"The stories of the Desolation aren't found in grand histories or official records - they live in the voices of those who've walked the mud lands, breathed the toxic air, and somehow lived to tell about it. These tales come from clone workers in their brief moments of freedom, from scavengers around flickering fires, from City Watch veterans drowning nightmares in Praga's taverns.
Each story carries the weight of lived experience in a world where tomorrow is never guaranteed. They speak of small victories and terrible losses, of bonds forged in desperation and hope discovered in the darkest places.
Listen carefully - these voices may be all that remains of us when the wasteland finally claims its due."
