Summary: Obedience. It was programmed into each human brain, carried along by nanite-infected blood inherited at conception or infected with on capture. The Wraith had enslaved the European continent with their nanites and Towers and now they had brought their cursed armies and nanites to the New World, conquering and turning cities as they went until they had an unshakeable foothold. The Blacksmith had been born under the curse of the nanites in the westernmost city of Wraith occupation but all of that was about to change.
