The Badlands
Terra is an icy, cold planet. Much of which is comprised of the Badlands. The name changes depending on region or language, but most use this name due to the harsh conditions that punishes plant life and encourages the meanest creatures imaginable. While law and order can be found in different parts of Terra, mostly city-states on land or roaming islands on the deadly seas, the Badlands themselves are ungoverned and lawless. Nomad clans roam the Badlands in their colonies of great machines, allying with some clans and waging war with others. The Badlands are cold, bitter, and brutal, where the only rule that everyone follows is survival of the fittest.
