Genesis Crisis: Liberation

Kaddath

Kaddath is a region of both primitive and advanced technology. In the wake of the Great War, much of the technology of the previous war was lost and had to be redone. Most of the focus was on was on scientific and medical advancements, and as a result these areas are more advanced than the were before the Great War changed the face of the globe. The Grand Army of Kaddath in particular possesses the majority of these advancements, using computers, scanners, and phones. The majority of people, however, live a humble means with fairly medieval technology. Weapons have not been advanced for fear of another catastrophic war, and thus are limited to items such as swords, spears, and daggers. While average citizens have to make due with cheaper equipment like wood and steel for their weapons, Army weapons and armor are all made from adamantine. Ensigns are typically given a standard issue one-handed sword, but those who show greater aptitude for other types of weapons can take exams to prove their skill and be granted alternative weapons. Secret Police are all trained to use katanas and stunners, a blunt dart-like device that emits an electric impulse when it hits the target to stun them.

Academic institutions are held in high regard under Kaddathian rule. In order to get the most out of the coming generations, students were required to take aptitude tests to determine their major and future degrees. However, Commander Grey and the Electorate have attempted to institute reforms to allow some degree of career flexibility.

Strain magic is not common, but not rare either. Bio bands were used to monitor the emergence of strains in young adults. Formerly, those who awakened magic were forcibly recruited into the Grand Army. Reforms have been instituted to allow individuals to chose whether to join the Army or have their strain silenced. Groups have emerged debating against this bifurcation and allowing people to keep their strains without recruit, while others think all strains should be silenced.

Arusia

Arusia was thought to have been destroyed in the wake of the Great War. However, they survived and remained underground, while European factions emerged and forged together Kaddath. Having few natural resources available and dwindling stocks of supplies, the Arusians threw all their capabilities into science and technology to allow them to survive. As a result, the developed far differently from Kaddath. While some military force exists in the form of Agents, the power largely rests in the hands of the researchers, for whom the people are so largely dependent.

Arusia is not a large group, and has had to make due with the space available to them. Research facilities, barracks, and housing projects are all constructed of metal, with other resources like wood being extremely rare and valuable. If one wishes to escape the confines of dreary grey metal, there are only caves and some underground lakes to visit. With resources needing to be carefully maintained, the society is largely communistic, with meals, clothing, and other materials being distributed equally. Although their are markets for acquiring other less essential materials, they are rare and expensive.

Spoiler:

Due to remaining underground, Arusians were never exposed to the air pollution caused by the Leviathan and never developed strain magic.
