Tempest Wargaming

I've been going through trying to redesign the factions and tweaking the setting for Crimson ECO... Here's a glimpse of where it's moving...

New Camelot faction -
They have rejected the "Old World" cities, seeing the Pulse of 2000 as the Earth reclaiming its soul. They blend ancient Celtic mysticism with elite modern tactical doctrine.
Lore: Based in the overgrown ruins of the UK and Northern Europe. They believe the Neo Vatican’s reliance on satellites is a "false heaven."
Aesthetic: Ghillie suits made of woven moss and synth-fiber, tactical vests over tunics, and face paint in woad-blue. Weapons are a mix of high-end scavenged fi****ms and "Aether-bows."
The Wardens (Unit Focus): The elite. They train like the 20th-century SAS but move like the shadows of Sherwood.

The Truth faction -
The Truth didn't emerge from the ruins—they were born from a surviving "Black Site" bunker that tried to solve Y2K using experimental AI and human-brain interfacing.
Lore: They see humanity as "Unfinished Code." They don't just use magic; they are the magic. They want to "upload" humanity into a synchronized hive-mind to prevent another Reset.
The Location: "Atlantis Zeon"—An artificial island built from the hulls of derelict aircraft carriers and oil rigs, located in the middle of the Atlantic. It is a neon-lit fortress of wires and crystals.

Valhall Alliance faction -
Emerging from the harsh Nordic wastes, they didn't pray to the old world—they looted it. They see the Reset as the true "Ragnarok" that weeded out the weak.
Lore: They are masters of "Graft-Tech." If they find a piece of Old World tech, they bolt it directly onto their gear or bodies. Their magic is wild, primal, and unpredictable.
The Aesthetic: Fur-lined flight jackets, helmets made from rusted gas masks, and weapons powered by unstable Aether-batteries.
