Old World Woman
Only those few who chose to spend their time reading the manuscripts of the Old World believed that the Heart Locket was more than a tall tale designed to keep the working man under control. In a world as cruel as this one, dripping in the kind of nihilism that any sane person would need to embrace to stay alive for long, the answer to all of the hardships the masses endure day after day couldn't be as simple as an Old World device that endows ultimate power to those who wield it. For hundreds of years, all of those poor dregs who were unfortunate enough to be birthed into this nightmare were told that the system they were born into was too complicated, too insurmountably guarded to be toppled. How could they hope to take control of the means of their way of life if those who hold the reins are so intangible? Nobody had ever seen these people, the shadows behind the curtains dispensing smaller and smaller rations, smaller paychecks, smaller glimpses of hope. How can you destroy what you can't even see?
