The swirling chaos of the World of Depleted is fraught with perils on all sides. Chief among them is the clashing factions that war over the remnants of the world. From the clashes between the vicious American anti-Tech Neo-Palidins to the European pro-Tech tribal Tekothik, to the battles between the brutal N.I.R. of Spain and the shrouded cloistered Order of the Steel Rood, there are few places that still aren’t be torn up. (In the former United States, there are even two factions of self-styled Confederate southerners who war to see who really are the TRUE Sons of the South.)
