• Yellow players are neutral. You won't be able to attack them unless you turn on PvP, and your AoE abilities will have no effect on them. Killing a yellow player gives you karma points
• White players are neutral players 3 or more levels below you. Killing white players will give you lots of karma and immediately make you a Criminal.

• The clans of Faidens roam among the waterless deserts on mechanical devices and are in never-ending war with the bloodthirsty bigots, and don’t back down from principles of honor and valor.
• The Yorners reshape Kwalat with their powers of steam and money: they transform lifeless glacier into an engineering miracle of astounding scale.
• The Quaddari built on swamps a community of limitless opportunities. But corruption, crime, and intrigues abound underneath their slogans of absolute freedom. Most of the population lives in dire poverty and whatever its inhabitants have in savings is only spent on fashionable implants. The dirty slums glow in neon billboards.
