Rail-Based Transportation: Cutting-edge for its time on Calmarith, rail systems are a symbol of progress and centralization. Though primitive compared to future eras, this technology begins to reshape geography and power.

Communications: Telegraph-style systems exist but are highly localized. Information is a weapon, often hoarded by the elite or Syndicates.

Weaponry: Ballistics-based weapons dominate, with customized rifles, revolvers, and experimental repeating arms being common among factions. Indigenous groups employ advanced traditional weaponry that often incorporates spiritual craftsmanship.

Early Mechanized Tools: Water-powered forges, prototype gearworks, and early mining technologies begin appearing in more industrial corners like the Portside District.

Indigenous Sovereignty: Indigenous groups maintain deep influence and cultural autonomy. Their language, customs, and spiritual beliefs are integrated into Sandorian society, especially through figures like Standing Bear.

Dress and Garb: A blend of rugged survivalist wear (dusters, reinforced boots, hand-woven materials) and emerging tailored fashions from merchant classes. The Bloodthorn wardrobe begins to introduce off-world noble aesthetics.

Architecture: Timber-based structures dominate rural zones, while the Portside District features imported stone, ironwork, and brick—preludes to cyber-era urbanization. The Chapel Ruins and Bloodthorn Mansion introduce gothic alien influences.

Music And Oral Tradition: Songs, fireside tales, and bardic recitations are central to both settler and Indigenous cultures. Each faction maintains its own forms of storytelling, encoding values and myths.

Spiritual Practice:Totemic systems, ancestor worship, and land-based spiritualism run parallel to outlaw philosophies and rising nihilism. The supernatural elements that linger beneath Sandor’s surface feed this unease
