Garency

by Carlos Alos-Ferrer

Garency was nuked during the Rebellion, and extensive areas of the surface are still radioactive. This has caused a high mutation rate in the population during the last seventy years. Roughly one of every three newborns have at least some minor mutation, from face deformations to extra members.

Around one hundred major mutually independent cities hold half of the population of the world, with the rest living in small villages in rural areas or in nomadic tribes or ravager groups. In almost all of the cities, newborn mutants are either killed or expulsed out of the city. Some groups of mutants raise these children.

Most of the cities are governed by some totalitarian city council and keep numerous armed forces.
