"Aside from the warring factions of the Savage Core, there are the Encounters. The independents who have made their way into the Primordial underworld through their own means, or stumbled upon it.
There are many ways to come upon these neolithic lands, perhaps by chance or design, through cold ice caverns, or the treacherous jungles of the tropics, by doughty explorers armed with an ancient fragment of a map, the hints of a few lines of Classical poetry, or merely their own sense of adventure or greed.
The Core lures the stray in a myriad of ways, by misfortune, fame or greed, these outlanders have found themselves in a world so unlike their own, many do not survive long. Those few who do are changed by the hostile environment, often abandoning the things from their homes which have become useless to them, instead adopting local habits which may help them to survive. In this way, they may present a bizarre sight, modern anthropologists or lost orphans with spear or bone knife, or those who have aligned themselves with some faction or other in order to eventually escape these lands or merely to eat and live."
