Several roving gangs formed in the aftermath of the conflict between Geb and Nex, attracting those either unwilling to stop fighting or afraid of retribution for their wartime actions. Hoping for more autonomy and less oversight, many combatants did not return to their respective homelands and became wanderers of the forming Wastes, scavengers who never asked when they could simply take. Those with similar aspirations eventually found each other, uniting to increase their odds of survival or amass power of their own. The original divisions between Nex and Geb still stand in most cases, but other gangs have grown and survived long enough to be of note. These groups tend to be incredibly insular and standoffish, only providing shelter or trading with those who prove they can bring new knowledge and magic casting techniques. Those with innate, divine, or even primal magic are considered lesser and treated like novice magic users who can never fully understand their own magic. Collectively, these gangs are known to outsiders as Los Aterradores, though most members do not refer to themselves as such and tend to subtly exclude any who do.The most prolific and infamous group is led by Alemayehu.
