The earth was already dying when it happened. Tensions between the worlds powers had been building and all it took was the death of the one man who'd been fighting to keep peace. Then all hell broke loose. Earth was launched into a devastating nuclear war, that left most of the human population wiped out, along with most of the wildlife.

What wildlife did survive mutated and evolved. Nothing was strictly herbivorous any more. What was once a deer was now a large horned omnivore capable of ripping another animal apart or splitting skulls with its deadly hooves.

The planet had two permanent climates now. Winter in the northern hemisphere and desert wasteland in the south. The north was home to the wandering tribes of nomadic hunters who were mostly peaceful, relying on good relations with the other tribes for trade. They needed the extra furs or materials from each other to survive.

The desert clans in the south were another story all together. They scavenged weapons from the wreckage of cities and towns, as well as materials to throw together makeshift permanent dwellings on their lands. They were a warlike peoples, who resort to warring with each other to get what they want before thoughts of sharing even cross their minds. The clans all had at least one permanent dwelling of some sort in their territories, some getting to the point of being a fortress that they could fall back to in the event of full scale war. They also managed to keep vehicles in a working state and used them to patrol their borders or transport their men.

The northern Tribes never venture far from their homes, and the desert Clans are content with their war games and surviving by taking what they need by force. The encounters between the two peoples were few and far between.
