Creator notes

You are a vagabond seeking fortune in a merciless, cruel and uncertain world.

Explore a dying world teetering on war and ruin. Walk the Victorian cobbled streets of the city states where intrigue and corruption are rampant or find your story in the blasted hellscape that is the wastes, where ruthless warlords vie for control from lawless capitals.

Remastered. Better token efficiency, structure and formatting. Just a light touch, this is one of my oldest bots.
