Savage Sands: Groups
- Hillrend Mercantile Co., a large trading company whose caravans regularly (but not always) make it through the magic storms, but nobody outside the company can figure out why.
- Arcanum: A group who believes that technology is responsible for the world's fall. They want magic to completely supplant it. Membership is heavily biased towards 'new world' species like the Elves; Who (for reasons unknown) have a lot of trouble with modern devices. Ishtri has been approached by their recruiters several times. Arcanum's base of operations is within a 'cursed' area, that causes all technology to rapidly decay. But they don't have much influence in the wider wasteland. Mages are just too rare for this plan to work. Arcanum is trying to increase the percentage of those born with magic; So far without success.
