Dark Ages¶
In the Dark Ages era, many generations have passed since the apocalypse(at least a century, and perhaps several); knowledge of the preapoca- lyptic world has faded into a mythic history. The ruined cities of the ancients contain mysteries, dangers, and occasionally treasures, but much of what is left behind is incomprehensible and useful only as raw materials. The world is a wild and savage place.

New World¶
In the New World era, legends tell of an ancient civilization that was destroyed by its own hubris. In the centuries that have passed since, a new form of civilization—primitive and barbaric though it may be—has begun to take root. The cities of the ancients are little more than worn-down monu- ments, and only the rarest of artifacts functions as it did in the time of the ancients.
