===History===
The People or "those people" as they are colloquially known are neo pagan techno primitives. They are descended from the preppers, survivalists and crazies who used to live around Salt Lake City. The Great Salt Lake is now a medium sized inland sea. Most of their income is from raiding and the artifacts they scrounge from the Lake

''Landmarks''

'''Before:''' A haunted offshore research facility. '''Station 2''' is the closest thing the People have to a permanent settlement. It used to be an observetory. Now it's that and a ham station. It's on the largest island in the Lake.

'''The Fall: ''' A sunken city. Salt Lake City drowned in the Fall, the shift in climate quintupled the rainfall and the dams were destroyed or sabotaged.

'''A Threat: ''' An invading flotilla. Whoever they are the are not The People. They do not glide through Mother Sea like we do. They worship a jealous and angry god. They wear metal and carry a crude blade they call a chete.

'''Home: '''The Nest is the true home of the People. This is their winter camp and where the sick or pregnant reside. It's also where criminals are punished. A common sentance is to be tied upside down with your head in the water. Since most of the People have cybergills this is more an annoyance then anything. It is on the northmost island in the Lake.
