Shankar VI: leader of the Telepate

A monumental bust of Hierophant Shankar VI, leader of the Telepate, a faction of intellectually enhanced mutants living in the vast underground city-malls of New Jersey. The tunnels were extensive even before the bioengineered Borerwyrms. The Telepates learned to mentally control these great wyrms, and expanded their domain ten fold. They built dozens of mall-temples dedicated to high end consumer goods, protected by deadly traps and fast food replibooths. 

Survivors of the tunnel delve

Materialist leader Tensohl takes a break in a surface level station while Bespoke Monks and his lieutenant, Seldar, watch on. Tunnel mall dives could last for weeks, given their extent, and often resulted in heavy casualties. But they were holy expeditions for materialists, who likened them to crusades. 

Floating Block 71

Antigravity plating was successfully bolted on to Block 71, elevating it above the surface, which was overrun with weaponized animal-horrors. Balloons and AG-pods were used to travel between domiciles and forage for food. A portable fusion reactor kept the lights on, and Block 71 flourished as a refuge of civilization for decades. 

Some notable figures of the Post-Post-Apocalypse, such as Angor Lasereyes, hail from Block 71. After the aspiring mad sorcerer Klaven the All-Knowing grafted cybernetic eyes onto Angor, along with a small diamond battery at the base of his skull, Angor earned his nickname, and spent many years terrorizing small settlements at the head of his gang of marauders, known as The Dead Eyes. 

Innnovative nomenclature was not a strong point in the far future wastelands of Midest Uhmerika. 

The Delff Bastion

The Delff Bastion was as xenophobic as it was peaceful. It’s ruler, Wizard-Seer Kruhlhaus, kept the people in a retro state of ignorance, forever caught in the amber of an imagined golden age that merged medieval with the early twentieth century. The high tech infrastructure was hidden from them, except for the Guardian Robots. 

Dallasean Navy

The mighty battle cruisers of the Dallasean navy ruled the waves of the Caribbean in the post-apocalypse. 

The Texas class served for over eighty years, and only battlekraken and pre-collapse ships could hope to prevail against them. Each was commanded by one of the formidable Grand Admirals of Dallas, who were also known for their impressive hats.

The Imperator Ball

The Imperator Ball is held every year in Dallas, assembling together the elite of society for a hedonistic evening. Sense spheres and collective dreaming are now almost as popular as the dancing, giving the event new meaning. 

Mind-images, naturally, were the order of the day, and telesocial networks transmitted them across the psychic realm. 

Space Shuttle Arcturus

Space shuttle Arcturus taking evasive maneuvers over the Eastern seaboard; it was hit by an AA missile launched from a high altitude dirigible drone that had been hijacked by The Inverted Pyramid terrorist organization. Leader Malcolm Tent pledged to rain the world with trillionaires. Three more would soon follow.
