Chapter XIII Those that remain use every scrap of flesh, metal,
and ingenuity in a desperate bid to squeeze one more
drop of life out of existence, holing themselves up
behind towering walls and ancient cities, and waging
a war that drains resources as fast as they can be
stripped from the dead.
Before the shards, there wasn’t hope enough to be
salvaged to fill the hearts of a single group of souls

held the leash of the people, and the wretched beasts
that still survived prowled the shoars of every oasis
or hid deep within deep canyons and chasms, hiding
from the wind and oppressive suns.
Two cities managed to retain some semblance of
order while the others fell to cruel chaos and crueler
men. The first was Salak, which was really more of a
mage’s tower of spires and the “city” that sprung up
around it was more of an afterthought. The mage,

High Redlords sit instead atop the highest spire and
command the gathered hosts. Their rule is absolute,
which may be the only reason the city still exists,
but it steps over any lines of decency and sits solidly
in the realm of tyrannical. It is they who first tamed
the great beasts, grinding the dinosaur’s feet in the
dust as they packed their backs with armored troops
hellbent on scouring the wasteland for remaining
supplies.
The other city, Hardoon, isn’t much better. Ruled
by the Council of Six, it consists of towering walls
that surround what was almost certainly once a
sprawling monastery. Other than the wall, the other
key resource Hardoon holds is a great lake that is
likely the final remaining large body of water. The
