People, people, people.
With S&M now depicting the events that followed the collapse of the Republic and the establishment of Occidentia, so-called 'Old Worlders' are an increasingly common sight, at least in urban centers.
While referenced, they went entirely unseen during the earlier builds of S&M, and the published build of The Mirror Eater. Seems it wasn't the easiest thing to get a visa to visit Sakutakinaks.
Through the eyes of Jensey, you'll encounter a handful of Old Worlders, each with differing, incompatible interests in the region. As always, mankind refuses to be monolithic.
