Faction Focus: B.M.C.

The Barrows Mining Coalition

Often referred to as the B.M.C in casual conversation, the BARROWS MINING COALITION is the founding financial faction of Oasis. Throughout the Drylands, AQUA VIDE DOLCE (AVD) is shipped. A specialty in these parts, AVD is bottled only in Oasis, itself within the Barrow’s Estate.

The coalition’s name is tied to the founder: ANTHONY BARROWS. Striking outward into the Drylands post-Upheaval to make a name for himself, he made more enemies made than friends along the way. His business dealings have been increasingly profitable and plentiful, the deeper into the wastes he’s ventured. Sponsored folk of the B.M.C. tend to be the explorers, the economically focused, as well as those those who want to make money… and not worry too much about where it comes from.

BOOTSTRAPPER BAYWALKERS (local variant) almost universally work for the BARROWS MINING COALITION, at least at some point in their lives. They’ve come to Oasis from the inlets and gulfs punched into the map of the southwestern corner of the wastes. Often, they have a tattoo or embroidered patch displayed prominently on their clothing to announce their fraternity with the B.M.C.

Additionally, members of the Elitariat PALACE family are sometimes sponsored by the B.M.C. This family tends to get their fingers into the business affairs of many other financial institutions, though, so you’ll want to look for the pink gem brooches that identify the ones in the B.M.C employ.

Really, any strain can (and probably will) work for the B.M.C at some point during their stay during Oasis, it’s really just a matter of time.
