Plague / Epidemic
The Fall of Humanity marks a cataclysmic shift in the course of history, a period that reshaped the world in ways both terrifying and monumental. It began with the sudden Seattle Outbreak, where a mysterious virus rapidly spread, turning its victims into violent, mindless mutants. The dense urban environment exacerbated the contagion’s reach, collapsing healthcare systems and triggering widespread panic and violence. As cities fell, governments struggled to contain the virus, and social order disintegrated. The infection spread beyond Seattle, ravaging other major cities and even crossing borders, plunging nations into chaos. In the wake of this devastation, survivors formed isolated communities, and the old world fragmented into rival factions. The collapse of agriculture and industry led to severe resource shortages, forcing people to adapt in brutal ways. Over time, however, humanity began to rebuild. New societies emerged, driven by necessity and resilience, as people rediscovered old technologies and created new systems of governance. Despite the scars of the past, the spirit of cultural rebirth began to flourish, as the survivors worked toward creating a new world, defined by hope and the lessons learned from The Fall.
