Surviving Communities

Surviving Communities are small groups of men, women, and children who continue to live quietly in the frozen world. They are not factions, do not have grand ambitions, and are not intended as sources of direct conflict. Instead, they exist in the background of the world, maintaining vital infrastructure or providing access to resources that would otherwise be inaccessible due to extreme danger, distance, or scarcity.

These communities are generally intended to remain neutral and cannot be taken over, conquered, or drawn into PvP disputes. Their purpose is to ensure that essential services, supplies, and travel routes remain available even when player numbers are low. While it is not our intention to create conflict around them, deliberate antagonism will be met with a reasonable in-character response. Their infrastructure is not something that can be seized or controlled by players, as removing it would undermine the stability of the world.
