Scorchlanders
Scorchlanders survive the heat that wears other races down. The Holy Nation simply cannot forgive them for being different.
A dark-skinned human race built for the desert — capable, but persecuted by the Holy Nation.
Overview
Scorchlanders are a human race adapted to harsh, hot environments, with stat profiles that favour resilience in desert conditions.
Strengths
Scorchlanders cope well with the wasteland's heat and make solid, well-rounded characters across most builds.
Weaknesses
The Holy Nation persecutes Scorchlanders, treating them as lesser. Living a Holy Nation-aligned game with a Scorchlander squad is difficult.
Best Playstyles
Desert-based squads, United Cities and Shek-aligned play, and any run that does not need Holy Nation goodwill.
