Humans of the Famin

The humans here are much like the humans of our own world, but the society has just recovered from a devastating event called the Unraveling so the technology isn't as advance as it once was or could be. It is reliant on steam and crystals to power the clockworks they create. The different cities, towns and settlements each have different access to the available technology but most rely on Power crystals that grow along lei lines and in the border lands surrounding Unraveled areas to power their devices and homes. The technology is on the level of Steam Punk   Humans are unable to enter the Unraveled areas without becoming sick, though some are said to be trying to create a method to allow humans access to these area. Most people, however, avoid them and go about their day to day lives. Some try to find ways to profit form the Unraveled areas, by finding rare animals that may have been changed when exposed to these areas or find lost technology, abandoned when human kind was forced to evacuate. None have succeeded.   About 50 years after the Unraveling, humans started finding these strange crystals actually growing from the ground. They had strange properties and produced energy that could be harnessed. Strangely they grew along lines that people began calling lei-lines. Farms and cities grew around these formations and society was able to pick itself up and put the pieces that had been broken and scattered since the Unraveling. It was soon after that found that border lands surrounding Unraveled areas had greater and higher quality of crystal growths. 50 years after the first crystal was discovered, humans finally migrated back to the Famin desert surrounding the Rapar, the largest Unraveled area with the best crystals found ever. Now the city Famir has been established and has been thriving for over 100 years.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Diet is much like ours: fruit, meat, vegetables, grains, etc.. Though large grocery stores are a thing of the past. People have to hunt, or grow their own food for the most part. When hunting they use bow and arrows, or hunting riffles. The Famin is not a great place to farm, with it being a desert, so most of the food for the city Famir is imported from outside the desert by merchants.
