I'll give ya some advice, son. Don't get friendly with them Seekers, except when you're doing business with 'em, ya know. They know about the Ancient Age, but they're asking for trouble. Did ya know that the Empire started out as a band of Seekers? There purpose was to make life better for us here in this desolate unforgiving world. They eventually lost sight of that purpose, as they gained power. As they uncovered and resurrected more and more Ancient age technology, their minds became clouded and the hope and desire to free the people from the will of the Ancients, became replaced with the hunger for greed and power. Thus the Empire was born. I'm surprised there are still any original Seekers left. They still aren't all that good though. How can the Seekers desecrate the ruins the way they do? Don't they fear the Gods? Tinkering with ancient technology should be forbidden, if you ask me. Technology is the reason why this world is the way it is, an almost completely devastated wasteland.

The Empire were original Seekers, before becoming corrupted with greed.
