>The legendary Autocurrus Armatus that make the Lomrian Empire's expansions possible did not come spawn from the ether. Scavenged from the farthest reaches of the world in order to maintain its existing fleet of machines, Lomria claims sole right to these vehicles made surely by their predecessors, and "lesser" peoples found attempting to harness their might are met with the full force of the Armatus which they cannot hope to match in skill. Any ruin of the old world that is reported to contain the possibility of housing old vehicles, even if they are derelicts, gains top priority of the Empire above all other expansions ambitions, and a vast road system has been made in order to ease the transport of these machines to the capital. Yet, Lomre is perhaps short-sighted when it comes to gauging the value of the ruin: tracked Armatus are coveted, other possible vehicles are not and it is not uncommon for Lomrian archeologists to dismiss them entirely as scrap to be melted down into weapons, or simply left alone if too much of a hastle to dismantle.
>The ease of access to these unwanted, lighter vehicles after all Armatus have been extracted and the thrill of exploring these ruins flees the public eye, has allowed certain nomadic tribes to capitalize on them and proliferate, creating war machines of their own in a crude mockery of Lomria's mechanized heritage. What the ancients would recognize as automobiles are re-purposed into war-wagons pulled by powerful horses and ridden by thrill-seeking barbarians who don fetishist leather gear and wear masks made out of parts scavenged from dilapidated cars, raiding caravans and nomadic villages close to the war system and sacrificing them to the dark gods who they reason created the holy roadways they ride and gifted them their war wagons. Their Shamen gather trinkets from the ruins in order to fashion powerful fetishes that are said to augment their vehicles and ensure victory.
