Master Knight
A Post Apocalyptic Horror mod for warbands
Background story so far
The year is 2031 - 20 years after the Hit, the catastrophic asteroid impact that tore society apart and set in motion a chain of events that left cities in ruins and 95% of the world's population dead.
The survivors have banded together for mutual protection, resources are scarce and every other group is either a threat or an obstacle.
The Hit was an asteroid size of a mountain it struck Russia on the 18th of may 2011, vaporizing cities and leveling mountains totally destroying a area of 150 miles in seconds, the rest of the world was hit with tsunamis, earthquakes, lava flows and superstorms.
Billions died in the first few days and the death toll rose as the clouds of ash and debris are thrown up into the atmosphere blocking out the sun for 3 years, temperatures worldwide dropped about 40 degrees, most vegetation and animal life dies.
Days later after the hit odd things started happening all over the world, Thousands of survivors across the world were infected by a deadly virus caused by the dust from the asteroid.
This was a virus that infected not only the living, but also the recently deceased, When afflicting a live subject the virus seemed to take 24 hours to reach it's full potency, when this happens the subject will slowly lose their memory, acting only on pure instinct.
With recently dead subjects the virus is reported to take only 5 hours to overwhelm the body and reanimates the corpse, all try to flee from the infected due to their cannibalistic tendencies.
Slowly after 3 years of cold darkness and half light days our planet recovers the dust clouds disperse and the sun shines down on our shattered world.
People start to emerge from hiding to make best of whatever lives they can in the ruins of earth.
Human Society now centers around small family and tribal groups, usually numbering between
10 and 40 people. Some have settled down in small communities where they grow crops and raise animals under harsh conditions with the few species of plant and animal life which survived .
Others resort to raiding and looting for survival, taking whatever they want from weaker communities,
life is harsh with no law or order ,governments are gone as are any local authorities and armed forces.
It is the time of desperate survival, of waring gangs and tribes , raider and road warriors, of warlords and wardering heroes fighting for the leftovers of a time past with the ever threat of the living dead looking to make you their next meal.
For those who have never played or heard of my old post apocalyptic mod , wastelander it can be found here
