Factions
Bloodforged
The Bloodforged are survivors shaped by loss, united in their quest for vengeance against Exaltaco’s expansion. From their stronghold, the Bleeding Bastion, they wage a guerrilla war against Exaltium convoys, mining operations, and corporate strongholds. Their scarred leader, Ronan Graves, channels the rage of his followers into a powerful resistance. Equipped with Exaltium-fueled explosives and sabotage tools, they turn Exaltaco’s own power against itself.
Dissent is rising among the Bloodforged. While Ronan seeks total destruction of their enemy, a younger faction led by his lieutenant advocates for strategic alliances with groups like the Unshackled and the Reclaimers to aid rebuilding efforts. Though the Bloodforged are seen as symbols of defiance by the oppressed, their scorched-earth tactics often harm innocents and settlements.
Players who ally with the Bloodforged embrace a rebellion that trades stability for vengeance and blood for justice. They must decide whether to stoke the flames of destruction or to channel their fury into something greater.
