintaining what they can of a resonance web that was once global.
