It was said that if you didn’t die there, the darkness would swallow you up

The terrain of Heart of Darkness, aka/code named “HOD” was almost entirely exposed, a vast stretch of open land broken only by shallow hills and flat steppes. With no dense forests or deep ravines to provide cover, every movement was visible across the horizon. This forced armies into entrenched positions, echoing the great wars of humans of the early 20th century: long, grinding battles where defensive lines stretched for miles and direct assaults became costly and brutal. The lack of natural barriers magnified the importance of artillery, ranged fire, and technological superiority, transforming the battlefield into a deadly contest of endurance rather than maneuver.

The battles unfolded as they did precisely because the land offered no concealment and no easy routes for flanking. Every offensive was met with devastating counterfire, turning the region into a drawn-out stalemate where progress was measured in meters, not miles. The ground itself became a graveyard of machines and soldiers, layer upon layer of plastic remains embedding into the soil.

This stretch of land, the largest in the Plastic World, was the scene of the end of the Great Army Men War, and the beginning and end of the Tanic-Greeno conflicts. Many other battles and skirmishes at other points in time also took place here, but none as important as those mentioned.

Even today, Heart of Darkness carries the scars of that era. The terrain remains littered with plastic wreckage, relics of the Tanic–Greeno War. For the last twenty years, recycling efforts have slowly reclaimed sections of the battlefield, yet the land still speaks of its past: vast, open, and unforgiving, a monument to the most relentless struggles of the war.
