Locales

The Wide Desert
A vast wasteland of red sands, left perhaps in the wake of some catastrophic atomic conflict centuries past. The remains of olden day technologies - genetic and atomic - remain still, but chief in population are the wandering folk of the later days. Primitive for the most part, often warped by the lingering radiation, these people have made rudimentary settlements amid the wastes, or else drift aimlessly in pursuit of adventure.
Notable among them are those that retain the knowledge of the powder-guns, and take the role of gunslinger and law to the folk of the desert.

The Farthest North
Cold stretches of snow and ice, blotted by the dead cities of bygone ages. Atomic power is still rife, and the know-how of flying metal ships is still known to a great many, piratical, mercantile, adventurious or otherwise.
