[Aberration Game Website](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/Walcher/Aberration/Aberration.html) You might want to bookmark this page if you’re playing in the Aberration game. Also, I realize the flags come from differing historical periods, but if you’re going to nitpick that I have the wrong flags for imaginary empires…you need help. ---
