Tales of a Grimdark World Notepad 1

On Aetena the Gamemakers are divided into three societies, the hive city of Primus, in Craven-001, the Maddened in the shanty town around the Exile Spire and the Clan-Kin of the surface.

The hive city of Primus is ruled by the Gamemaker Order, still following the same caste system and culture as they did in Panam, on Earth. The humans have also been assigned to castes of their own. Hive Primus is located in Craven-001, a forest of Gothic spires growing from the floor. Built from concrete made from the silicate rock. The settlement is divided into sectors that have differing purpose, such as A-2, a hydroponics sector containing former District Eleven settlers and B-32, a electronics making sector containing setters from District Three.

Each sector is a a spire of its own, growing from the floor like jagged teeth. The spires are predicted to merge in times to come. Life in the spires is highly regimented, and living areas tight. Each setter gets a small pod to sleep in and that is it, shared via hot bunking. Clothing is caste uniforms constituting of colored tunics and pants similar to those worn by the Avoxes of Panam. Food consists of nutri-paste and water, strictly rationed. Everybody follows a strict schedule that is in a chip implanted in their arm.

Castes:

Makers-of-Parts: Former members of D1 and D3, their role is to make the machines, electronics and electrics that the Gamemaker Order relies on. They wear dark blue.

Workers-of-Darkness: Often CI-Class Avoxes, along with people from the former District Four, their role is sewer maintenance, waterworks, tunnel repair, waste incineration and grid relay inspection. They wear black, waterproofed canvas.

Labors-of-Need: The ones assigned to heavy labor, such as quarry hauling, foundry work, rail shifting, construction support and structural demolition, are often IHL-Class Avoxes and people from former XXX. They wear bright orange, with harnesses for equipment.

Growers-of-Food: Working in the hydroponics farms, these former District Nine, and Eleven people grow the food for Hive Primus. Their role to is to grow, pack and ship the food the Hive relies on. They wear dark green.

Givers-of-Parts: For people with disabilities, the conically lazy, the elderly or ill who cannot work, a grim fate waits them. Shuffled into this caste, they serve as test subjects, organ banks, blood banks and experimental labor, hazard testing. The Order considers them useless for anything else. They wear white.

Servers-of-Gamemakers: Serving the Gamemakers directly are SD-Class Avoxes who wait on the needs of the High Nobility and Royal Family. They also operate the lifts that connect the floors of the hives. They wear muted cream.

Keepers-of-Law: The Peacekeepers, and those who support them. Most hail from the former District Two.
