prologue

In This new world Only The Vigilant Survive.

     In the future the world as we know it has drastically changed. A sudden plague, known as The Turn, has wiped out most of the population. The immune survivors were left to share this new Dead Earth with the Undead. The effect of the outbreak has littered the landscape with ghost towns and vacant cities. The living scattered and rebuilt self governing settlements. Some of these settlements became territorial warring tribes. Some settlers that desired a peaceful self sustaining lifestyle moved far away from these violent tribes. They founded the New Hope compound from an abandoned academy. There was peace for a time.

Rumors of a new life

     While the isolation allowed those people to live in peace, the world was continuing to change. Defending themselves from the immortal Undead and farming the land kept them distracted, People started hearing rumors from travelers. Stories of a utopian city of free humans with advanced Tech using robot guardians to protect its inhabitants. Many of New Hopes settlers left this isolated town to be a part the fabled "Robot City". After more years passed word spread of a critical failure in the programing of these so called guardians of Robot City. These settlers will soon learn that what they don’t know can definitely hurt them.

What The future holds

     It would become known as the "Automation Massacre". All of Robot City's residents where rumored to be slaughtered by the Robots that protected them. Some say it was the birth of A.I., others say it was a glitch. Many people deny the existence of the city entirely. Claiming it is just a trap set by war tribes to lure gullible travelers. No one knows if the city is real and who guards its hidden treasures.

     Now whispers of a new presence has found its way to the eager ears of these distant settlers. A dominate war tribe calling themselves Imperials have set out on a campaign of destruction. Seizing people and leaving a trail of scorched earth.

    What rumors are real and which ones are just campfire stories....... New Hope settlers will soon find out when the changes of the outside world come knocking at their door.
