Numenera are the remnants of the great civilizations of the past, relics left behind for the denizens of the Ninth World to find.
Types of Numenera[]
Numerera can be anything from bio-engineered creatures, small devices, entire cities, bits of nanotechnology... No one understands how they work, or the technology behind them, but many re-purpose them to fit their needs and build devices of their own.
With such a broad definition that encompasses almost anything that one sets eyes on, the Ninth Worlders have split them into different categories, depending on their usefuless:
- Oddities are the least valuable, and rarely ever have a useful functionality.
- Cyphers are volatile devices that have a real, tangible use. They can only be used once, however, and carrying too many may give one 'cypher sickness'.
- Artifacts are the most valuable of numenera, they are very useful and can be used multiple times, unlike cyphers.
