The stories passed down about the Great War and all the wondrous technology of your ancestors sounds to you like fairy tales and magic. You struggle enough just to survive and avoid starvation, not to mention the Geckos and Radscorpions. Your tribe might have survived by being remote, or by staying on the move, and treating outsiders with a healthy dose of fear or hostility. Now, something's changed. Maybe the slavers finally caught up with your people and you escaped? Or maybe you've been purposefully exiled to fulfill some ancient, arcane prophecy? Either way, you've left the tribe behind and ventured out to find your place in what passes for civilization these days.",
