REPOST OF THE ORIGINAL THREAD I ACCIDENTALLY FUCKED UP WHILE CREATING IT
In all honesty, I’m quite surprised i’d still be writing this fanfiction of mine for well over 2 years. I’ll admit i’m quite impressed by seeing my own progress overtime; which i’ve underestimated numerous times in the past (and to a degree, still do somewhat).
Besides, there’s still much more on my part of this passion project of mine, i’m yet to figure it out eventually…

Let’s start simple, take Astoria shortly before reforming into the grand navy as an example. It’s hard to imagine them NOT using posters as an unseen yet obvious way to have people join their ranks- at least this is the case on my end.
Here’s two of many examples as references, showing you how it may look like:
looks like I forgot I left this thread open here.
Anyways, if you’re that curious about why I left this thread here in the first place, it’s largely rooted to both curiosity of this part of the broader community, and joining other parts of said community.
Besides, here’s another thing regarding the Sideroverse:
(My deep passion of learning history, especially starting around the time AO is set, to the early 20th century had lead me to create this) However, in the Sideroverse, these are uniforms issued more than a century after the events of Arcane Odyssey.

Sometimes I wonder what’s truly on my mind whenever it comes to the Sideroverse’s worldbuilding, granted there’s tons of really fucked up stuff happening here and there. Which I doubt will not break the ToS if I explicitly state full details.
Another example of in-universe being propaganda antagonizing King Nero following the Winterveil extermination, a given example looking something like this (image is cropped out due to explicit details in the full image):
Another example, this time fast forwards towards the Keraxi-Sameria wars, making Wotan look like the physical embodiment of ultra-imperialism and ultranationalism, again, referencing Kaiser Wilhelm II:
With a gasmask on, they look like monstrosities from another world.
But once it’s off of their faces…
It’s another one of many young men fighting for their lives to survive a conflict of unimaginable scale, scarred by what atrocities he’s witnessed and committed.

Raphael Archambeau was among the many foreign volunteers of Normandie within the grand navy’s 8th Fleet operating the Maginot Garrison bordered between the marauding sea and Chimera Sea established between the Corsair War and Fomorian War.
Archambeau is a young man born and raised in Le Grand Duché de Normandie under both Astorian protection and Thornish dominion, he was held in regard towards his passion into becoming a combat medic within the grand navy, and served under the Normandean medical brigades integrated into the 88th Division present at the Maginot Garrison during the early onset of the Fomorian War which had seen some of the bloodiest battles from both involved parties alike.
