To normal citizens, little is known about the endless Wasteland that begins just beyond the borders of civilized society. To many, this sparsely populated expanse is synonymous with romantic ideals of freedom and unbounded imagination. Reasonable people know it to be largely untrue, and the Wasteland is rife with danger and contain little of interest, no more than your familiar city-border shantytown can offer. And if one really wants to travel it, there are job openings in the Guild, Academy and other organizations, allowing you to fulfill your dreams while doing constructive work.
However not many know or believe in the great evils that plague the most dangerous parts of the Wasteland: the notorious Narlock and Lokk'Naar tribes, the worst barbarians of all, grown rich on crime, and indulging in every villainy imaginable, like cannibalism, ritual child rape, human sacrifice and torture. These traits are shared by various mercenaries they employ, chief amongst them the little-known and horrendously mutated Ubers, through whose veins runs insanity, making them completely devoid of morality or respect for life.
