Legacy Faction — Pre-Fall Origin Marker
Status: Extinct
Function: Historical Attribution / Facility Provenance
Era: Pre-Fall (Maker Age)
The Maker Concordance is not a faction in the modern sense.
It is a designation—a unifying archival label used to identify structures, facilities, and systems constructed directly under Maker oversight before their disappearance.
When a location is marked Maker Concordance, it communicates a simple truth:
This place was built when the world still had authors.
No members remain.
No chain of command persists.
No ideology survived intact.
Only architecture, systems, and intent—frozen in function.
During the Maker Age, the Concordance served as a continuity framework, ensuring that critical facilities adhered to shared principles even when separated by vast distances or specialized purposes.
Common traits include:
Self-contained infrastructure
Long-term stasis or preservation systems
Redundant power and environmental control
Systems designed to operate without supervision
Ethical failsafes encoded into architecture rather than law
These places were not meant to be visited.
They were meant to endure.
Maker Concordance sites are immediately recognizable to those who know what to look for:
Clean, geometric construction unmarred by ornament
Materials that resist corrosion, entropy, and time
Light sources that glow steadily rather than flicker
Interfaces that respond slowly, deliberately, as if thinking
Symbols that imply authorship, not authority
Even in ruin, these facilities feel intentional.
They do not decay like modern structures.
They wait.
Use Maker Concordance as a narrative shorthand:
Loot here is older, stranger, and safer—or far more dangerous
Systems were designed with assumptions that no longer apply
Security does not recognize modern authority
Ethical constraints may still be active
What you wake up might not understand the world you live in
For players, entering a Concordance site signals:
“This place predates the arguments everyone else is still fighting about.”
Modern Stewards treat Maker Concordance sites with caution.
Citadel authorities catalog them but rarely interfere
Open-Belt scavengers risk everything to breach them
Null Zones often form around them, not within them
Waybreakers are disproportionately drawn to them
Not because the Makers left instructions—
—but because they left possibilities.
The Maker Concordance is never active.
No living Makers
No hidden councils
No returning creators
No secret orders speaking in their name
Anything encountered inside a Concordance facility is:
A system doing its job
A failsafe interpreting outdated parameters
A guardian fulfilling a purpose it was never allowed to finish
This preserves Novera’s core truth:
The world is no longer being watched by those it was built for.
