So, the primer kept you alive for a week. You know how to stay fed and how not to get shot on sight. You think that means you know this city? You don’t know jack. The Survivor’s Primer is the sanitized corporate tour. This… this is the gutter-level truth.
Welcome to the Gutter Gospels. This is the main lore repository for players who want to truly understand the world, its history, and its people. This is where we peel back the layers of lies and show you the rotten core of it all.
In here, you’ll find the fractured history of this whole mess. We’ll show you the official corporate history they feed you , and then we’ll show you the ugly truth about the Lode and the Riftfall that broke the world. You’ll learn how humanity fled to the orbital Drifts, leaving a planet to die.
We’ll take you on a tour of the asylum. You’ll learn the secrets of the Bastion’s districts , what life is really like under the Warmth Grid , and how the corrupt Civil Authority keeps the cage locked. Then we’ll push you outside the walls and teach you how to survive the Pale , showing you the few settlements that cling to life and the ghosts that haunt ruins like Atomic Wonderland.
A city isn’t just concrete and rust; it’s a food chain. We’ll introduce you to the players. The untouchable Tier Zero Megacorps pulling the strings from their towers , the street-level factions and businesses bleeding for turf , and the whispers of the ‘Cassandra’ resistance network that tries to fight back.
Finally, you’ll learn the names of the ghosts who built this prison. The legends and devils whose choices still echo in the static—Silas Vance, the founder; Anya, the first Outlander ; the mad Carrion Prophet ; and the digital ghost called Null.
The primer taught you how to survive. The Gospels will teach you why this world is worth surviving—or burning to the ground. Knowledge is a weapon. Time to get armed.
