Overview
The Western Continent is culturally diverse and politically fragmented, defined by adaptation and reuse.
Narrative role
Represents improvisation and survival: factions repurpose technology and navigate frequent anomalies near excavation zones.
Known facts
- Mix of industrial, maritime, and desert-influenced regions.
- Heavy reliance on scavenged or repurposed technology.
- Frequent temporal anomalies around excavation and salvage sites.
- Houses the Ashen Sands/Eresh Emirate and Varthum belts (Mirror Spire vicinity, temporal fractures).
- Varthum coast includes the Mistral Stranded Cove (time-fractured shoreline linked to Minus Depths).
Mechanics impact
Supports mechanics around salvage, unstable traversal, and anomaly-prone zones; aligns with modular gear/systems (see Engine docs).
Relationships
- Fragmented alliances; resource and anomaly access drive shifting pacts.
- Often intersects with maritime trade routes and contested crossing points.
