That was how the long, messy and protracted end of civilization came to be. The great cities and governments of old were consumed by the atomic inferno that they created and sought to use to benefit themselves. Yet, for many, it was not the end. Near the twilight of the 21st century, underground shelters of steel and rock known as Vaults were built in a last ditch effort to avoid armageddon. Those fortunate enough to gain residency survived unscathed. When the doors opened, they spread out across the ashes of the new world to repopulate, reestablish and rebuild. History would repeat itself again as new societies and tribes retracing the footsteps of their legacies competed and waged war with one another in this blasted hellscape. As a century passed and the West burgeoned with the flames of civilization, the East remained eerily quiet. Around campfires, traders and vagrants from the east speak of an emerald land at the end of the mighty Mississippi, down by the mire of the Bayou Marsh. They called it the Crescent. The monarchial Orleans Empire rules over the French Quarter and its 10 districts, determined to bring prosperity with an iron fist. However, the Empire faces threat from instability and dissidents. The Neo-Confederates seek to restore the slave trade to its former glory whilst the Liberte movement aims to restore the principles of democracy and justice in a merciless wasteland. Deep in the Bayou, where shadows creep and crawl, the Masquerade, an order of witch doctors and shamans, plays and pulls strings to expand their ever increasing web of influence. Meanwhile, preying on the chaos, the Many Rivers Protecterate institutes a vision of anarchy amongst its many disorganized members who traverse the Gulf and the wider Carribean in search of reward. You are a passenger of the Colorado Vagabond, a merchant ferry that is just finishing its maiden voyage. You came to the Crescent in search of a better future, yet, what happens next is not what you entirely expected…...[/center] [hr]
