* TechnologyLevels: The game differentiates 6 levels of technlogy, assinged to every item and settlement, with Tech I represents stone-age level and Tech V being the transhuman technology of the Bygones. Tech VI items are those strange, weird, highly developed artifacts, which even the Chromiclers struggle to comprehend. Many of them have the logo of Project Free Spirit...

You can also download various other things from the website. This includes pre-made characters for ''Harm's Way'', wallpapers, maps of various cities and other locations in the world, the game's font for fanmade project, and even a story outline for a potential future movie.

* AfricaIsACountry: Gameplaywise, Africa is treates as a singular Culture. In the lore, one of the main reason why Africans became united were the [[AlienKudzu Psychovores]]. They have managed to erase the traditional African languages and replace it with a singular new one, the Warui. The Scourgers see it as a gift from their ancestors.

* AnimalMotifs: The Crow and the Lion. The Crow represents Europe, as they are scavangers living on the ruins of their civilization. The lion represents Africa, as the Climate change made them prosperous and the Warui unified them, making them a force to be reckoned with. This allegory is most often used [[InUniverse in-universe]] by the latter.

* TheAlternet: Before the Eshaton, it existed the Stream. It was a global network of information, which unified all of the other forms of media and it became the integral part of life for many people. For some, they couldn't even imagine their life outside of it. They were the Streamers. Right before the Eshaton, a ComputerVirus hit the Stream, causing a lot of problems, then the meteors destroyed it. Nowadays, the Chroniclers only has ascess to the Static Stream, which pales compared to the original one in many ways. One of the cult's main goal is to restart Stream, and bring back all the lost knowledge.

* Various Clan Supplements (''Clans of the Moloch'', ''Clans of the Frontier'', ''Clans of the Rhone'', ''Pneumancers'', ''Exalters''), which expand the lore of the various clans, making them playable, and the last one also explaining the history of the lost city of Exalt.

* TheEveryman: Unlike other Cults, the Clanners don't represent a singular organisation. Rather, they can represent any large group of people living togerher, or working towards a common goal. From stone-age level primitives, wandering nomads, sedentery farmers, or an advaced settlement built on a ruins of an old bunker. ''Katharsys'' even gives a guide on how to create your own Clan.

* FutureImperfect: For the vast majority of humanity, the world before the Eshaton is an enigma. Since over 500 years since then, many generations have come and gone, and many everyday knowledge have been lost. The event itself have become a source of new myth and religious metaphors for many. Even the Chroniclers, the most advanced Cult is having problems understanding it completely. Only a handful of people is truly aware humanity's past glory.

* GratuitousLatin: The Judges, espcially the Advocates faction, have a habbit of using latin expressions in their speeches. Like calling the Supreme Judge "Primus inter pares", the public trial "Coram publicio", ending their final sentence with "Punctum!" (That's it!) etc. Even the Protectors' BattleCry is Per Aspera ad Astra (through hardships, to the stars)

* GrimUpNorth: Few years after the impact, the Earth cooled downn and the climate turned for the worse in the Scandinavian countries. The blizzards pushed the locals to their limits, who then fled down south. Nowadays there is a big ice wall, which slowly advances down south a few meters every year.

* SyntheticPlague: [[spoiler: Turns out that the HIVE virus was created by the Recombination Group.]]
