Martial Arts

Alpine Wrestling

As a martial art which originated in Europe, wrestling has become widespread throughout the continent and has thus led to the development of local variants in many regions. As such, in the Alpine regions, i.e. southern Germany, several distinct variants such as Ranggeln and Schwingen have emerged. The concept behind these variants is similar to normal wrestling however, as they focus on using the opponent’s own physical strength against them and bringing them to the ground through leveraging and throwing techniques.

Available Techniques: Oaken Stance (Defense Against Being Charged), Rooted Tree, Clinch, Karmic Response, Throw Person, Imposing Stone

Asthenologica

Asthenologica, “the doctrine of the human weakness”. A self-defense art created by three martial arts enthusiasts, a coroner, an orthopedic surgeon and a neurologist in 2052. Asthenologica requires thousands of hours of intense AR and VR simulations to train your body to instinctively know the weaknesses of the human body. Asthenologica uses a perfected combination of strength, aggressiveness and endurance to neutralize opponents with clever strikes to their nerve centers and a sixth sense for the flow of a fight.

Available Techniques: Clinch, Dim Mak, Multiple Opponent Combat, Defiant Dance, Stagger, Karmic Response

Circular Fencing

New secretive fencing circles have popped up in Europe and the UCAS as martial arts goes into a renaissance. These circular fencers consist of Cyber Sams and Adepts dedicated to their circle and the sport. All Circular Fencers learn the basics of Fencing before they are inducted and learn their circles' deeper techniques.

Available Techniques: Called Shot (Feint), Called Shot (Break Weapon), Broken Fang, Herding, Multiple Opponent Defense (Defender Has Defended), Two-Headed Snake

Esdo

Esdo is a self-defense and health sport that was invented in 1989 in Germany as a European alternative to Asian martial arts and has been steadily developing ever since. It takes into account the different stature of Europeans and is designed so that a user can hold their own against a physically stronger attacker. Esdo does not constrain the user in a rigid moveset, but instead aims to teach her various techniques that she can use in various situations. As a health sport, Esdo trains the strength and constitution of its users, along with their general health. Esdo is especially popular with younger citizens as an alternative to yoga or tai-chi.

Available Techniques: Oaken Stance (Defense Against Being Knocked Down), Bending of the Reed, Counterstrike, Kick Attack, Yielding Force (Counterstrike), Stagger

Kreussler Fencing

Johann Wilhelm Kreussler was an important reformer of Fencing in Germany, renowned for a style of lightning fast shock fencing. He became the greatest Fencer in Germany with his new fast style using many subtle redirects to tire the opponent before disarming them with shocking speed. The ideal weapon for use, according to Kreussler, with the Kreussler Fencing style (other than the rapier) is the cane sword. The style is also possible with a walking stick. Kreussler fencing is considered to be the Gentlemen’s style of fencing.

Available Techniques: Ballestra, Hammerfist, Iaijutsu, Knucklebreaker (Blast out of hand), Riposte, Yielding Force (Riposte)

German Ju-Jutsu

The “gentle art” of German Ju Jutsu is a self-defense technique which was developed in 1967 by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community. It combines elements of aikido, judo and karate, and has been expanded over the years to include elements from other Asian martial arts. The martial art has been incorporated into the standard training regime of every member of the provincial or federal police, prison and customs officials, and Bundeswehr and Landwehr units. In addition, several bodyguards and members of private police groups, such as the HanSec, are also trained in it.

Available Techniques: Called Shot (Disarm), Sweep, Clinch, Kick Attack, Throw Person, Defiant Dance

Urban Brawl Parkour

This style of fighting evolved with the growth of the crowd's favorite sport, Urban Brawl, as a mixture of parkour with the usage of firearms. It is a variation of normal parkour, adopted for the ease of use in the urban battlefields of city warfare. Development is driven primarily by the offensive classes in Urban Brawl, such as Scouts or Bangers, although some Medicos have also picked it up to get to the injured quickly, along with fans who mimic the techniques utilized by their idols.

Available Techniques: Tricking, Monkey Climb, Close Quarters Firearms (Pistols), Close Quarters Defense Against Firearms, Leaping Mantis, Rolling Clouds

Sternschutz Tactical

This martial arts style was introduced after Crash 2.0 at Sternschutz, after it was taken over by the Frankfurt Bankers Association. The style is a modification of the Knight Errant Tactical, created when Ares wished to assist with reconstruction help at the FBV. In the time since, the fighting style has evolved and moved away from its origins, similar to Ares FBV.

Available Techniques: Oaken Stance (Defense Against Being Charged), Called Shot (Break Weapon), Broken Fang, Hammerfist, Opposing Force (Parry), Close Quarters Defense Against Firearms

Firearms

Strikecannon

(Holdout Pistol)
The Strikecannon is less of a ranged weapon, and more of a damage booster for melee combat, or a bit of extra oomph in an ambush.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Strikecannon	Physical Limit / (2)	9P	-3	SS	-	1(b)	6F	100¥

Standard Upgrades: -

Notes: The Strikecannon is used similarly to knucks with the Unarmed skill. The value in brackets applies to using the Strikecannon as a ranged weapon when the weapon is not placed directly on the target, in which case it uses the Pistols skill and taser ranges.

Altmayr Black Moon

(Heavy Pistol)
The Altmayr Black Moon was originally released under the name ‘Altmayr White Star’. A more conventional cased revolver design. In order to boost sales, the White Star was refitted with electronic firing to utilize modern caseless ammunition, and rebranded as the Black Moon.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Altmayr Black Moon	6	8P	-1	SA	1	6(cy)	4R	1,150¥

Standard Upgrades: Electronic Firing, Slide Mount (top)

Glock-Swarovski Eagle Eye

(Heavy Pistol)
Sometimes a weapon is designed for a sole purpose. The Glock-Swarovski Eagle Eye is one such gun, having been designed by Glock just to give Urban Brawl competitors a chance in foreign competitions. The Swarovski sponsored Team Anarchy, the undisputed champion of Vienna and Austria but struggled greatly in foreign competitions, due to the vulnerability of their scouts to longer ranged fire. As such, the Eagle Eye was produced to enable their scouts to engage their opponents at a distance of further than 10m.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Glock-Swarovski Eagle Eye	6	7P	-1	SA	-	12(c)	11R	890¥

Standard Upgrades: Improved Range Finder, Smartgun System (Internal), Extended Clip 1

Notes: The Eagle Eye when initially bought has a plastic pull-tab placed above the trigger, the weapon will not function until this is removed. Removing the pull-tab is a simple action.

Glock 51

(Machine Pistol)
This new weapon from Glock could cause a little revolution in the Security arms market. Sporting full auto capability, built in laser sight and a light weight due to its non-metallic components, this budget weapon has been very popular with poorly-trained security, and even among better equipped teams.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Glock 51	5(6)	7P	-	SA/BF/FA	-	28(c)	10R	450¥

Standard Upgrades: Ceramic and Plasteel Components 2, Laser Sight

Walther P118

(Machine Pistol)
This machine pistol from Walther represents a significant leap forward in guns design. While being the successor to the P108, designed in the 2010s, the P118 has barely anything in common. The gun uses an electronic firing system and caseless ammunition, allowing for a more compact magazine. The trigger has also been removed to improve accuracy, as such the gun is fired via wireless connection, or for those wary of electronic threats, direct cable connection to its internal smartlink. A safe target system is the cherry on top of the cake, allowing the P118 to be a versatile weapon useful for everything from home defense to security work.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Walther P118	5(6)	7P	-	SA/BF/FA	3	24(c)	9R	2,300¥

Standard Upgrades: Trigger Removal, Electronic Firing, Safe Target System (Base), Gas Vent System 2, Smartgun System (Internal), Advanced Safety System (Basic), Extended Clip 1

Glock MP Custodes

(Submachine Gun)
The Custodes is Glock’s first attempt at a submachine gun, and aims to fill a specific niche. On occasion, security personnel (especially bodyguards), need to pack more firepower than a pistol, but in a covert package. The Glock MP Custodes PDW aims to fill this niche. It comes in two variants, the MPK (Maschinenpistole kurz) is the most common version of the weapon, and can easily be worn under clothing. The MPV (Maschinenpistole verdeck), is suited for situations requiring even more subtlety, and comes in a suitcase. At the press of a button, the suitcase falls away, leaving you holding the SMG by its sling.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Glock MP Custodes	5	7P	-	SA/BF/FA	1(2)	24(c)	15F	1,500¥

Standard Upgrades: Stock Removal, Gas Vent System 1, Ceramic and Plasteel Components 2, Sling

Notes: With the folding stock removed, the Custodes has a concealability modifier of 0 (+2 when stock attached), but also only 1 point of RC. The separate stock costs 50¥. It can be attached to the weapon with a complex action and another complex action to remove it.

The MPV Version costs 500¥ more and comes with the stock. The weapon can be detached from the briefcase with a simple action. The suitcase has a Concealability modifier of -6 to recognize its true purpose.

HK 223C

(Submachine Gun)
At the beginning of the millennium, Heckler & Koch decided to revise the two main assault rifles of the U.S. Army, the M4 Carbine and the M16. This brought us the HK 416, a weapon loved by many for its superior reliability over the weapons it was based on.

With the HK 223, HK is trying to replicate its previous success, aiming to provide a revised and more reliable version of the M22 and M23. Having met with a positive reception in Europe, H&K then went on to develop the HK 223 Commando, i.e. HK 223C. It has a considerably shortened barrel and an adjustable stock on a buffer tube. Although it uses the same ammunition as the HK 223, the short barrel causes a notable drop in its muzzle velocity, resulting in notably reduced firepower and range. Other improvements have also been added to the HK 223C, including numerous mounting rails on the gun, and a modern lightweight polymer construction. All of this has contributed to the gun’s popularity among the military special forces, police SWAT units and private security forces.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
HK 223C	4	8P	-1	SA/BF/FA	(1)	40(c)	9F	650¥

Standard Upgrades: Folding Stock, Slide Mount (Top, Side)

Notes: The HK 223C uses Assault Rifle ammunition

HK G12A4

(Carbine)
The successor to the G12A3, a result of the Bundeswehr “Combat Effectiveness Enhancement Program 2070”, the G12A4 sports several notable improvements. The magazine release has been made more robust to harsh environments, and the reloading chute is held up by a spring mechanism to make it easier to operate, especially with thick winter gloves. An internal smartgun system now comes standard issue, helping with unskilled shooters and marksmen alike. The new variant even features an underbarrel grenade launcher, which can be quickly swapped out for other underbarrel attachments thanks to its mounting rail if the mission requires. An adjustable shoulder stock improves the gun’s ergonomics, digital scope improves its engagement range and gas vents help compensate for the recoil. All in all, the G12A4 is a notable improvement over the G12A3.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
HK G12A4	6	9P	-2	SA/BF/FA	3(4)	32(c)	9F	2,850¥
Grenade Launcher	4	As Grenade	As Grenade	SS	-	8(m)	-	-

Standard Upgrades: Folding Stock, Gas Vent System 2, Slide Mount (Top, Bottom, Side), Smartgun System (Internal), Foregrip, Imaging Scope

Steyr UCR

(Carbine)
The weapon of choice of the Austrian Gendarmerie had, until recently, been the AUG-CSL III. However, it became clear that complex modular weapon systems were in many cases too inflexible, as modification of the weapon during missions turned out to be extremely difficult and unintuitive for lightly trained militia troops. In addition, none of the variants, apart from the carbine, were designed for the tight CQC fighting the Gendarmerie expects to encounter. As such, Steyr created a new design, simplifying the modular weapon system into an easy to use assault rifle with an integral underbarrel shotgun.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Steyr UCR	6(7)	9P	-2	SA/BF/FA	1	40(c)	10F	1,850¥
Underbarrel Shotgun	3(4)	10P	-1	SS	-	4(m)	-	-

Standard Upgrades: Laser Sight, Shock Pad

Altmayr SPX2

(Shotgun)
With the release of the SPX2, Altmayr made the first revision on the popular 40 year old design. Aimed at maximizing concealability, the SPX2 has its stock removed and barrel cut down significantly. Despite using a smaller cartridge, the SPX2 still packs quite the punch at close range.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Altmayr SPX2	4	10P	-1	SS/SA	-	8(m)	4R	475¥

Standard Upgrades: short barrel

Notes: The Altmayr SPX2 uses the ranges for heavy pistols. It has a concealability modifier of +2 instead of a +6 because of its short barrel.

Onotari Arms Pressure KS-X

(Shotgun)
The Pressure is designed for CQC fights, being barely as large as a submachine gun and useful against dangerous critters or gangers. It is the first choice for police forces that need a concealable weapon that still packs a punch. Firing 20 gauge shells in a 3-round burst, it far surpasses the stopping power of other weapons in its class. The rail mount allows for additional accessories, and for the first time, Onotari Arms is even offering a silencer on the shotgun, making it an attractive option for other professions.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Onotari Arms Pressure KS-X	4(5)	10P	-1	SA/BF	(1)	6(c)	12F	1,200¥

Standard Upgrades: Folding Stock, Laser Sight, Slide Mount (top)

Optional Upgrades: Silencer (Price: 900¥, Avail: 14F)

Notes: With the folding stock retracted and silencer detached, the KS-X has a Concealability modifier of +2. The KS-X cannot accept underbarrel modifications.

Blaser R11 Conqueror

(Sporting Rifle)
‘Larger critters need larger calibers!’ With this slogan Blaser introduced their newest hunting rifle. The R11 series is based off of the legendary R8 model which has been known as one of the world’s best hunting rifles for over 100 years. The R11 Conqueror is made of a Carbon composite material, which offers surprisingly low weight while maintaining high strength. A built in silencer offers the protection of stealth when combating the 6th world’s most dangerous critters. Extremely lightweight, easy to disassemble or assemble in seconds. It is also fairly resilient to environmental dangers with a special coating.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Blaser R11 Conqueror	7	12P	-3	SA	1	5(c)	9R	8,500¥

Standard Upgrades: Easy Breakdown(Unpowered), Silencer, Shock Pad, Smartgun System, Imaging Scope

HK DMR 11D

(Sniper Rifle)
The HK DMR-11D has been standard issue for the German and Austrian armed forces for almost 20 years now. Created using lessons learnt during the Euro Wars, it is designed to take standard HK assault rifle magazines to reduce logistics complexity and ensure a steady ammunition supply in protracted battles. Thanks to an innovative gas-operated short stroke piston, the user can switch to burst-fire mode in critical situations where a higher rate of fire may be necessary.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
HK DMR 11D	6	11P	-3	SA/BF	(2)	30(c)	10R	8,500¥

Standard Upgrades: Slide Mount (Top), Imaging Scope, Bipod

Notes: Uses Assault Rifle ammo.

Ruhrmetall SFW-30

(Heavy Vehicle Weapon, Heavy Machine Gun)
The latest heavy vehicle weapon of the Ruhrmetal arsenal and the first to come out after their change in company management. The SFW is an autocannon designed to be mounted on vehicles. The design is very unwieldy for metahumans, for this reason the weapon is not available in a portable version. Even when an Orc or Troll almost certainly could move the 80kg weight. This can only be installed on vehicles (not drones)

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Ruhrmetall SFW-30	6	14P	-4	BF	-	100(belt)	24F	60,000¥

Standard Upgrades: Trigger Removal, Smartgun System(internal), Underbarrel Weapon

Ruhrmetall SMK 252

(Assault Cannon)
The Sturmmaschinengewehr 252 from Ruhrmetall is a lightweight autocannon designed for IFVs like the Wolf II. However in the aftermath of the Dragon Civil War, demand for an infantry portable version spurred Ruhrmetall to create the SMK 252. Sporting a full length autocannon barrel unlike other assault cannons, the SMK 252 fires 25mm rounds, and weighs over 60 kilograms, despite using lightweight materials and advanced construction techniques.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Mode	RC	Ammo	Availability	Cost
Ruhrmetall SMK 252	6	16P	-5	SA	1(2)	30(c)	22F	50,000¥

Standard Upgrades: Extended Clip 1, Long Barrel, Foregrip, Imagine Scope, Bipod

Notes: The Ruhrmetall SMK 252 uses the ranges for Sniper Rifles. Either the foregrip (mobile, 1 RC) or bipod (stationary, 2 RC), can be used for a shot.

Melee Weapons

Ruhrmetall Abräumer

(Telescoping Halberd)
The second combination weapon from Ruhrmetall found its way into the armories of Urban Brawl teams (and out into the shadows). The paradigm shift in tactics in the 70s in the German arena saw the striker of the teams begin to utilize motorcycles in order to have the speed to dominate the field. This necessitated the development of a “solid” weapon that could be used easily by a striker while on motorbike, while also having the force to take out opposition.

Thus, the halberd was pulled out from the annals of history. The weapon is very effective, but its two meter long shaft makes it unwieldy to use. As such, the engineers of Ruhrmetall found a solution: The spar was replaced by a stable telescoping pole. When retracted, the telescoping halberd takes the approximate shape of a hand axe, although its heavy weight gives it considerable power behind its strikes. When extended, the halberd shows its true strength, especially against mounted opponents or large adversaries.

With a Standard Action, the handle extends to allow the weapon to function as a standard polearm. Wireless bonus: Extending the handle is a Free Action.

Name	Accuracy	Damage	AP	Reach	Availability	Cost
Ruhrmetall Abräumer	5	(STR+2)P/(STR+3)P*	-2	0/2*	7R	850¥

*The first number is when the halberd is retracted. The second number applies when it is extended.

Mentor Spirits

Architect

Meticulous planning, anticipation of all eventualities, but above all striving for absolute control over a situation - all this characterizes the approach of an architect.

Badger

Badger is a guardian of the forest, who closely monitors what is happening from a distance and relentlessly defends his own territory. He rarely acts actively, but rather only takes action when it is unavoidable.

Brownie (Heinzelmannchen)

Brownie (Heinzelmannchen) Brownie is a friend of the people who likes to help with everyday work. She only works at night, or in the late evening, where no one can watch or disturb her.

Fox

In numerous fairy tales, the fox is portrayed not only as cunning and scheming, but also as a big-mouth and insidious being who mocks those who he views as stupid and slow. Most people do not realize however, that this is a poor representation of the animal.

In fact, Fox is a prudent and practical hunter who takes care of her own selflessly. She carefully weighs risks of various options against each other to find the best course of action. Usually, Fox prefers to achieve her goals with secrecy and cunning, and tends to shy away from violence.

If he fails, the character is convinced that he has seen the Klabautermann, and will attempt to flee, as well as trying to convince other characters that their plan will not end well

Marmot

Marmot appreciates the benefits and support that families, friendships and networks bring. Marmot followers as such rely on a wide social network, because only together can you be strong and survive in the Sixth World.

Pig

As a hedonist, Pig is known for his conviviality and zest for life. Pig followers are able to quickly join social groups and easily make new contact.

Instead, they indulge in the comforts of life, but often do not know their limits, and find it difficult to restrain themselves.

Alternative Archetypes: Connoisseurs, Bacchus

Downside: A follower pig must be tested for Charisma + Willpower (3) to break away from enjoyable activities such as sleeping, eating, drinking or using drugs.

Seal

Seal is driven by longing and curiosity. She is an explorer, who explores both the depths of the ocean as well as the mind. In doing so, she plunges into the depths of the souls of her followers, and brings what she finds to the surface. As a traveler between the two aspects of the mind - with the ocean as the subconscious, and the land as the conscious, she is often revered as a symbol of self-enlightenment. Seal enjoys people and being close to them, although she tends to not understand personal space or privacy well.

All: +2 to Judge Intention tests
Magician: +2 dice for summoning water spirits
Adept: Free Astral Perception
Alternative Archetypes: Mirror World, Nymph

Downside: Seal has compassion, but she lacks tact in dealing with the feelings of others. Whenever a devotee of Seal gains insight into another's emotions, she finds it hard to respect private boundaries and not address or deepen the issue. In order to remain discreet in such situations, she must succeed a Charisma + Willpower (3) test. In addition, glitches on Social Tests are automatically critical glitches.

Squirrel

Squirrels are most comfortable in the tallest of tree tops. Her followers are thus gifted climbers who can scale the steepest of walls and tallest of fences. They know that they are far safer in the treetops than on the ground, and as such they prefer elevated positions from which they can keep a watch out. In addition, Squirrels also love freedom, and need plenty of space to move around. They are claustrophobic in nature, and cannot tolerate the confining feeling of walls pressing in on all sides. Only in dire emergencies can a Squirrel be convinced to head underground.

All: +2 to all Gymnastics tests involving climbing, jumping and balance.
Magician: +2 dice for spells, rituals and alchemical preps in the Detection category
Adept: 2 levels of Light Body
Alternative Archetypes: Ratatoskr, Whirlwind

Downside: If a follower of Squirrel is in a confined space, he must succeed on a Willpower + Charisma (3) test, otherwise he suffers a -1 on all actions as long as he feels constrained.

Wild Hunt

The ancient legend of the Wild Hunt tells of an impetuous, mounted hunting party made up of ghosts who were wicked and sinners during their lifetime. They are now repenting for their actions by riding across the land to bring death and devastation to the enemies of the gods. The Wild Hunt is a dark mentor spirit, only his self-image as an executor of the higher power separates him from toxic concepts such as Disease and Doom. Go-gangers are often among his followers.

All: +2 to tests for Pilot Ground Craft, or Intimidate.
Magician: +2 dice for summoning guardian spirits or spirits of man
Adept: Free adept power Berserker
Alternative Archetypes: Valkyrie, White Rider

Downside: A Wild Hunt follower always leaves a trail of devastation. Even if collateral damage is a possibility in battle, where bystanders and innocents can be harmed, he takes no heed of it. If a Wild Hunt follower wants to be considerate in battle, he must succeeds on a Charisma + Willpower (3), else he suffers a -2 penalty on all actions.

Magical Traditions

The Tradition of the Freudians

There is no magic. Freudians believe that magic is simply an expression of the unconscious mind of the observers, entirely according to the psychological teachings of Siegmund Freud. Freudians, named after the father of their philosophy, explore their subconscious and train their mind to protect themselves against subconscious suggestion which affects the normal population. However, the Freudians also believe that those who fully take control of their subconscious self and achieve clarity can use their own thoughts to manifest help. No follower of this tradition will ever be convinced that there is real magic. All that may seem supernatural is to him just an expression of an individual’s consciousness. Like a kind of mass hysteria or hypnosis, it can have a partial effect. Freudians see it as their destiny to help raise awareness of the truth to the supposedly ‘lost and confused’ mages of other traditions. It doesn’t make them many friends.

Appropriate Mentor Spirits: Because they don’t believe in magic Freudians have no mentor spirits, at least not officially. It may happen that a follower of the tradition is aligned with an ‘archetype’ in line with the Freudian believes. (for example, Firebringer)

Ideology: Know yourself, explore your subconscious and imagine everything there is open to the abyss. This is what Freudians aspire to. Look self-confident, and a strong inner-spirit so that your visualizations may be converted into reality.

Sorcery: The spells of the Freudians are mental exercises and meditations. They use a variety of strategies, such as reciting texts, breathing techniques or singing to centre themselves. Most of their spells draw little attention, improving or manipulating living things, deceiving senses and strengthening the ‘gut feeling’. More spectacular effects are considered to require a large amount of concentration and are quite dangerous if you don’t have a well trained mind.

Summoning: It is rare for followers of the Tradition of the Freudians to have the ability to summon spirits. Freudians naturally do not believe in such supernatural beings, however if they are capable of summoning they view spirits as a visualized expression of his innermost mind which can act independently.

Enchanting: The craft of enchanting is something the Freudians view as the work of charlatans. However, it is possible that some objects may carry a psychological effect and become the key to an emotion. Things like the cuddly animal of a child, the horseshoe over the door of your family home or your favourite key chain. They can thus condition their mind by means of an object as a spiritual focus for the subconscious to use. Freudians can make use of the enchantments of other wizards, however never their own.

Sorbic Theurgy

Sorbian magic occupies a special position as a mixture of Elbe Slavic witchcraft and conservative Catholicism. It is usually regarded as a way of nature magic or a kind of “German voodoo”. Due to its regional focus and remoteness, very little scientific research has been done on this tradition.

Simply called “the swamps” (Błota) by the Sorbs, the approximately 3,000 square kilometer Spreewald with its countless canals is a popular holiday destination for stressed Berliners. However, the part of the Spreewald that developed for tourism is only a tiny sector in the huge (and still growing) swamp area. Beyond the facade of small guesthouses, traditional costumes, painted Easter eggs, Krabat trids and cucumber sales, there is a largely unknown realm of mists, overgrown watercourses, hamlets hidden in the swamp, a nature that is terrifyingly aggressive towards strangers. One which sprang from the darkness of history Revived customs, to which outsiders are denied access.

In addition to the Christian god of creation and the various saints, the Sorbs also worship the three-faced Slavic god Triglaw and the snake king. Triglaw is revered both as the embodied Christian Trinity and as the Trinity of Heaven, Earth and Hell, while the crowned serpent is the patron god of the Spree Forest and thus also the Sorbian people's god, in whose essence and rites many characteristics of the Slavic god Radegast have been incorporated. Notably, the Sorbs are particularly closely connected to the Spreewald, its spirits and critters seem to be in concert with them.

In contrast to most other nature based religions, Sorbian theurgy is extremely strict and organized according to the Catholic model: The orderly priesthood are the “wise men”, who also have the most secular task of a “government” of the Sorbs. At the head of this theocracy is the Wendenkön (Serbski Kral), currently the aged Theurge Slavomir Kalauk. The Sorbs have never declared themselves formally independent, but are left alone by the weak Brandenburg state government and thus regulate their own affairs. Militias of young supporters can be called up to track down malefactors and bring them to justice, as well as deal with other threats to their survival. Among them. the Wjelkami, a non-uniform group of adepts with clear animal affinities, are particularly successful.

While most Sorbs keep to themselves or put up a facade as friendly nature lovers for the tourists, external business relationships are regulated by the Domowina, a kind of umbrella organization and lobby group for the Sorbs. Their main negotiating partner is Aztechnology, the largest investor in the region. For many years the Sorbs resisted any attempt by the company to explore the awakened world of the Spreewald and the magic of the Sorbs. It was not until 2076 that Domowina and Aztechnology agreed to found a joint institute called Basilisk, based in Bautzen, the purpose of which is "researching and strengthening the awakened nature of the Spreewald".

Svetovid

Svetovid is the religion of Pomoryas, whose origin can be found in the pagan cults of the Slavic region (especially Elbe and Baltic Slavs). As a portmanteau from the Old Slavic words svet (world) and vid (viewpoint), it is now used as a synonym for the Pomoryan cult of nature. Although the origins of Svetovid are rooted in Slavic polytheism and the aspects of various deities, the belief that arose after the founding of Pomorya is more pantheistic and esoteric in nature.

The core of Svetovid is the unification of the divine and the material, Svetovid followers believe that all of nature is permeated with divinity, but nature is never personified and worshiped as a being. Therefore, a Pomeranian elf (or human) “feels” for his faith in his environment, and acts intuitively and individually according to his (moral) beliefs. Since nature is subject to certain elementary principles, such as growth, conflict, change, death and justice (often interpreted as balance), these principles are central to the religion, as well as the arcane tradition. Interventions in the natural cycle of life (biotechnology, cybernetic genetic engineering) are often rejected as being unnatural, and pollution is punished as “blasphemous” and “heretical. While Svetovid does not demonize modern technology per se, there is a considerable focus on symbiosis, coexistance and spreading environmental awareness.

Svetovid sorcerers are also priests of the Svetovid faith (but not the other way around), and strive for integrating their lives with the core principles of their religion. Rituals are mostly oriented to pagen, often Slavic, customs and take place in sacred places (groves, sacrificial stones, temples, other natural places), which represent one or all of the principles of Svetovid. Magic is regarded as an organic part of nature that the magician does not command, but whose flow he can channel and change. Traditional reagents usually take the form of objects that embody these principles (e.g. bones, plants, crystals or light).

The main function of Svetovid priests is far more practical than in other religions, and often serve in more practical and secular parts of society (e.g. health care, social assistance, environmental protection). Thus, Svetovid is often related to Druidic traditions.

Troll Shamanism

Troll shamanism goes back to the Great Dragon Kaltenstein, who taught this archaic, raw form of natural magic well before the troll wars. This tradition has strong Druidic elements, but is much more traditional than the Neo-Druidic Druidism. The core idea of Troll Shamanism is the universe of nature. However, unlike classical shamanism, all objects are not attributed to a “personal” soul or a spirit, but rather the tradition teaches that everything, including metahumans, are permeated by a single, all-encompassing soul.

As a rule, troll shamans do not use a term for this power, and do not personalize it. Spells and adept powers are seen as the bundling, release or transformation of the planet’s untamed energy. The techniques used by Troll shamans are very primitive, and are focused more on channeling raw energy as opposed to controlling it. This often goes hand in hand with roaring, physical tension, cramps or even self-harm, which can be fearsome and threatening in a three-meter tall giant, even if it is only a healing spell.

Due to certain blood magic elements, the tradition is considered rather radical. Spirits are understood as manifested facets of the All-Soul, and usually do not assume humanoid forms, but rather take on chaotic incarnations that are more reminiscent of wild spirits. Spirits from remote meta-planes (insect, spirit, shedim, but also fae) as well as perversions of the All-Soul (toxic magic) are pursued mercilessly as a threat, which is why troll shamans are more common in nature-centric groups.

Due to the individualistic nature of the tradition, it is rare for troll shamans to collaborate in magical groups. Even the troll aspect of the tradition is only a loose association, where members will gather at certain times in places of power in the Black Forest to discuss important matters.

Although this magic tradition today is mainly taught by the Waldshut Naturkraftseminar, there are troll shamans that have landed in the shadows to follow their own destinies and pass on their knowledge to suitable students there. In addition, despite its name, the tradition is no longer common to trolls. Numerous orcism shamans now exist in the Troll Republic, even though some of them are rejected by the old hardliners.

Drones

Krupp Minion

(Street Sweeper Drone - Medium drone)
"The Krupp Minion drone keeps the roads clean, regardless of hurricanes, carnivals or city ball." This was how Krupp Automotive advertised its new, automated sweeper in the mid-2060s. And since then, hundreds of these orange-and-silver robots populate the inner cities. True to their programs, they sweep their trails and eliminate leaves, chewing gum and run over animals.

The front panel can be replaced with modular tool arms, allowing the drone to disassemble and dispose of fallen trees. The machines are connected to the steering system for buses and city drones and get their routes and updates on city maps and traffic problems. Some versions - especially in the inner cities and sales centers - also carry advertising pages on the sides. The chassis is made of a sturdy steel-ceramic, and also the panels in the upper part tolerate a few blows or hits from an automatic weapon.

About the size of a suitcase and extremely maneuverable thanks to its compact unicycle design, the Scarab can be used for perimeter and enclave protection as well as within barrier-free buildings. In its watch function, the scarab acts as an autonomous, mobile security camera that also offers guidance along dark and lonely paths. Once alerted, it identifies and searches for culprits to prevent them from escaping. Thanks to its powerful drive train, it can even track escape vehicles. Various police service providers are currently experimenting with keeping the scarab in prepared drone garages throughout the territory in order to quickly bring a whole swarm of hunters into the street in case of pursuit.

Ruhrmetall Wolfspinner 8V2

(Security Drone - Large drone)
The concept of a giant steel hunter spider drone that is armed to the teeth has long been ridiculed as a technical gimmick. The fear of collateral damage or hostile takeover by hackers was far too high, not to mention the acquisition and operating costs were much higher than simply hiring more security people. However, Ruhrmetall’s R&D department has held on to the idea, and unveiled their latest development under the type designation 8V2. The key innovations of the new model: eight legs (instead of five), a higher focus on defense and bigger weapon mounts, and bigger guns.

Airbus A140

(VTOL)
This personal urban transport from Airbus is the bigger brother of the A120. And since it’s bigger, it needs a bit more room on the landing pad than the A120, however it makes up for it by being able to transport significantly more people and at a significantly higher speed than the A120.

A lot of effort has been made in order to get the interior comfort ahead of its competitors, the A140 can be found all over cities being used by managers and VIPs to escape traffic and the various hazards of ground travel. In general air-travel is fairly safe (surface-to-air missiles are hard to acquire nowadays) so Airbus felt justified adding a robust anti-theft system to the craft.

Based on the BMW 880, the M8 motor sport variant offers a surprisingly large amount of boot space for a sports car and enough leg room to store bags full of equipment. Not least because the M8 is a popular rogue car in the trids and a preferred choice for all major metahumans looking to break into the racing track.
