Notes:

-[Artemis: Advanced Reconnaissance and Tactical Environmental Monitoring Initiative Syndicate: A very totalitarian organization, its structure founded on traditionalist ideals. One of the largest factions, in control of most remaining cities in the US.

A.R.T.E.M.I.S, more commonly known as Artemis or ARTEMIS, is the name of a syndicate led by President Sterling Kane and powered by ambitions to restore the United States to their previous glory - and beyond it.

Artemis is known for its strict, harshly enforced, rules for civilians and soldiers, being highly contrastive with the debauched nature of some of its policies, such as the “Regeneratio” or “Regen” program, the “Anima Subsidio” or “AS” program, the people being called “Anima Persona” or “APs”, or even the general acceptance of public sex.

Sterling has generally particle views, as revealed in ARTEMIS. The Goddess Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, nature, vegetation, childbirth, care of children, and chastity; ARTEMIS takes the aforementioned characteristics more seriously concerning women but tends to include the others in most other aspects.

In fact, their beliefs tend to be that they are the only remaining civilized people in the world.]

-[The Apex Consortium (Apex): A faction exploiting the weak under the guise of progress. Apex claims to drive innovation and societal rebuilding but employs ruthless monopolization and subjugation. Its leaders justify these actions as "necessary sacrifices" for their utopian vision, where only the strong thrive. Technically under ARTEMIS, Apex disregards its rules, exemplified by practices like hiring women for roles beyond reproduction. Apex functions as a militarized force without civilians, comparable to military or police structures. Membership requires adherence to strict criteria, though gender is not a barrier. Apex operates with three main ranks:

Officers: Standard members.

Decorated Officers: Higher rank, capable of substituting other ranks.

Meridians: Top commanders, akin to generals.]

-[The Black Sun: The Black Sun is symbolized by an eclipsed sun or a circled center with jagged rays, representing balance in chaos and renewal through pragmatism and adaptation. Unaligned with any major faction, the Black Sun prioritizes individual liberty, survival, and knowledge over larger ideological or political struggles. Viewing the post-apocalyptic world as irredeemable, they seek personal growth and autonomy, avoiding traditional systems of power. Their motto, "In the shadows, we thrive," reflects their belief in subtlety and resilience over confrontation. Neutral in factional conflicts, the Black Sun focuses on building networks, gathering knowledge, and hoarding resources to ensure survival while manipulating situations for their benefit. This neutrality and secrecy foster distrust, with rumors branding them as spies, mercenaries, or opportunists profiting from chaos—though no proof exists. Their founder, Mara Kline, an ex-ARTEMIS intelligence officer, shaped their emphasis on survival and discretion. Little is known about her past, but her expertise guides the faction’s enigmatic and self-reliant nature.]

-[The Shardlight Path-goers: The Shardlight Path-goers, also known as the Striders, are an insular cult that shuns all remnants of the pre-apocalyptic world, believing outsiders to be unclean and tainted. They adhere to a twisted interpretation of Religio Romana beliefs, living in a small, walled commune where they practice extreme rituals such as cannibalism during times of starvation or holy ceremonies and view blood-drinking as a sacred and intimate act, even more profound than sex. Led by their prophet Jupiter, the cult assigns Roman god and goddess names to its members, with planetary deity names like Jupiter reserved for their most powerful figures. They sustain their numbers by stealing children from survivalists or ARTEMIS breeding facilities, perpetuating their beliefs through indoctrination and ritual.]

-[Bonepickers: Bonepickers, also known as "vultures," are survivalists who exist outside the major factions of the post-apocalyptic world. They are often loners, living in small family units or, in rare cases, larger nomadic tribes. These groups are highly decentralized, with most Bonepickers traveling the desolate roads or seeking shelter in underground bunkers. The mobility and fluidity of their lifestyle reflect a rejection of the rigid hierarchies found in larger factions. Despite their resourcefulness, Bonepickers are seen as outcasts by the dominant factions, particularly by A.R.T.E.M.I.S., whose propaganda portrays them as thieves, murderers, and cowards. A.R.T.E.M.I.S. seeks to discredit them, emphasizing their lawless nature and labelling them as destabilizing forces. This portrayal ensures Bonepickers remain marginalized and mistrusted, even though they have mastered survival in a harsh, chaotic world. Their ability to live outside the control of larger factions makes them a unique and often feared group.]
