Exploration works very literally: at the start of the game, Characters – as well as usually their Players – do not know much about what lies beyond the horizon. At the end of an introductory arc, they will be given strong reasons to leave wherever they are and start exploring.

Then, during a long campaign of travels – in active play as well as in downtimes – the Players will collect information about the world: physical maps as well as written hooks and secrets about the world. They subsequently can use these to shape their route through the world according to their own agendas.

The post-historic world the Characters will explore is fractured into many seemingly independent and very different parts, displaying various degrees of sophistication (or lack thereof) in the areas of societal organization, technology or access to the supernatural.

  

Despite this seeming compartmentalisation, as they explore, the secret history of the Omega Earth will be revealed to the Characters bit-by-bit – providing deep lore connections as well as a warning about future dangers that will shape the late campaign.
