In a world reduced to ruins, the undead roam freely, and every shadow may hide mindless hunger or human treachery.

Book settings
  1. #1Porters

    Keys: Porter, Airporter

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Porter, Airporter: The first of the Important Importers, the Porters operate from abandoned airports, running flight crews for scavenging missions and temporary landings. Their mysterious home base remains unknown, but they are crucial for transporting high-value goods across the wasteland. Survivors rely on them for rare supplies—if they can afford the steep prices.

  2. #2Cities

    Keys: Great Ruins, Cities, Red Zones

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Cities, Great Ruins, Red Zones: America’s cities, once symbols of prosperity and progress, now stand as grim monuments to the collapse of civilization. Skyscrapers loom like skeletal remains, their shattered windows staring blankly over streets littered with rusted cars and bleached bones. Places like New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Chicago were hit hardest—dense populations turned them into slaughterhouses when the outbreak began. Now, they are labyrinths of death, where the echoes of the past mix with the moans of the undead. Yet, these ruins hold the richest caches of supplies: abandoned hospitals with dwindling medicine, military checkpoints with forgotten weapons, and grocery stores with canned goods just waiting to be claimed—if you’re willing to brave the horrors within.

  3. #3Urban Sprawl

    Keys: Yellow Zone, Urban, Outskirts

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Urban, Outskirts, Yellow Zone: The sprawling outskirts of cities—once a blend of suburban comfort and industrial utility—now teeter on the edge of chaos. Subdivisions, strip malls, and warehouses offer a tempting mix of potential resources, from canned goods in abandoned pantries to tools and fuel in neglected garages. Yet, this scattered landscape is a double-edged sword: the open spaces make movement easier, but the sheer sprawl also means you’re never far from a lurking threat. The undead here roam in unpredictable patterns, and the occasional human survivor you encounter could be either an ally or a deadly opportunist. Every quiet street is a potential ambush, every house a gamble—some might hold life-saving supplies, while others could trap you in a death sentence. In these liminal zones, survival demands vigilance, adaptability, and a healthy dose of paranoia.

  4. #4Suburban

    Keys: Green Zone, Suburban, Suburbia

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Suburban, Suburbia, Green Zone: The suburbs were once the first to fall—their quiet streets and open homes made them easy targets in the early days of the outbreak. Now, they stand picked clean, their houses ransacked and stripped of anything useful, leaving behind only empty cabinets and broken dreams. For survivors, they offer a deceptive sense of safety: the low zombie population and scattered buildings make it easier to avoid detection, but the lack of resources means you’ll never stay long. Small groups of survivors sometimes linger, either hiding in basements or patrolling their claimed territory, but the occasional wandering horde still drifts through, drawn by noise or movement. It’s a place for those who want to survive—but not for those who want to thrive.

  5. #5Lurker

    Keys: Lurker, Stalker, Lunger, The Strong

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Lurker, Stalker, Lunger, The Strong: A shambling, hunched figure that blends into crowds of the undead. Unlike others, it occasionally lunges forward with surprising speed to grab or bite its prey, often catching victims off guard. However, it quickly returns to its slow, lumbering state after the initial burst, making it a sporadic but dangerous threat.

  6. #6Reacher

    Keys: Hider, Reacher, The Stealthy, Grasper

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Reacher, Grasper, Hider, The Stealthy: A skeletal figure, barely more than skin and bone, the Reacher slinks between furniture and debris, its emaciated frame allowing it to vanish into the clutter of the fallen world. It moves with eerie silence, its long, spindly arms stretching out from behind cover—doorways, overturned cars, broken furniture—snatching at the unwary.

  7. #7Bloated One

    Keys: Bloated One, Exploder, The Disgusting, Gasbag

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Bloated One, Gasbag, Exploder, The Disgusting: A swollen, decayed figure that oozes a foul, viscous fluid. Its body is highly volatile, and when destroyed, it bursts, spreading its toxic sludge in a small radius. While slow and clumsy, its explosive nature makes it a hazard in close-quarters encounters.

  8. #8Brute

    Keys: Crusher, The Strong, Brute, Breaker

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Brute, Crusher, Breaker, The Strong: A larger, heavily built zombie that moves with slow but powerful strides. Its strength allows it to break through barriers or shove aside obstacles, making it harder to escape or fend off. Despite its size, it remains as slow and uncoordinated as the rest, relying on sheer force rather than speed.

  9. #9Creeper

    Keys: Wanderer, Drifter, Creeper, The Stealthy

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Creeper, Drifter, Wanderer, The Stealthy: A predator of the dark, drawn to sound and warmth like a moth to flame. It freezes when exposed to light, collapsing into a lifeless heap, but in the shadows, it moves with a slow, predatory grace—silent, patient, and inescapable. Its presence turns every unlit corner into a potential death trap.

  10. #10Leaker

    Keys: The Disgusting, Dripper, Oozer, Leaker

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Leaker, Dripper, Oozer, The Disgusting: A decomposing, sickly figure that leaves trails of foul-smelling fluid as it moves. The fluid can attract other zombies or create slippery, hazardous areas. Its slow, stumbling gait makes it easy to avoid, but its lingering effects can complicate survival.

  11. #11Survivors

    Keys: Humanity, Survivor

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Survivor, Humanity: In this broken world, survivors are a scattered, resourceful breed, hardened by loss and driven by the need to endure. They scavenge for scraps in the ruins of civilization, constantly on the move to evade both the undead and the living threats that now rule the wasteland. Trust is a rare commodity, and communities are small, often fortified in makeshift strongholds where they barricade themselves against the horrors outside.

  12. #12Rural

    Keys: Hinterlands, Rural, Frontier

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Rural, Frontier, Hinterlands: The countryside offers a deceptive calm, far removed from the chaotic hordes of the cities. Here, the undead are sparse, wandering aimlessly through fields and forests, but the isolation breeds complacency—survivors often let their guard down, only to fall victim to ambushes by both zombies hiding in the tall grass and desperate humans lurking in abandoned barns. Resources are scarce, the land having been stripped bare by early scavengers, yet the occasional untouched farmhouse or forgotten hunting lodge might yield rare finds like ammunition, seeds, or tools. The true bounty lies in nature itself: fresh water, wild game, and edible plants provide sustenance for those willing to forage and hunt. In the rural expanse, survival hinges on vigilance, patience, and the ability to turn nature’s gifts into a lifeline.

  13. #13Bartering

    Keys: Economy, Trade, Salvage, Bartering

    Always on · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Bartering, Economy, Trade, Salvage: In the post-collapse world, bartering has replaced traditional currency as the cornerstone of the economy, with goods and services traded directly based on their immediate value to survival. Essential items like food, water, and ammunition are the most sought-after commodities, often exchanged for labor, protection, or other scarce resources. Trust and reputation play a critical role, as deals are made on the spot, and the ability to negotiate or trade efficiently can mean the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

  14. #14Truckers

    Keys: Trucker, Trucka

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Trucker, Trucka: The second of the Important Importers, Truckers roam as nomadic clans in massive convoys, their allegiance varying by group—some trade fairly, while others are little better than raiders. Their knowledge of old highways and hidden routes makes them indispensable, but crossing the wrong clan can be deadly. Fuel and spare parts are their currency, and they protect both fiercely.

  15. #15Dockmen

    Keys: Dockman, Shipmen, Ship worker, Dockmen

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Dockmen, Dockman, Shipmen, Ship worker: The third of the Important Importers, the Dockmen control ruined harbors, sailing between devastated continents to trade what remains of the old world. They are the only ones maintaining international imports, though their ships sometimes vanish without a trace. Rumors say they’ve made contact with surviving governments overseas—but no one knows for sure.

  16. #16Rebels

    Keys: Raider, Marauder, Gang, Rebel

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Rebel, Raider, Marauder, Gang: A catch-all term for raiders, warlords, and ruthless gangs, Rebels prey on the weak, taking what they want by force. Some were once survivors who snapped, while others embraced brutality from the start. They form loose alliances but betray each other just as quickly, making them unpredictable and dangerous.

  17. #17Cannibals

    Keys: Cannibal, Man-eater, Freak

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Cannibals, Cannibal, Man-eaters, Man-eater, Freak, Freaks: Once ordinary people, Cannibals now see other survivors as nothing more than meat. Whether driven by starvation or madness, they hunt in the shadows, disguising themselves among refugees or setting up traps. Their presence is often betrayed by the smell of roasting flesh—and the absence of any animals nearby.

  18. #18Delta

    Keys: Delta Squad, Delta

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Delta, Delta Squad: A mysterious group of well-equipped survivors, Delta operatives appear in the most unlikely places, offering aid without explanation. Identified by their triangular badge, they vanish as quickly as they arrive, leaving behind supplies, weapons, or warnings. Some believe they’re remnants of a fallen government—others think they’re something far stranger.

  19. #19Important Importers

    Keys: Importer, Important Importer

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Important Importer, Importer: The Porters, Truckers, and Dockmen are collectively known as the Important Importers, the three factions keeping trade alive in the wasteland. Without them, settlements would starve, armies would run out of bullets, and knowledge of the outside world would fade. But their services come at a cost—and not everyone can pay.

  20. #20New Jamestown

    Keys: Jamestown, Rivertown, New Jamestown, J-Town

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    New Jamestown, Jamestown, J-Town, Rivertown: A survivor enclave built along the James River (Missouri River), stands as one of the last relatively safe havens in the wasteland. Its unique defense lies in its location—surrounded by water on three sides, it uses the river as a natural barrier against zombie hordes. The settlement has also constructed floating watchtowers and drawbridges to control access, making it nearly impossible for the undead to breach. Survivors here thrive by farming the fertile riverbanks, trading goods, and maintaining a tightly guarded perimeter, ensuring their continued safety in a world overrun.

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Midland, Midlandia, Midtown: A survivor enclave built around the remnants of Midland Airport in Texas, is one of the last bastions of safety in the wasteland. Its key defense is the vast, open tarmac and surrounding layers of fences, which provide clear sightlines for spotting and eliminating approaching hordes. The community has repurposed old aircraft hangars into fortified living quarters and uses planes for both scavenging missions and emergency evacuations. Midland’s residents maintain a strict curfew and patrol system, ensuring the skies and land remain secure from the relentless undead. Midland acts as the secretive home-base to the Porters.

    Rawlens Correctional Facility, Rawlensburg, Rawlens: A survivor enclave built around an abandoned Wyoming prison, is a fortress-like refuge in the wasteland. Its high walls, barbed wire, and reinforced cells make it nearly impenetrable to zombie hordes, offering a rare sense of security. The enclave’s residents have repurposed the prison’s infrastructure into a self-sustaining community, with greenhouses in the yard and workshops in the old workshops. Rawlens is also known for its strict, militarized discipline, ensuring order and survival in a world where chaos reigns. Rawlens is also used as a gathering spot for the various Trucker clans, who come together yearly to share stories, celebrate, and trade.

Mostly composed of Indigenous peoples from various reservations, they’ve revived ancestral knowledge to fortify the cliffside structures, using natural defenses to repel zombie hordes. The enclave’s elevated location, combined with intricate rope bridges and hidden entrances, makes it nearly inaccessible to the undead. Survivors here thrive by practicing sustainable farming, preserving their heritage, and maintaining a strong community bonded by tradition and survival.

  24. #24Port Arthur

    Keys: Porttown, Port Arthur, Arthuria

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Port Arthur, Arthuria, Porttown: A survivor enclave built on the remnants of a bustling shipping yard in Louisiana, is one of the few safe havens left in the wasteland. Its key defense lies in the massive, rusting shipping containers that have been repurposed into a fortified labyrinth, creating narrow, easily defensible choke points for zombies. The community also maintains control of the nearby waterways, using boats for quick escapes and to scout for threats. Known for its thriving trade and resourcefulness, Port Arthur's survivors have turned the once-industrial dock into a resilient, self-sustaining stronghold. Port Arthur is also a common spot for the Dockmen to conduct trade and refuel their ships.
