File // EST-TLA-001
The powers
Four factions.
One broken world.
The wasteland holds more powers than these, but these four shape the story of The Last Apostate.
01
Church of Hope
Faction 01 // The zealots
Church of Hope
From the ashes of the old Vatican, a new faith was forged. They kneel before an AI and call it holy, and they hunt the Nerophets to the very last. But every cathedral casts a shadow, and the Church of Hope wears a darker face.
02
Badlands Sultanate
Faction 02 // The iron fist
Badlands Sultanate
The iron fist of the Badlands. Their legions march in perfect order while the throne behind them rots from within. Born to war, raised for war, they know nothing else.
03
Nexus Mountains Union
Faction 03 // The indebted
Nexus Mountains Union
Deep in the mountains, the Union digs. Most of its people are miners, watched at every turn and never out of the company's reach. Every shift is a payment, every breath another debt. Torn by class war and owned by the company, they live for one thing alone: to pay what they owe.
04
Nerophets
Faction 04 // Eldritch
Nerophets
When the last war tore the veil and CERN fell silent, something crossed over. For the first time, the Nerophets walk our world. No two are alike. Each comes with its own hunger, and its own purpose. Today CERN is sealed: the Illuminati guard it with a dome that cannot be broken.

The full story
is coming
We are preparing a general lore section for the site: the wars that broke the world, the factions, the Nerophets and the places in between. It will grow piece by piece as we reveal more of Esotericana.

Beyond the screen
The universe
expands
We want to bring the Badlands to the tabletop: a miniature starter set that grows into a full wargame, and a roleplaying book about how the universe works. Nothing here is final yet. Names, contents and designs may still change.

The Last Apostate
Tabletop Starter Set
The starter set is our way into the miniatures world. It brings the characters of the PC game onto the table first: Apostate Zai, Aysha and Carter against the forces of the Church of Hope. From there we want to add the other factions one by one, until it grows into a full-scale wargame. The current plan for the box is below.

Skirmish Book
Apostate vs Faction. Its own set of rules for small, brutal fights: the Apostate and the characters at his side against the forces of a faction. The Apostate side is made of characters, so new ones may join it in the future.
