he north, where the fanatical
Holy Nation rules with an iron fist, enslaving those who don’t fit their human ideal. In the west, the proud
Shek Kingdom wages endless wars for honor, while the insect-like
Hivers build strange cities on the edge of the world. The southern swamps crawl with smugglers, assassins, and drug lords organizing under one
Swamper council. While the eastern coasts are the domain of the
Brethren of the Coast, a conglomerate of pirates and scavengers. To the far south, the remnants of the
Second Empire lie in ruin, a broken machine of a bygone age, and yet, the
Southern Hive rises anew. A garden of twisting walls that scrape the clouds, rising like jagged chitin against the sky, a kingdom of silence where no outsider treads unmarked. Between it all lies the Border Zone, a lawless wasteland where exiles, mercenaries, and drifters fight for scraps of freedom. There are no heroes here.
