Salem Current Background  

To understand Salem history you need to understand a people who for their own protection have been oppressed and kept in the dark for many hundreds of years. Occasional uprisings do occur, but most strong freethinkers leave Salem seeing change as an impossible task.

The population at large lives in a broadly feudal system where those at the top handle politics and they just try to grow enough food to survive and not draw too much attention.
