The Human Refugee Crisis

Population Migration / Travel

Following the War of Human Attrition, thousands are left homeless, displaced, and scattered as factions once prevalent in the war are left decimated or absorbed into the remaining four factions that remain once the fighting ceases. Widows and orphans, sadly, make up the majority of this population, and cities throughout the once opulent Becht Empire, already strained for resources following the Blight and war, begin to close their doors to these poor and nationless people, leading to starvation and sickness. The changing climate of the planet, dropping temperatures, and lack of clean drinking water only exacerbate the issue further. Crime and lingering, post-war tensions eventually lead to violence unrest among the remaining human populations.

In the aftermath of the brutal War of Human Attrition, which ravaged the human lands across the globe, the consequences were dire and far-reaching. As the dust settled and the echoes of battle faded, the shattered remnants of once-mighty factions were left grappling with the grim realities of their new existence. Among the most tragic outcomes of the conflict was the plight of the displaced populace. Thousands found themselves suddenly homeless, their lives torn asunder by the relentless violence of war. Widows wept for their fallen husbands, while children became orphaned, their innocence stolen amidst the chaos of battle. These unfortunate souls, bereft of shelter and belongings, wandered the scarred landscapes like ghosts of a forgotten age.   Nowhere was the devastation more keenly felt than in the once-prosperous cities of the Becht Empire. Once bustling hubs of trade and culture, these urban centers now stood as grim reminders of the cost of conflict. Already reeling from the dual blows of the Blight and war, the cities struggled to accommodate the influx of refugees. With resources stretched to the breaking point, authorities were forced to make difficult decisions, often closing their gates to the desperate masses seeking sanctuary within their walls. The consequences of such callous actions were dire. Faced with starvation and sickness, the displaced found themselves pushed to the brink of survival. In the absence of adequate shelter and sustenance, disease ran rampant through their makeshift camps, claiming countless lives with merciless efficiency. The changing climate only served to compound their misery, as dropping temperatures and dwindling water sources further exacerbated their plight, yet, perhaps even more insidious than the physical hardships was the erosion of social cohesion and trust among the remaining human populations. Lingering resentments from the war simmered beneath the surface, fueling a sense of unease and mistrust. As resources grew scarce and tensions flared, crime rates soared, and once again, violence reared its ugly head.
