The Curators
Dominated by pure strain humans, but open to mutants and manimals, The Curators revere and worship all forms of ancient technology. The group is divided into two main sub-groups: the more orthodox Curators known as Conservators, and the far more open and liberal thinking Traders. Conservators believe that anything from the smallest trinkets to the most complex machines is a holy object to be kept and at least displayed. The Traders sect act as a more practical barter-based merchant class in most tribes and villages. They commonly trade in trinkets (small, otherwise worthless pieces of duralloy, plasteel, and permaglass) and much more rarely deal in functioning The Artifacts of The Ancients
The Curators are generally looked upon with the same eyes that most other Archaic Alignments are. The Traders are frequently seen passing through small villages and trading small artifacts. The Conservators are a little more elusive, given they refuse to sell even the most insignificant of artifacts.
