The world of Nelwë has been, since the invention of the steam machine, divided into two opposing philosophies: the supporters of nature and the supporters of science. And the moment has come where everyone must choose a camp.

The way of Technology focuses on progress; they master steam, electricity, flying machines and alchemy, but tend to seriously neglect their environment. The progress that is made hinges on nature.

The way of Nature preaches a return to the earth and ancient animist traditions. All forms of technology should be destroyed since they are harmful. Communion with the environment and respect of the balance of nature is fundamental. But this harmony with nature includes no notion of progress.

While at the beginning of the game the player belongs to one of the neutral factions, you will have to choose a side during your adventures. Numerous secondary quests, as well as numerous dialogues and path items (leaf or cog) will allow you to earn loyalty points for one side or the other.
