Much of Marema was destroyed by the Empire of Garen decades ago. The radioactive fallout destroyed most of the tropical rainforests and verdant countryside for which Marema was famous, leaving behind only a desert waste known as “The Deadlands”. In the century following the war, the once proud country of Marema has fallen into a slow decline from which it may never recover, with recent efforts at peace with Garen having mixed results. Twenty years after The Reclamation, the people of Marema are beginning to venture out into the Deadlands once more, but tribalism and economic struggles have left the few settlements which remain in a precarious position…meanwhile, the rest of the world continues on as it largely has, indifferent to the struggles of the Mareman people.

Now, just days before the signing of a bill granting land ownership to any brave soul willing to finish what The Reclamation began, two young adventurers prepare to claim their piece of the Deadlands, not realizing that they will soon be swept up in the latest chapter of a struggle that has been playing out for thousands of years; a war for the very future of mankind.

And it remains to be seen if they will survive the Volt Age...
