The Badlands of Acheron

*'The people of Acheron decided that enough was enough. They people started a civil war, rich against poor. The war raged on for years until the city was obliterated and the capital of Acheron was gone. The rebellion got what they wanted. But at what cost?'*

Acheron was the nation of culture. The once great nation used to embrace all sorts of culture and customs from all over. The land was once a beautiful place, until it's own people caused it's downfall. The rich got greedy, and the poor lost their patience. War broke out, the nation was in ruins. The Capital decided it was best to shut away the nation and dubbed it ‘The Badlands of Acheron.’

## History

### Pre Civil War

Acheron, next to the capital, had some of the most pristine architecture out of many of the nations. Acheron was a beautiful nation covered in sand.

The rich started to form their own makeshift capital in Acheron, including a council. No one was stopping them, so they continued to go about their plan. But things soon became corrupt. The rich stole from the poor. Houses that used to hold multiple families were now reserved for one rich family. The water problem caused more issues. The rich would hoard all of the water, they'd give out a small amount to villages and town, which typically lasted a week when it needed to last a month. The people of Acheron were suffering.

### Post Civil War

The people of Acheron decided that enough was enough. They people started a civil war, rich against poor. The war raged on for years until the city was obliterated and the heart of Acheron was gone. The rebellion got what they wanted. But at what cost?

Since the war, the real capital decided that Acheron was a wasteland full of violence. They cut off connections with Acheron and have had no contact with them since.

A lot of old buildings are still standing, they're nothing like they used to be. The land is now home to clans of scavengers and wanderers. They explore the sandy dunes of what is now called the Badlands. Although the population of Acheron is small, the clans tend to have disagreements with others. Some seek to rebuild, others seek to rule. with no law enforcement, with no government, and with no outside help. They are able to try and achieve their goal by any means necessary with no repercussions.

## Architecture and Fashion

Most of the population of Acheron have made homes and camps for themselves, made from the remains from the old Acheron. Some inhabit the ruined buildings from before the war. These buildings stood tall, the detail was unlike any other. These buildings are used to be rich with trinkets and culture, but have since been looted and vandalised.

## Language

Acheric's have had their own language long before The Capital took over and they made sure to preserve their language. They still learn the common tongue, in hopes that they'll get moved to a nation that speaks that language. But their language is known as 'Old Acheric'. In the eyes of the rest of the world, the language is a dead one.

## Society and Culture

Due to the conditions forced upon Acheron, the nation has raised clans of scavengers and wanderers. They explore the sandy dunes of The Badlands and discover leftover buildings of Acheron. Although the population of Acheron is small, the clans tend to have disagreements with others. Some seek to rebuild, others seek to rule. with no law enforcement, with no government, and with no outside help, they are able to try and achieve their goal by any means necessary with no repercussions. That is until you piss off the wrong clan.

## Government

The nation was abandoned and shut off by The Capital. Acheric's have to fend for themselves, with no government to guide them.

## Inspiration

Acheron is inspired by movies such as Dune, Star Wars, and Mad Max.
