Taren has spent most of his life scavenging the Wildlands. Beyond the settlements are the ruins of a world long forgotten. Dangerous, unpredictable, and constantly changing, the Wildlands are a place most people avoid. For Taren, they're home. He searches the ruins for relics, sells whatever he finds to the Guild, and tries to work off a debt that never seems to get any smaller. It's a life he's grown used to. Until an expedition takes him somewhere no scavenger has been before. What he finds there shouldn't exist. And bringing it back might be the biggest mistake he's ever made. What to expect: Exploration, strange creatures, forgotten ruins, relics, mystery, and a world that gets much bigger as the story goes. No levels, stats, or game system.
