Regions of Operation
The Anthropogen Research Group (ARG) has determined that the Vita Filorum is deeply entrenched within South Africa, exhibiting a remarkably widespread presence across the nation. Their operations span numerous provinces, indicating a complex and pervasive network of anomalous activity throughout the country. This extensive geographical distribution underscores the profound and multifaceted influence of the Vita Filorum.

| Free State | FS-CLARENS-GATE |
Golden Gate | The "Vredefort Resonance"; the rock formations vibrate in harmony with deep-space pulsars. |
| Free State | FS-SASOL-PLANT |

| Eastern Cape | EC-HOGS-FOREST |
Hogsback | "The Veil"; a forest region where the Euclidean geometry fails, making the woods significantly larger on the inside. |

Uniondale | Recurring "Apple Blossom" scent anomaly; triggers memories of a car crash in subjects who have never visited the area. |
