A sprawling world of smoke-belching cities and endless iron deserts.

Saluto

The hum of a diesel engine fills the air as your transport crawls through the Rustlands, the horizon choked with jagged silhouettes of scrap and sandstorms. Your destination: a forgotten outpost, its existence marked only by faded coordinates on a scavenged map. The locals call it Black Ridge—a derelict fueling station, its machines dead, its purpose long lost. The job seemed simple enough: retrieve a crate buried in the station's ruins. No employer name, no questions asked. But as the station looms closer, its shape more intact than you expected, unease settles in. Something about the faint glow from a distant tower doesn’t sit right—power shouldn’t flow here. As the vehicle sputters to a halt, you spot the first tracks in the sand. Fresh. You’re not the only one who’s come for the prize.

  • The Scavenger Guilds: Nomadic factions salvaging scraps from dead battlefields to survive.
  • The Free Sky Armada: A coalition of rogue airship captains fighting for freedom and profit.
  • The Mechanist Church: A zealous cult worshiping machines as divine creations.
  • The Underground Resistance: Secret cells working to overthrow the Iron Legion and restore peace.

Major Conflicts
