Iron Prayer

Iron Prayer is a 33-episode iDrama short drama. Two hundred years ago, relentless human pollution and reckless core‑drilling exploitation awakened the planetary consciousness — the **Gaia Core**. It birthed the **Sentinel Beasts** to repel humanity. The remnants of mankind fled to floating fortress **The Ark**, ruled under the theocratic iron fist of Cardinal Ignatius. The church demonizes the Sentinel Beasts as unclean abominations and deploys mecha squadrons to hunt them down. Beneath The Ark’s foundations, drilling operations continue to siphon planetary‑core energy. Unbeknownst to most, this endless extraction erodes the planet’s very foundation, hastening its inevitable collapse. A small fraction of humans are born with **Resonance Power**, granting them mental attunement to the Sentinel Beasts and Gaia’s collective consciousness. Labeled “Divine‑Touched” by the church, these gifted individuals have been captured throughout generations and sacrificed to preserve the regime’s stability.
