The world we once knew is gone. It all happened so fast, we hardly knew what was happening. In the eve of the year 2011, mankind’s worst fears were realized, and spread across the United States of America, and across the world, causing the living to become rabid and turn on each other. By the time the media had fallen silent, rumours of two deadly strains of viruses infecting the living had become something out of a nightmare, the emergence of said strains causing a worldwide pandemic and the destabilization of civilization. While little was known about the viruses, they were easily identified by their telltale traits: the dead coming back to life, and the living being transformed into grotesque monsters due to a deadly fungus once thought to be exclusive to insects.



After the initial outbreak, the remnants of the military, known as FEDRA, created safe zones, in hopes of containing the infected to the outside world. As the situation worsened, going outside the quarantine zones was banned, and force was often used to keep people in line, and inside the walls. Those caught on the outside of the quarantine zones were often turned away or killed, in fear that letting someone in with a potential bite or infection would lead to another outbreak.



Shortly after the safe zones were quarantined, a revolutionary group was formed, calling themselves the Fireflies. Their singular goal was to eventually restore the United States government to its former glory, and stop the military oppression plaguing the major quarantine zones across the country. By 2025, they are currently losing the war against the FEDRA. Firefly operatives and associates are treated like terrorists, and often shot by firing squads. Along with their plans for rebuilding the government, the Fireflies are one of the few organized groups still searching for a vaccine for the cordyceps strain, while most have given up hope in finding a cure for the ‘walker virus’, as the undead plague had become commonly known as.

Outside of the quarantine zones, and away from the prying eyes of both the FEDRA and Fireflies, a third major faction has quickly come into power. Known for their acts of banditry and intimidation, the Saviors were formed under the leadership of a man named Negan. While their initial goal appeared to be restoring humanity, that dream has long since faded, and most who know of Negan and the Saviors live in fear of what they’re capable of. Rumours of small communities and quarantine zones being under the thumb of the Saviors have spread even to the major quarantine zones, leading to increased political attention from both FEDRA and the Fireflies in recent months. Beyond rumours and speculation, nothing concrete is known about the Saviors or the man that governs them.
