Fallout; The Empire Wastelands
The History of The Empire Wastelands
The Empire Wastelands is located in the runes of New York City and east of New Jersey. Before the bombs fell, NYC was a hub of technology, creativity and knowledge. Most destroyed after the bombs fell, but a lot has been recovered over time . When Endcliff was established, now one of the biggest settlements in The Empire Wastelands. a lot of the pre-war values was treasured, and soon it spread throw.
Pre-War New York City
New York City was one of the most popular cities in the United States. Over 8 million people lived in New York City by the year of 2077. Once the bombs fell, 73% of the population evaporated.
After The Bombs (0-50 years after)
During the first 50 years, due to New York being one of the first states being hit by the bombs, high radiation took over NYC, turning most of it’s population that survived the blast into ghouls and fearls. Barely no one settled there because of the risk of radiation that overtook every aspect of the city. Radiation will be the main concern for the people who live and settled in The Empire Wastelands
50-100 years after
The radiation started to slowly wear off, and soon the first dozen of settlers started to live there, however many wouldn’t survive much longer. Not only because of the rads, but because of the feral ghouls who would attack them. For those who stayed and survived these lands, they made home in run down builds, many finding scrap and tech from the pre war ear. Many found valuable items regarding tech, art, education ect. from the Great War.
100-150 years after
As population began to rise and more people felt safe to settle in the ruines of NYC, The Empire Wastelands became an interest to many. Rads started to go down making it more liveable and the feral ghouls that attacked would be manageable to many, making it a key thing everyone would have to deal with. Most of the fearls around this time would live in the main parts of the city because of the high radiation in had. Many settlers wouldn’t live in the main parts of the city for this reason, however it was a high interest for tech.
150-200 years after, Endclift was established
After more and more people came to The Empire Wastelands, many traveled into the city, as the rads started to drop. As they made it into pre-war New York City, they began to find anything and everything. Settlers would have small farms and settlements all around, and at this time a small settlement called Endcliff was formed. Just within a year, the settlement became one of the biggest settlements in The Empire Wastelands and within 9 years of being formed, grew to have over 75 residents who live there and dozens of people who come in the city. daily.
