Dust Runners

Description:

I found a nice little hole to sleep in last night and I didn't wake up till started to rain, well after the sun would have been up on a sunny day. Maybe today I’ll go into the Old City and try and find some stuff. Or I’ll see if I can find some more 'Runners and maybe we go take some other people's stuff. Softies are easier to take from than the Old City, unless someone promised them we wouldn't. Then those people get mad, and the softies get mad, and people yell a lot and I have to hide out for a while until everybody forgets about it. I hear there’s gonna be a big party tomorrow night ­ I guess I should play it safe so I can go.

In the wilder parts of the Range, there are rag­tag gangs of runaways, exiles, and child­soldiers who left whatever culture they were born in to run wild. They come together for many reasons; from wanderlust to press ganging. However they join up they are accepted as part of the pack, regardless of their background.

These dregs of society are derisively called Dust Runners or simply Dusters, a name they have taken to with pride. Dusters know how to stay hidden when they don't want to be found and are adept at “liberating” supplies and food. Unsurprisingly, they are commonly regarded as troublemakers and petty thieves.

However, it takes guts and skill to stay alive on the Range, and there are plenty of Dusters who are willing to fight side­by­side with those they call friends. In recent years, some groups of Dusters have negotiated peace with the factions in and around Beacon.
