History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Whilst during the Second Survey the world carried an Amber rating for travelers, negotiations between the local governments and the Julian Protectorate have borne fruit and it is a far safer place to visit now (although the law levels is still very high).

  • Anti-Vargr sentiment has been reduced, although Vargr visitors are usually warned that locals still have quaint notions about the psychology of their Vargr neighbours.
