Several power groups inhabit frontier, these are:

The Saurons

Saurons are a race of reptilian humanoids that are the true rulers of Frontier. They come in many forms from the highly intelligent priest king rulers to the enormous brutal enforcers. Their culture and outward appearance is very similar to that of the Aztec/Toltec culture of South America. They are experts in the archaic science/magics of bioengineering that they use to create Abominations and Kindred. Abominations are the huge mindless creatures used as slaves by the Saurons for tasks involving heavy labour. They are 'sculpted' by the Saurons using their sorcery bioengineering techniques.
Kindred otherwise known as beast men, these too have been created by the Saurons again as slaves but this time to be used as shock troops. Some of the Kindred have escaped bondage and have formed their own 'packs'. Needless to say they hate the Saurons.

Forest Sidhe

The once indigenous population of Frontier. These were the rulers of the many fine jungles cities until the arrival of the Saurons over a millennium ago. All but wiped out now, the Forest Sidhe fight a guerrilla war against the Sauron invaders. The Forest Sidhe now leads a tribal life in the thick forests and woods that cover Frontier.

Tribes

There are many human tribes in Frontier they have a similar culture to the Mohicans of North America. They are on friendly trading terms with the Forest Sidhe and often help them out in hunting, ambushing and raiding the Saurons. The Tribes are all name after some totem, and individuals usual have a animal totem given to them in a dreaming ritual as they come of age.

The Settlers

Many people have fled the shard of Salem due to religious persecution and chose to settle in the new world of Frontier. These lead a nomadic lifestyle moving around in large wagon trains for protection. Many of these settlers have gone native and dress in buckskin clothing. The Church in Salem often sends mercenaries into Frontier to try and dispense 'judgement' to those who have escaped their religious duties.

Settlements & notable locations

The Tribes form no real permanent settlements, and borders are ill defined, disputes over borders are resolved by the Emerald Claw, a chief of chiefs elected by some random method only known to the tribes.

The Settlers however have formed a few settlements most notably Yagyakarta in the South home to rich merchants houses from many a land exploiting the resources of Frontier, it is home to all sorts of scum and villainy it is a growing thorn in the native tribes side.

Other notable settlements that unlike Yogyakarta have come to some sort of truce with the Tribes are Fort William and New Tara created by Salemite refugees, some settlers have even gone native adopting the Tribes traditions.

The Tribes and Settlers occupy the central strip of land running from the north to south coast of Frontier, to the east of them is lands occupied by the Saurons, little is known of the towns and cities of these land. Between the Saurons and the Tribal lands is Salt flats a area impassible by Saurons because of their salt intolerance.

To the west of the Tribal lands are unexplored territories, no one ventures into them and no one as yet uncovered their extent.
