ok but literally why does this need to even be said. the grounders are not primitive, nor should any synonym of the word be applied. again, the sky people, by your definition, are also living in a "much reduced state from 2051." why do you need to clarify that grounders are living in a "much reduced state from 2051"??? they're living on earth after a nuclear apocalypse.............

For the same reason you need to clarify what station components the Ark have, because people come to the wiki to find all the info.. whether it so to discuss the show various aspects, RP or whatever..

So again skyz, how would say describe the grounder much reduced state (if you can do the same for the Sky people later, it would be great )

They are generally groups with a primitive age lifestyle, with their own beliefs, culture, practices and with their own language.


 * Unnecessary, subjective, and false speculation and assumption

No, again this is just your opinion that you pass under guise of something.

This line expand on the previous statement that the grounder society has been much changed from its predecessors a century ago. The part about 'culture, language, practices and beliefs' (in that order) is a summary of what is covered next in this section and the three sub-section that follows i.e. Trigedasleng, Death by a Thousand Cuts) and belief the commander spirit, for example.

Same goes with 'primitive age lifestyle' which was a concise way to say that they aren't sitting on some magic treasure trove of 21c technology(unlike many post-apoc stories) but live of nature, mostly with earlier age lifestyle(no, TP!), which also leads in the paragraphs about improvised weapons\armor.


 * At the time of the Ark descent eastern United States of America landscape consist of twelve fractious clans and nomads.


 * Misleading. All 12 Clans were already in the Coalition when the Ark descended to Earth so they weren't "fractious." This entire sentence needs to be reworked.

Originally I used 'during Season One'. The intent is to provide a time-frame and location. Since all that follows about the "grounders", survivors on earth, is from recent times and from this region. Do you have a better suggestion?


 * Normally politically divided the twelve clans were united for the first time under Commander Lexa Coalition for the common goal of fight against Mount Weather.

We do know that in grounders warrior society kids start training at young age; that they are divided by Clan, most too far from MW reapers, in post-apoc world with scares resources; we don't know whether they were united by the commander before the coalition; that they have been hostilities among tree and ice as far as few years ago. What do you suggest?
 * Incorrect. We don't know how they were divided nor how many clans were divided with how many other clans. This entire sentence needs to be reworked.
