SCRAPWALL

Scrapwall didn't begin as a town. It's origins date back 50 years to the first Technic League expedition to the region which at the time was firmly in the territory of the Sunderhorn Clan. The Technic League forced the Sunderhorn off the land and enslaved those who refused to flee, beginning an excavation of the numerous wrecked vessels that littered the hills. It isn't clear why so many vessels crashed in the same region, but League estimates stood at 27 ships.

​

When it became clear that Scrapwall was a valuable resource, the League leveraged the full might of their influence, emptying prisons and capturing slaves to work in Scrapwall's mines harvesting any piece of technology or raw materials. Managing Scrapwall became an onerous task due to frequent raids by the Sunderhorn and local guerilla attacks by ysoki populations. After 20 years and having stripped what they believed to be the majority of valuable tech from the crash sites, the Technic League called the region a loss and pulled out, leaving their slaves behind to fend for themselves.

​

In the 30 years that followed, Scrapwall became a desperate haven for outcasts, criminals, exiles, and the hopeless. The ysoki, having lived in warrens below Scrapwall for longer than the Technic League had ever set foot on the land, remained a constant presence in the area. Over time it became clear that the League did not harvest all of the valuables from the region, including millions of tons of glaucite—a rare and durable metal—that needed to be stripped from ship hulls. While Scrapwall was not organized enough to become a trade hub, it none the less carved out a niche for itself as a safe haven for the unwanted, and a treasure trove for those with the strength to dig for it.
