Soon after the disaster, those who had changed too much to continue to be called humans began to appear: Lost. Their logic is often incomprehensible to ordinary people; they are shunned and feared.
The Lost ones wear masks and deaf costumes, so no one knows what exactly they are hiding underneath. If the mask is removed by force, then the person turns to dust. Only clothes remain, and everyone around them faints and can only remember a bright flash of blue flame. Many of these people then have nightmares and go into the desert, where they acquire their own mask.
Loners who received new knowledge or abilities, they gradually began to unite in groups, according to their talents and character. The Drifters are a fairly large group of the Lost. These are nomads who can survive in any natural environment, who visit the most remote corners of the Wasteland and take out rare artifacts from there.
Sometimes they act as intermediaries between the inhabitants of the Valley and the Lost living deep in the Wasteland, who can no longer think like people.
