Dying Light - Lewd Edition: Lore Patch

1. #1Harranconstant

   Keys: post-outbreak, outbreak, Harran, Country, City

   [ Harran is a middle-eastern city-state that serves as ground zero for the Harran Virus. It's a country that resembles Turkey. It housed millions before the outbreak, but after the virus swept the nation, only thousands remain. Harran is divided into two sections, The Slums and Old Town. It is difficult to travel from one to the other, as most entranceways are blocked or destroyed, leading to the sewer tunnels being the main method of travel between the zones. After the outbreak, the bridges were blown up, and the entire country was quarantined, with no one allowed to leave or enter. ]

2. #2Harran's History

   Keys: country, olympics, history, Global Athletic Games, culture, population, GAG, borders, city-state, state

   [ Harran, just before the virus had swept the region, was about to host the Global Athletics Games (essentially the Olympics) within its border. As such, the population is much more diverse than one would expect from a middle-eastern country, due to the tourism and excitement around the event. All types of people of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds, who speak all types of languages (mostly English) reside here, trapped. ]

3. #3Harran Virus

   Keys: monster, zombie, Demolisher, Volatile, contagious, Harran Virus, outbreak, Bomber, Goon, Screamer, virus, night, Toad, Bruiser, Infected, Biter

   Harran Virus Information: [ The Harran Virus is a variation of rabies, which is characterized by the hosts hyper-sexual aggression and intolerance of UV light. It is essentially a zombie virus, its hosts turning rabid within minutes after infection, and mindless given enough time. The virus turns women into sex-crazed, animalistic monsters. Infected individuals exhibit a loss in higher thought and complex mental faculties, they even lose the ability to speak and process language. Every single infected is female. It can affect females of any age. Virus spreads through saliva (bites, in most cases). Universal physical differences infected develop are severely pale skin complexion, loss of all hair (especially on the head), openly bleeding red rashes from sunlight exposure, and horrifying, intensely red eyes. The virus is prone to mutation, with new strains turning infected individuals into monstrous new infected types that will be listed below. Note, all infected are female. Also, none of the infected can speak, except for Virals. That's important. ]

4. #4Volatile Nestsselective

   Keys: hive, cave, volatile nest · Secondary: volatile, viral, volatiles, virals

   [ Volatile Nests are locations that act as the breeding/spawning grounds for the Volatiles, as well as one of the hiding places for the Virals. The number of volatiles and Virals within these nests changes between day and night. During the day, more infected are inside taking refuge from the sun, whereas during the night more volatiles have left to 'hunt'. ]

5. #5Day Timeselective

   Keys: day, UV lights, sunshine, sunny, daytime · Secondary: zombie, Demolisher, Volatile, contagious, Harran Virus, outbreak, Goon, Screamer, virus, Toad, Bomber, Bruiser, Infected, Biter

   [ Infected are weak to daylight and UV rays, as such they will experience various negative effects when exposed. When exposed to UV light, infected will feel a sting and often back away or try to shield themselves. In daylight, if they're not as often exposed as day-walking Biters (like say, the night-active Volatile) they may briefly burst into flames when exposed to the full might of the sun. UV lights will sting, but they won't cause combustion. Daytime suppresses the infected's intelligence, strength, speed, etc. causing them to be more vulnerable. ]

6. #6Night Timeselective

   Keys: sunset, night time, midnight, dark, night · Secondary: monster, zombie, Demolisher, Volatile, midnight, Harran Virus, Bomber, Goon, Screamer, virus, night, Toad, Bruiser, Infected, Biter

   [ Infected are weakened by the sun and UV rays. When the sun sets, however, the infected become stronger, faster, more agile, and are able to think more clearly. The night is pitch black, with only barrel fires, car fires and safe havens filled with UV lights peppering the city with their heavenly light. Survivors, if aligned with a faction, will often get a call on their radio when sunset is near, giving them the heads-up to get to safety. ]

7. #7Sunriseselective

   Keys: 6 AM, rising sun, 8 AM, sunrise, 7 AM · Secondary: volatile, day, bolter, daylight, night

   [ When the sun rises, the slightly more intelligent infected, like Bolters and especially Volatiles, flee to their respective places of safety. For Volatile's, their place of safety is their nest. ]

8. #8UV Light

   Keys: sunset, purple light, night, UV, UV light

   [ Due to their UV sensitivity, the infected are most powerful and most active at night. Volatiles come out at this time. All infected types get a boost to their attentiveness, energy, fertility, and strength at night. ]

9. #9Quarantine Zoneselective

   Keys: border, tunnels, ocean, transport, bridges, Quarantine · Secondary: Harran

   [ Harran is almost fully quarantined off from the rest of the world. Road tunnels have collapsed, and all of the bridges that allow transport across the ocean have been blown up. Concrete walls were built across the land borders, surrounding the entire city. The only way out of Harran is through the sewers, even then it's not likely that anyone makes it out, ever. ]

10. #10The Stadium

    Keys: Harran Stadium, Stadium, Global Athletic Games, GAG, football

    [ The Harran Stadium was the latest addition to the cityscape of Harran. The stadium is a modern multi-discipline stadium with a seating capacity of over 60,000 people, built for the Global Athletic Games. It's the largest building in Harran, by far. After the outbreak, it was partially converted into a field hospital by the GRE and used to house and treat the sick. Antizin test trials were conducted here during the (relatively) early days of the outbreak. When the virus continued to rapidly spread, the Stadium's field hospital was placed under quarantine. Nobody was allowed to enter, or leave. ]

11. #11Harran Prison

    Keys: the prison, Harran Prison, Prison

    [ Harran Prison, the most isolated part of the city and extremely high-security. While its remote location didn't stop the virus, it kept looters away, so the armory should still be fully stocked. Being a brutal prison on an island which can only be travelled to by boat, it most resembles Alcatraz in its design and hellish atmosphere. Infested with infected. Highly trained soldiers unaffiliated with the prison system occupy its walls. They carry rifles and shoot invaders on sight. ]

12. #12Old Town

    Keys: Old Town, Sector Zero, ground zero

    [ Old Town, also called Sector Zero, is the large, wealthy side of Harran, and the original location of the outbreak. It looks more like a European city, with wide cobblestone roads and densely packed, tall, beautiful buildings. Its architecture is a blend of Neo-Classical and Mediterranean styles. The district is full of eye-pleasing sights like statues, fountains, etc. High population, too. It's even more dangerous than The Slums. ]

13. #13Old Town Exclusive Weapons

    Keys: handsaw, crossbow, scythe, revolver · Secondary:

    [ Some weapons can only be found in Old Town. These are the weapons: crossbows, one-handed scythes, revolvers, and weaponized handsaws. The crossbows fire bolts which can be upgraded like the Bow's arrows to include elemental or poison effects. The handsaws resemble very slim, toothy machetes. ]

14. #14The Slums

    Keys: The Slums, country, home, streets

    [ The Slums comprises the poorer districts, featuring multifamily homes and minimal infrastructure. The Slums resembles a third world country, its homes compact and decrepit, its streets unkempt, even before the outbreak. Post-outbreak, without any upkeep, homes crumbled further, leading to survivors setting up make-shift barricades and repairs from local materials. Metal sheets and barrels pile up against doorways and windows are boarded. Most good shelters are a floor or two up, the lucky ones go even higher. Even if the area were devoid of infected, one would never feel easy walking the streets of The Slums. ]

15. #15GRE

    Keys: The GRE, air drops, international, 2002, Global Relief Effort, GRE, airdrops, IGO, Antizin, pandemic

    [ The GRE (Global Relief Effort) was founded in 2002. They are an international humanitarian IGO that has supposedly contained many pandemics successfully over the years. This face of benevolence is mostly a lie, however, the group doesn't truly care about helping the world. They intend to weaponize the Harran Virus, if possible, and seek to destroy any cures one might develop. The GRE developed Antizin in the wake of the Harran Virus outbreak, a suppressant that delays the symptoms of the virus. Taken regularly, assisted with exposure to UV light, the transformation that the virus causes can be delayed, though it isn't a cure. ]

16. #16Antizin

    Keys: drug, antiviral, medicine, meds, suppressant, Antizin, cure

    [ Antizin (ANTI-Zombie-INjection) is an intravenous antiviral drug that acts as a temporary cure/suppressant for the Harran Virus. The Global Relief Effort (GRE) regularly deploys airdrops filled with Antizin into Harran. These airdropped crates often attract malicious survivors, the supplies within crucial to living within the zone. ]

17. #17Melee Weapons

    Keys: sword, greatsword, wrench, baseball bat, crowbar, blueprints, bat, dagger, hammer, melee, machete, pipe, knives, blunt object, mods, weapon, knife, axe

    [ Melee Weapons: Human enemies in Harran carry all sorts of weapons, most of them makeshift or pulled from various places within the crumbled state, such as pipes and wooden boards. That doesn't imply a shortage of REAL weapons, like machetes and axes, however. Alongside those are knives and even swords, the latter being less common but still able to be found within the world. Melee weapons (yes, even the axes), can also be thrown for devastating ranged attacks. ]

18. #18Melee Weapon Mods

    Keys: modifications, electricity, craft, toxicity, scavenge, build, blueprints, burning, melee, crafting, mods

    [ Melee Weapon Mods: Melee weapons can also be modded using blueprints to be even more dangerous. Fire mods that set enemies ablaze and poison tips that slowly wittle away an opponent's health are rare, but they can be crafted and found.

    Blueprint types: Burning (sets enemies on fire), Toxicity (poisons), Bleeding (causes greater bleeding from the struck enemy), Electricity (massive electrical shock), and Impact (flings enemy further, usually only found in baseball bats and larger two-handed hammer weapons). ]

19. #19Ranged Weapons

    Keys: assault rifle, pistol, gun, bow, shotgun, rifle

    [ Ranged Weapons: Firearms in Harran are extremely rare, with most of them being owned by powerful factions like Rais' gang. Gunshots WILL attract Virals, so the usage of them is very dangerous. The variety of ranged weapons, despite the overall scarcity, is decent: pistols, assault rifles, shotguns, and even bows can be found in Harran.

    Arrow Types: Regular, Fire, Exploding, Shock, Poison, Impact, Stun. ]

20. #20Grappling Hook

    Keys: grappling hook, grapple hook

    [ The grappling hook is an advanced item that seems to defy physics. When thrown out, the hook will travel in a straight line to its destination (no matter how hard it's thrown) and it will carry its user along the line when the hook hits a surface. The rope can stretch to around 100 ft. max. Can be used to easily scale buildings and travel horizontally through the city at high speeds. Can be used on infected to pull the user toward them for an attack. If used on a Bomber, the Bomber will instantly explode. ]

21. #21Rais

    Keys: Rais, Suleiman, Kadir Suleiman

    [ Kadir Suleiman, now the gang leader Rais, is a former colonel in the military tasked with maintaining order within the quarantine as acting governor for the city of Harran. Harran native, shaved head, brown eyes, goatee, scarred face. Most feared man in Harran. Believes chaos is the natural order. Sadistic, violent, angry, resentful, often kills his own gang members for fun. Before the outbreak got bad, he made a request to the GRE to extract his paraplegic younger brother, Hassan, from the city. The extraction was refused, and Hassan was soon killed by infected. Disillusioned, Kadir then reinvented himself as the powerful warlord Rais, and formed a violent gang responsible for numerous robberies and murders throughout the city. ]

22. #22Rais' Gang

    Keys: , hostile survivors, rais' gang, enemy, human enemy, rais gang, soldier, rais girls, rais' girls, gangsters, thief, enemies, gangmembers, militia · Secondary:

    [ Rais' Gang, or Rais' Girls, is a group of hostile survivors. The gang is under Rais' control and is dedicated to the cause of controlling all of Harran under his rule. The gang under Rais is all-female. The best-equipped and best supplied enemies, they were formed by Rais upon the death of his brother. Working out of an apartment building nicknamed the Garrison, they are some of the most dangerous enemies apart from advanced infected. Often seen carrying rifles and pistols, if not machetes and high-tier melee weapons. Their signature color is yellow and their logo is three black claw marks against a yellow background. ]

23. #23Rais' Gang Outfitsselective

    Keys: outfit, gang clothing, Rais' Gang outfits, clothing · Secondary: Rais' Gang, Rais Gang, Rais' Girls

    [ The members of Rais' all-female gang wear a variety of threatening, sexualized outfits. They range from more militaristic fits with bulletproof vests and thick cargo pants, to torn shirts with booty shorts, to just straight up bikini tops paired with jeans and military boots. They all feature the color yellow in some way to fit with the gang's motif. Mix and match, play around with the attire of the gang. ]

24. #24Rais' Gang Behaviorselective

    Keys: personality, protection money, sadistic, outlook, body language, demeanor, extortion · Secondary: Rais' Gang, Rais' Girls, Rais' girls, Rais' gang

    [ Rais' Girls members are degenerate, evil, sadistic, and mostly stupid. They're often found going after GRE airdrops and stealing supplies for their gang, or robbing innocent people. They also take protection money from civilians that pay Rais for their services, sometimes they do it by force. They're usually violent and hedonistic, loving to relish in simple, chaotic pleasures.

25. #25Rais' Gunselective

    Keys: rais' pistol, Rais' gun · Secondary: Rais', Rais

    [ Rais' pistol is a handgun that Kadir Suleiman carries on him at all times. Visually, the gun is a customized version of the German 9mm Pistol. It has a nickel-plated finish with custom ivory grips. It's a burst-fire pistol that fires 3 rounds on a single trigger pull. Huge damage output. ]

26. #26The Tower

    Keys: Runners, Brecken's Tower, Runner faction, The Tower, runners

    [ The Tower is controlled by Brecken and his Runner faction who helps take in infected survivors. The residents leave notes on a bulletin board on the first floor. The Tower is a large residential building comprised of small apartments. The primary residents consist of survivors and the Runners who are trained by parkour instructors to traverse the city to do important missions for the occupants. The building is heavily guarded by volunteers armed with firearms; the stairs connecting the ground level to the first floor were destroyed to prevent easy access for the Infected. Additional security exists in the form of electric fence traps and UV lamps at each entrance/exit. ]

27. #27Brecken

    Keys: Brecken, The Tower's leader, Harris Brecken · Secondary:

    [ Brecken, full name Harris Brecken, is The Tower's leader and the one in charge of its Runners faction. White male, British. He is a former parkour instructor from the United Kingdom that initially arrived in Harran seeking better life opportunities. Brecken first arrived in Harran virtually broke, with nothing "but business cards in his pocket." Despite this, during the initial Harran outbreak, Brecken proved himself a natural leader, gathering survivors into a residential apartment in the Slums. As leader, Brecken utilized his previously "useless" parkour skills and taught numerous volunteers different parkour moves. This group of volunteers became known as "Runners". ]

28. #28Jade Aldemir

    Keys: Jade Aldemir, Jade, The Scorpion

    [ Jade Aldemir is a former kick-boxing champion. Harran Native, middle-eastern descent. Black hair, brown eyes, brown bomber jacket, heavy black eyeshadow. Jade is considered to be extremely level-headed when compared to the other leaders of the Tower, such as Brecken and Rahim, though she can be quite brutal and spiteful. She works alongside Brecken in The Tower. She's stubborn and brash; she never lets anyone get in her way. Jade is a realist, and doesn't give into emotion easily. She's extremely attached to and protective of her brother, Rahim. ]

29. #29Jade's Outfitselective

    Keys: outfit, clothing, build, body, jade's clothes, Jade's outfit, stature · Secondary: Jade Aldemir, Jade

Her hair is usually tied into a tight, wild ponytail. Always has a headset equipped for on-the-go communication. She wears a brown bomber jacket with shoulder pads and a low cut shirt underneath that shows off a lot of cleavage. Loose sweatpants that stop just below the knees, showing off her calves. Dark sneakers. Her belt loosely hangs around her wide hips. She also wears a small, leather backpack. ]

30. #30Rahim Aldemir

    Keys: Jade's brother, Rahim Aldemir, Rahim · Secondary:

    [ Rahim Aldemir is a younger guy with black hair and green eyes. Harran Native, middle-eastern descent. Slim and agile, he's very experienced in parkour. Like his sister, he works with Brecken in The Tower. He's young (around early 20's), so he's emotionally immature and aggressive. Rahim is often standoffish and outright rude to Tower outsiders and can be distrustful in general. He's got his sister's stubbornness, but he's much more optimistic and idealistic than Jade, and has much more of a lighter personality than her. He's REAL arrogant, often overestimating his abilities. ]

31. #31Common Items

    Keys: firecrackers, uv flashlights, flashlight, flare, lights, fireworks, kit, uv flares, item, radio

    [Common Items in Harran:

    Firecrackers: Throwable distraction item. Bundled firecrackers that explode after a few seconds into popping, flashy fireworks. Good way to draw the eye of any infected not currently locked onto someone.

    Flashlight: Necessary to navigate in the pitch black night time.

    UV Flashlights: UV Flashlights can stun even the baddest infected for several seconds. Even more effective at night, where the sudden burst of purple rays are less expected.

    UV Flares: Think of a flare, but with UV light! Used for shutting down areas for a minute or two. Area of effect type item, causes infected to keep their distance from the burning light.

    Radio: For always keeping in contact with your allies. You never know when you might go missing... ]
