Some governments allow people to be born into power. Others allow the any rube with a loud voice a say. Even more place all power in the hands of some raging lunatic because he (or she) managed to subjugate a few dominions. The Technocracy of Highfall places power in the hands of those who deserve it; those who can best use it. Highfall is run by a council of some of the most brilliant Ruk-Tai minds the world over. They are experts in the creation of masterfully-crafted golems, all types of sorcerous arms, and hundreds of other technologic innovations. It's a trivial matter for them to use their considerable talent to shape the rest of Highfall's society into a smoothly running paradise for the common man as well as a superior economic juggernaut. With the intelligent in charge, nothing can possibly go wrong!

Hobstaat's conquerors placed a government like their own in its place: the Technocracy.

The above sentiment gave birth to a corrupt council of void-obsessed Ruk-Tai. They are more bent on churning out products and inventions than solving any of the myriad of problems that Highfall faces. As such everything is focused on appeasing their appetites. The economy is solely meant to make more and more. The workers and other people are just cogs in the machine that are given random holidays when quotas are met and sold into slavery when they are not. Diplomacy is a desperate practice with no sense of morals. They are more than willing to trade away anything (and anyone) if it means they can make more of their toys. The military doubles as a brutal police force that keeps their fellows in line. They follow who ever rewards them the most, and its highly probable that if they weren't constantly surrounded by golems that they would have launched a coup d'état long ago.

Hills, hills, and more windswept hills. It once stretched all the way to the sea but the wilds have long ago fallen into rebel hands. The Council promises that they will be removed eventually, and they are more than willing to claim all of the wilds as their territory, but no real military action has occurred yet.

Golems. Brilliant feats of technological superiority. They live amongst the Ruk-Tai of Highfall in staggering numbers. Ever watching, ever ready, and always snatching dissenters to be sold into slavery. The Council churns them out at such a staggering pace that it's rumored that there is a golem assigned to every Ruk-Tai living within Highfall's borders. This is preposterous but with each passing day the nightmare becomes more of a reality.
