Spearheaded by technologically advanced humans from their network of flying cities (also referred to as the High Cities), the Reclamation Project’s goal is to Bring Civilization Back to a world they believe has fallen into barbarism. They control wide territories that they use for agriculture, mining for resources, etc., and will be the first to tell you that they “bring prosperity and technological advance” to those regions. It’s not untrue, but it’s also a fact that 90% of the benefits from Reclamation are sent straight up to those floating cities, while the people down on the ground still often lead hard lives.
