AK-50

A standard-issue AK-50/K, the AK-50's carbine variant.

The **AK-50** (a.k.a. "Torkachev automatic rifle model 2050") is an assault rifle developed by Torkachev Systemy Oruhiya for the UNSR as the replacement for the earlier AK-34 rifle. It follows a standard AK pattern, and is often praised for it's simple design and easy modification.

## Design

The final production model of the AK-50 is based on the Kalashnikov AK-400 prototype. The AK-50 is primarily chambered in 7.62x39mm cartridge, although Torkachev also offers the rifle in 5.56x39mm cartridge for it's carbine model.

As is regular of Torkachev rifles, the AK-50 can be set to three firing modes: semi-automatic, automatic, and safety. Additionally, the weapon's basic frame is fit with various attachment rails, making the AK-50 a highly customizable firearm.

## Variants

### AK-50

The final production model of the AK-50 assault rifle is said to be more reliable, more accurate, and better suited for combat than even the latest Russian military equipment. Chambered in 7.62x39mm, it is most appropriately utilized with a 30-round detachable magazine, although some prefer to use 60-round casket magazines.

### AK-50/K

With a shorter barrel and lower caliber than the default weapon blueprint, the AK-50/K is the AK-50's carbine variant. With a barrel that is 8.2 inches shorter than the average rifle, the AK-50/K is chambered in 5.56x39mm. It is often praised for it's smaller design and lighter build, and is primarily used with a 30-round detachable magazine.

### AK-501

Modified with a higher muzzle velocity, the AK-501 is a semi-automatic only variant of the AK-50. Often times, it is equipped with an 8x telescopic scope for long-ranged firing.

Katana

A **Katana** (**かたな** in Japanese)is an ancient form of traditional Japanese sword, often used by samurai (and other warriors through history) between the years of 1185 and 1945. After Japans defeat in World War II, it was rare that anyone used a katana for anything other than a family heirloom.

In modern day, many people in Japan (especially Tokyo) see katanas as legitimate weapons, once again. This is mainly due to their use by the infamous crime organization known as the Yakuza.

Katanas are very expensive, and very hard to master. Those that train in ancient Japanese martial arts often keep katanas; whether they use them or not.
"Tsetse"

(Marlowe Greene)

**Marlowe Greene** (known to many as **"Tsetse"**) was a Nightshade messenger that was often recognized by his cybernetic eyes that resembled that of a Tsetse Fly. He died during the ambush in Tunnel C6 in 2082, and was conducting an top-priority trade deal just before.

## Background

Not much is known about Marlowe's childhood and juvenile years, but supposedly he came to Tokyo in 2070 to purchase various cybernetic enhancements he could not find anywhere else. During his time there, he somehow got involved with Nightshade, and soon decided to stay there for good.

In 2073, Marlowe was afflicted by a strange for of cybernetic rejection that caused him to become addicted to getting body enhancements. By 2076, he had entirely replaced both his hands, as well as his eyes and lower legs, with cybernetic replacements in order to assist him in his line of work.

In 2080, Marlowe was promoted to the rank of Maven, and began leading missions. Most of the time, his task was to negotiate trade deals or deliver high-priority packages.

## Reputation Information

### Assignment

* Messenger
* Negotiator

It was in 2082, however, that he was directed to meet three representatives from the Guild of the Old Ones to receive a classified shipment of equipment. During the trade deal, they were ambushed by several individual looking to intercept the package, and Marlowe was killed when one of the attackers, Mauve, jumped down from a catwalk above and pierced his back with the blade of a katana.

## Trivia

* Marlowe was known for his poor hygiene.
* Just before his death, Marlowe killed Koji, a homeless man that his killers had hired to scout them out.
Desert of Gillian

The Desert of Gillian is a large, arid desert that covers most of the land bridge connecting the Western and Eastern Continents as well as some of the surrounding areas on both halves of the Continent. The Desert of Gillian is nearly inhospitable, with very few forms of life surviving in its harsh environment. Only a single oasis marks the center of the desert. The desert is bordered by the Crescentpeaks to the south and by the Great Ocean to the north. To the west, the desert blends into the Plains of Quint. In the east, it also turned into the grasslands of the Azure Steppes. The desert was originally named the Razorwind Desert, after its harsh dry storms that could supposedly cut through metal. It was renamed then after the first explorer to successfully traverse it.
Cybernetics

**Cybernetics** (or **Bionics)** is the science of merging biological tissue with technology. In 2040, cybernetic enhancements and prosthetic body parts reached a point where people could get them with extreme ease, and thus, the Cyber Age was born.

In the present day, it is estimated that around 70% of the human population has some form of cybernetic, whether it be for medical purposes or for "customization" (a common trend among young adults that involves voluntarily having one's body parts removed and replaced with expensive cybernetics).

## Uses

*For a full list of cybernetic modifications, see List of Cybernetic Modifications.*

Many people use cybernetics as a way to improve their quality of life. This includes medical cybernetics, such as pacemakers, basic prosthetic limbs, and cybernetic eyes. Some people get cybernetics to help them in their professions. For example, a welder might get a prosthetic arm with a plasma torch equipped, as well as an auto-darkening filter over the eyes.

Some dregs of society, such as mercenaries, bounty hunters, and criminals, get illegal cybernetics that can help them in their line of work. Such upgrades include concealed weapons, contraband compartments, and hacking software.

Those with money to spare can purchase A.I. implants to "plug in" an artificial intelligence that can assist the person in countless situations, accessing information on command, and even just providing company.

## Alternative Phrasing

While officially, the word "cybernetics" means a piece of technology that is made to assist a living creature by assimilating with it, many people use the word loosely.

The most common alternative use for the word is when someone is referencing somebody who has cybernetic enhancements. People who have minor cybernetic enhancements are not usually referred to as "cybernetics", although it is a vague term.

Shatterer's Gloves

***Wonderous item, rare (requires attunement)***

Shatterer's Gloves are gloves made of leather stained with white volcanic powder. Shatterer's Gloves are rare Whitehand artifacts from the Kurx Islands. The gloves were made by a sect of orc warlocks under the service of the Whitehand chieftains as weapons to use against the Blackears and Redbacks. There were several copies made before the Great War, usually found in the possession of relatives of the Whitehand chieftains but some pairs have found their way all across the Three Realms.

**Shattering.** The wearer can use an action to activate the Shatterer's Gloves. The wearer can choose to activate only one or both gloves. Shatterer's Gloves are enchanted with the ability to shatter hard materials held in the wearer's grip. Hardwood, stone, and steel can all be shattered. Harder materials such as diamond, mithril, or adamantine are not shattered, but make a loud vibrating sound. Soft materials such as leather, cloth, and softwood are not significantly affected. Magic items or surfaces enchanted with magic are also not affected.

**Shattering Touch.** To use the gloves in combat, the wearer must declare a specific body part or item within reach to target. Then the wearer makes an unarmed strike attack on its target called a Shattering Touch. If both of the wearer's hands are occupied (such as wielding a weapon/shield), they have disadvantage on the Shattering Touch attack. Instead of dealing damage with the Shattering Touch, the Shatterer's Gloves activates its Shattering effect on the target. Creatures in contact with a shattered surface take 1d6 piercing damage. If the target was a weapon, the weapon is damaged and cannot be used until the weapon is repaired. If the target was armor, the wearer of the armor loses 1 AC until the armor is repaired.
Koji

**Koji** was a homeless man living in Tokyo, who was killed during the ambush on Tunnel C6 (see "Buyer's Remorse").

## Biography

Little is known of Koji's background. What is known is that he was a homeless man from Tokyo, Japan who hung out in the alleyways of the Industrial District. At some point during this time, he borrowed a sum of 1000 Iedo from a local gang, who he never managed to pay back. During the last few months of his life, he would often be ambushed in the streets by thugs who would beat him within an inch of his life.

The day he died, he had been approached by a group consisting of "Big Papi", Cordelia Young, ZEUS, and Robert Smith. Asking for assistance during an ambush in a nearby electrical tunnel, he agreed to help if paid in food and shelter. He then lead the group through the dangerous alleyways he knew so well.

Just before they arrived at their destination, Koji was approached by two thugs that had harassed and beaten him previously. Now with greater numbers, Koji was able to avoid assault, but was told that this would be his final warning to pay them back. After they left, Koji asked the group he was leading if they could, instead, pay him the 1000 Iedo he required after he helped them. They agreed, and he happily lead them to the ambush site.

### Death

Upon reaching the ambush site in an intersection in Tunnel C6, "Big Papi" ordered Koji to stand out in the open, pretending to be a random homeless man. The intent was for Koji to provide reconnaissance for the rest of the group. However, upon being seen by the two parties that were to be ambushed, Koji was shot through the head with a C7300 revolver by the leading Nightshade envoy. His body was not recovered.

## Trivia

* Koji may have been living under a fake name, as he was living nearby Kojima Station, a metro station in the central Industrial District of Tokyo. However, this could have also been a simple coincidence.
* When he met the group he died with, Koji was dumpster diving, and was perhaps looking for food or money to the gang back with.
Activita

**Activita** is a rebel group (recognized as a terrorist organization by the Coalition) that is known for their anti-corporate ways, targeting large businesses and Coalition politicians.

While they wouldn't call themselves criminals, the members of Activita are supported by the black market organization known as Nightshade. This is often used by online media to demonize them.

## Organization

### Recruitment

Activita's members are typically young adults, brought in by secret online forums and gossip. Members of Activita are encouraged to seek out new members in the community, and will often enlist friends and family over random strangers. Recruits are taught how to use firearms, explosives, and to navigate their surroundings efficiently to evade capture.

### Ranking & Structure

Unlike most organizations, Activita does not have any official rank system, and their structure relies primarily on the most respected members. Decision-making is left up to the "inner circle" of members that formed the organization, but can be overturned through a majority vote.

### Leadership

Activita's leaders are chosen from how long they've spent serving the organization. A member since the beginning holds much more power than a member from a month ago. Leaders rarely find themselves on the battlefield, and are typically in charge of logistics, financials, boosting morale, and sometimes even public appearances.

The current top leaders in Activita are Alco Jones, Elvis Tarking, Meryl Voigt, and Jill Yuma, although Yuma was detained by Coalition Civil Forces in early 2082.

## Armory

Since they are funded only by Nightshade and by donations, Activita receives the equipment within their armory from black market traders. While they have been known to use the popular AK-50 rifle, Nightshade will often allow their members to purchase their own weapons.

## Code

Activita has a code of honor they make their members swear to. It goes as follows:

1. Civilians are not to be harmed in any way.
2. We are here to send the message of change, not anarchy. All plans must be consulted with a supervisor.
3. Capture is always better than killing.
4. Your brothers and sisters in the organization are your friends, and should be treated as such.
5. If you believe that someone in the organization is a rat/spy/traitor, do NOT take matters into your own hands.
6. Never tell anyone about Activita, unless you could trust them to die for you.

## Trivia

* Jill Yuma, one of Activita's original members, was captured in January of 2082, and is believed to be held in a detainment complex in Seoul, South Korea. However, since the city of Seoul is under heavy surveillance by the Coalition, her rescue has not yet been considered.
Kalashnikov Rifles

(Винтовки Калашникова)

**Kalashnikov Rifles**, or **Винтовки Калашникова** (formerly **Kalashnikov Military Industries**) is a Russian defense manufacturing concern and a joint-stock company headquartered in Voronezh. Established directly after the division of Kalashnikov Concern in 2054, Kalashnikov was formed from the civilian weapons department of the Russian defense manufacturer, and now strictly designs rifles. There was, however, a period of time when Kalashnikov Rifles designed a series of handguns, including a revolver.

Kalashnikov Rifles develops about 15% of all manufactured arms in Russia, and is often overshadowed by Torkachev Systemy Oruzhiya, another company deriving from Kalashnikov Concern. It's current CEO is Stefan Karaychevka.

## History

### Separation from Kalashnikov Concern

Due to legal troubles and financial issues, the defense manufacturing company known as Kalashnikov Concern split into three separate companies; Kalashnikov Rifles, Torkachev Systemy Oruzhiya, and Kalibre Gunsmiths.

Before then, Ruslan Kuznetsiya was part of Kalashnikov's lead development team, and was tasked with investigating new ideas for firearms. After the company divided, Kuznetsiya and the development team battled the other divisions of Kalashnikov Concern in court over who would obtain the savings from the company. In the end, Alexei Torkachev won his company 70% of Kalashnikov's funding, leaving 15% for both Kuznetsiya and Janus Deising (the founder and CEO of Kalibre Gunsmiths).

Due to a lack of funding and improper management, Kalashnikov Rifles has been known as the least successful of the companies. They primarily create civilian rifles, though some of their early products were more experimental.

## Products

*Main article: List of Kalashnikov Products*

As stated previously, Kalashnikov mainly deals in making civilian rifles. During their beginning years, Kalashnikov designed handguns. One their most well known products is the Petrov SVD sniper rifle.
KGB

(KGB)

The **KGB**, initialism for **Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti** (Russian: Комите́т госуда́рственной безопа́сности (КГБ)), translated in English as **Committee for State Security**, is the main security agency for the Union of New Socialist Republics since 2048. As a direct "reformation" of the soviet-era KGB, the committee is now tasked with protecting the General Secretary of the UNSR, as well as the Congress of Peoples' Deputies, using high-grade military equipment and intensive training.

A small division of the KGB known as "KGB-Ultra" was formed in 2050 as a war for the current General Secretary of the UNSR to eliminate political enemies and to carry out covert missions with military support.

## Operation

The KGB operates four forms of espionage: (i) political, (ii) economic, (iii) military-strategic, and (iv) disinformation, effected with "active-measures" counter-intelligence and security.

### KGB-Ultra

The private special forces that takes orders from the General Secretary of the UNSR, KGB-Ultra's tasks involve more active combat deployment than the rest of the agency. With individual agents being assigned false names, they target enemies of the UNSR, including those within the government. Interrogation, kidnapping, torture, and assassination are common tactics utilized by KGB-Ultra, striking fear and paranoia into the hearts of anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path.

Love-Buzz

#### *"It's in the air."*

***Love-Buzz*** is a six-shot revolver designed to hold 20 gauge shotgun shells. It was originally owned by Smitty McCowell, the previous owner of the famous Tokyo nightclub, *The Happy House.*

## Design

*Love-Buzz* is designed with it's barrel aligned with the lowest chamber, instead of the top chamber, like most revolvers. The hammer is also adjusted so that it hits the bottom chamber.

The most crucial idea when designing *Love-Buzz* was stopping power, so of course, it is chambered for 20 gauge shells. While buckshot and birdshot are common shells used with the revolver, it is described as "most effective" with slugs. However, while this increases accuracy, it also decreases the power of each shot.

The sheer power that *Love-Buzz* uses to fire is so strong that it is recommended that users wear ear protection.

Amulet of Infidelity

***Artifact (requires attunement)***

An enchanted bronze amulet attached to a silver chain. This amulet was created thousands of years ago by an unnamed enchanter wizard who caught his wife having an affair. The wizard intended the user of this amulet to feel intense attachment and familiarity with people they touch. However the wizard rolled a natural 1 when crafting it, and the amulet instead affects items that the user touches. When the wizard gave the amulet to his wife, he was shocked to find that his wife did not feel any different towards him. Frustrated, he locked the amulet away with other unused magical items. Eventually the wizard's wife left him and he lived the rest of his life alone. The amulet was found by a certain member of the Blackbird Mercenary Company investigating the wizard's old abandoned home.

**Infidel's Attunement.** The wearer of this amulet can be attuned to as many as 5 magical items at once, instead of the normal 3. In addition, the user is attuned to a magical item as soon as they equip or wear the item and can take advantage of its full effects. Items limited by race or class are not affected, unless the wearer is of that certain race or class.

**Spontaneous** **Proficiency.** The wearer of this amulet automatically gains proficiency with any weapon they wield or armor type they wear. If the wearer already has proficiency, they do not gain any additional bonus.

Projected Energy Shield

A **projected energy shield** is the blanket-term used to identify any device that creates a shield from a projected energy cell. Projected energy shields are primarily used in combat, and are often attached to armored vehicles, since ballistic object can pass through from the inside, but not the outside.

## Classifications

There are two ways that manufacturers and scientists classify projected energy shields.

### Energy Type

There are three types of energy that can power a projected energy shield; plasma, proton, and hardlight. Plasma energy shields are the cheaper of the three, and produce a transparent blue, white, or purple surface that glows quite brightly, depending on it's power. Plasma energy shields cannot (under any circumstances) recharge, and require a new plasma cell after it has shut off. Proton energy shields are similar, but glow a fainter orange or red, and can recharge if they are shut off for a short period of time. Finally, hardlight shields are the most recent and expensive invention in energy shield technology. They glow a brilliant white-blue and are almost impossible to breach through standard means. However, their power source must be recharged very often, or be connected to a ginormous power source, often not fit for portable use.

### Power Grade

To describe the amount of collective stopping power and durability that an energy shield has, manufacturers assign their products a power grade. There are four power grades, from 1 to 4.

* **Power Grade 1:** The energy shield is quite flimsy and will not protect you from a flurry of deadly blows, and is essentially a high-tech Kevlar vest.
* **Power Grade 2:** The energy shield has decent endurance, but is a far cry from blocking an explosive round.
* **Power Grade 3:** The energy shield is fit for military use, and can take a beating.
* **Power Grade 4:** The energy shield cannot be broken through standard means.
Frinch

Frinch is a paladin of Heironeous working with the Blackbird Mercenary Company from Menetar. He considers success in combat to be the highest form of personal worth, believing that most conflicts can be solved by simply defeating your enemy. He also holds some respect for wizards due to their diligence, but otherwise distrusts spellcasters because of their "cowardly" methods for fighting.
Culver Museum and Enchantery

Background:TBA

Nicknames:"Transvideo from Brazil's younger cousin", "Portugeuse acid trip"

Logo:We see a camera open up, & a gray block appears which has multiple black tiny squares, & the company name appear. It then changes white, & dark yellow in a transition downwards fashion. It makes a spark that follows to a grid background with the word "Picture" on both static screens, & the company name on both the top, and the bottom of the screen which later on lets a cinema strip appear, and again with the company name. It later transits to a different screen with the same cinema strip we saw before sliding to the right, and the numbers "8", "6", and"4" appear in an old 16mm fashion. It later transits to a warning screen.

## Why it's a ripoff

Its name is stolen from a Brazillian company.
Allen Sheetwind

Allen Sheetwind is the bartender for the Blackbird Guildhall. He provides the members of Blackbird Mercenary Company complementary drinks. Allen is also well versed in local knowledge, being in good contacts with various alcohol suppliers and other bartenders in Tellemetra. He often informs Blackbirds of local events and rumors around the city.
Guardianship

The Guardianship is the name for the combined military of the United Mortal Confederation. They function as a peacetime garrison and police force for all members of the confederation. The Guardianship is heavily sectioned, with Guardianship branches preferring to work more closely with local governments rather than following the hierarchy. However all Guardians ultimately follow the Stewardship of Peace.

The Guardianship was formed after the Great War as part of the Tellemetra Accords. As per the Accords, the standing militaries of each member nation in the United Mortal Confederation would restructure and unify into one force capable of defending the confederation from any domestic or extra-planar threat.

## Organization

The Guardianship is headed by a single Guardian General, who resides in the ancient fortress of Rema. The Guardian General is an elected position that is largely ceremonial, only becoming necessary in times of war or anarchy. The current Guardian General is General Durand.

There are four main branches in the Guardianship, each led by a commander:

* The Valley Garrison, based in Menetar and led by Commander Marg. The Valley Garrison is the largest of the four branches and is tasked with defending most of the mainland Western Continent. It also has the responsibility of maintaining good relations with the Kingdom of Illumina and the Empire of Judek, meaning the Guardians of the Valley Garrison will often serve as ambassador's guards or be displayed as a show of force when necessary.
* The Shimmering Fleet, based in Lantis and led by Commander Erson. The Shimmering Fleet is the second largest of the four branches and is tasked with patrolling the waters around the Continent and its satellite islands. The Shimmering Fleet also maintains the Northlands and protects Polt from any threats beyond the ice.
* The Lake Garrison, based in Rema and led by Commander Jeneev. The Lake Garrison is tasked with watching for any threats from the Eastern Continent, as well as maintaining an elaborate messenger network for the entire Guardianship using carrier pigeons and magical items. As such, the Lake Garrison specializes mostly in the arts of espionage and information.
* The Green Corps, based in Elleria and led by Commander Vosli. The Green Corps is the smallest of the four branches, but its members are often regarded as the best trained. The Guardians in the Green Corps function in many different hostile environments and often deal with more terrible threats than the other three branches. They patrol the Crescentpeaks and the Forest of Nep, and deal with diplomatic relations with the Free Guilds of Elid.

Under each commander is a number of captains, all of whom lead a Company and typically work more closely with local governments. Each captain may have one or more lieutenants who command their own Brigade, usually numbering around a hundred Guardians. Furthermore, captains and lieutenants may have sergeants under them to manage individual small Units of about ten soldiers.
White Panther Guild

The White Panther Guild is a guild of adventurers and mercenaries based in Tellemetra. The guild is relatively young, only two years old, and was founded by former Blackbird member Tal'Gora the Pale. However they have made significant progress in the short span of time and currently have 20 members. The White Panther Guild also has a guildhall located in the Guildfields, as well as an outpost within the Shaking Woods.

## Organization

The White Panther Guild is led by owner and founder Tal'Gora. She controls all functions of the guild. All members are considered equals, with the only hierarchical factor being the amount of gold rewards they have accumulated from doing missions at the Association of Heroes. Members often refer to each other by their reward totals rather than by name. Members with high reward totals reserve the right to lead lower ranked members in missions, but can pass the right on to whoever they feel is appropriate to lead.

## Members (Reward Total)

### Members

* Zarax (62,300 gp)
* Shee (2,100 gp)
* Dennis (50 gp)
Setting

## Synopsis

Celestium, Mortium, and Abyssium: three separate planes of existence, each with its own great history and varied assortment of creatures and cultures. Two thousand years ago, the first interplanar gates became the catalyst for the millenium-long Great War that nearly brought the Three Realms to ruin. Through the combined efforts of the nations of Mortium, the conflict ended and an uneasy peace was established. For a thousand years, the Three Realms have maintained this peace despite their extreme differences in culture and ways of life. However tensions between the planes have become strained as of late, as a fourth plane of existence, Draconia, has been discovered...

Blue triangular lines appear forming a mountain with a hole in the middle. The letters,"T","O", & "P" appear on screen as well, thus forming the word "Top". It evantually comes back to the brown background, but instead it shows a picture of the logo, & 2 Spanish words at the bottom.

## Why it's a ripoff

The name makes it a very obvious ripoff of the South Korean Top Video.

Mutt was rescued as an infant by Tal'Gora the Pale from a giant spider's nest, and was raised by her and Garrott Blackbird to be a strong, capable warrior. Mutt developed a disorder from being paralyzed by spider venom at a young age that prevents him from retaining his grip. Though the disorder was eventually cured by the efforts of Jules, Mutt prefers not to use weapons and instead pummels his adversaries with his fists.
Ring of Perpetuity

***Artifact (requires attunement)***

A silver inscribed ring created by the legendary enchanter Cranx of Menetar's Arcanist Guild. The ring was stolen 200 years ago from the Arcanist Guild vaults by an unknown thief, it's whereabouts lost even to the guild's master diviners. The ring was recently found by a member of the Blackbird Mercenary Company in the possession of a troll wearing it as a tooth ring in the Quint Mountains.

**Permanency.** The ring holds the special property of allowing its user to give a spell an infinite duration without the usual requirement of maintaining a spell effect for a year. The user must wear the ring while initiating a spell permanency, then roll 1d4 dice per spell level of the attempted spell. The result is the number of days it will take to finish making the spell permanent. The user becomes aware of the time period it will take to make a spell permanent. If the ring is not worn when reapplying the spell, the effect will end and the user will resume the normal one-year permanency duration. If the user wears the ring after the effect ends, they must re-roll for the days, and the shortened duration restarts with the new roll's results.

**Enchanter's Ring.** The user gains an +2 Arcana insight bonus while the user wears the ring. The user can also craft items at triple the normal speed, though at triple the crafting cost.
Stewardship of Peace

The Stewardship of Peace is the overarching vow taken by all members of the Guardianship in the United Mortal Republic. Written as part of the Tellemetra Accords, the Stewardship outlines the necessary function for all Guardians to maintain and promote continuing peace in Mortium, by any means necessary. Despite its contradictory nature, the Stewardship's flexibility and overarching nature has allowed the Guardianship to act effectively and immediately without bureaucracy or the general public blocking their efforts. Though this sometimes causes friction between Guardians and the people of the Confederation, the common understanding of the Stewardship's purpose allows for the eventual resolution of conflicts.
Plains of Quint

The Plains of Quint encompass almost the entire northern half of the Western Continent. The plains consist mostly of rolling grassy hills, rocky steppes, and the occasional small temperate forest. The Dustbreeze Mountains cover a large portion of the northern and northeastern border of the Plains of Quint. However a small valley leading to Zain Island briefly interrupts the Dustbreeze range. To the southwest of the plains is the Menetar Valley, with the western coast of the plains turning into the Iron Range as it travels south. South is the Forest of Nep as well as the Great Lake of Rowan. To the east is the broad Desert of Gillian. The Great Gem Road runs through the center of the plains, with many settlements along it belonging to the Commonwealth of Quint Cities.

Colt M2172

An unmodified Colt M2172.

The **Colt M2172** (also known as the *Modern Pistol* is a magazine-fed, recoil-operated, single-action, semi-automatic pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. It's the long-awaited successor to the Colt M1911, and is the most popular firearm in the world since it's production in 2072.

## Design

The final production model of the Colt M2172 is almost identical to the M1911. However, the M2172 has a small Piccatiny rail in front of the trigger, holds a larger magazine, and has a much more "modern" look to it. Most models have a plasteel frame, though some can be found with steel.

The basic principal of the M2172 is recoil operation. As the combustion gases force the bullet down the barrel, they give reverse momentum to the slide and barrel which are during this portion of the firing cycle. After the bullet has left the barrel, the barrel and slide continue rearward a short distance. At this point, the barrel stops in it's original position, but the barrel continues backwards a bit, releasing the shell from the chamber. From there, the next round makes it's way into the chamber, just in time for the slide to come back into place.

## Statistics

### Colt M2172

* **Weight:** 2 lbs
* **Damage:** 5 (1d8) piercing
* **Action:** Semi-automatic
* **Ammunition:** 8 (.45 ACP)
* **Range:** 30/120 ft.
* **Attachment Rails**
	+ Sight (Small)
	+ Frame
	+ Underbarrel (Small)
	+ Muzzle

## Trivia

* According to a series of studies taken by the Coalition in 2081, over 72% of gun owners living on Coalition territory own at least one Colt M2172.
Dustbreeze Mountains
