The False are those factions who deal with the Contagion in the most destructive ways, whether trying to exploit it or to wipe it out.
Overview[]
The three main factions of False all have distinct approaches to the Contagion, each distinguishing them from the Sworn in some way.
- The Crucible Initiative fights the Contagion with scorched-earth tactics
- The Machiavelli Gambit believe the Contagion can be manipulated to further their ends
- Naglfar's Army believe the Contagion can't be stopped, so all that matter is surviving it (or having a good time on the way out).
While a False faction may be formed of many different supernatural beings, they are generally united in self-interest. Few of them have any hope the Contagion can actually be contained, much less cured; some are ex-Sworn who have given up on fighting, while others never even tried. Angels, Pure tribes, Seers of the Throne and the like are all most likely to be found among the False than the Sworn, but they're far from the only members. Necessity can make some very strange bedfellows.
All False, regardless of faction, can wield the Vector of Contagion.
