Tifnator

The Hole That Ended the World

There lies the pain of our existance. The terrible crater that twists the mind of those who dare wander too close.

Tifnator is a massive crater that was created upon a giant meteor's impact with the world. While its crash into the surface and the shockwave that followed wrought upon a force more destructive than the world had ever seen before, the true lasting legacy of the meteor would be felt around a year later. As people moved back to habit the wastes that the explosion had made, strange things began to happen to those who walked too close to the crater itself. Over time they had lost their minds and transformed into twitching monsters that swarmed the other nearby settlements. The end of the world had begun.

Cause of the End

The impact caused by the meteorite was seen as an apocalyptic event by those who survived the shockwave. Whole cities were flattened, countries fell, and hundreds of thousands had perished. When the survivors started moving back into the ruined lands, they thought that things were looking up, but unbeknownst to them, they were about to discover a more significant threat than they could have imagined.

Strange things started to occur when settlers moved back into the ravaged wastes surrounding Tifnator. Many of them, especially those closest to the crater, began seeing people where there were none. Whispers clouded their minds, slowly driving them insane.
Over the course of a week or two, the attempt to resettle lands had ended. The people there transformed into horrific monsters who would go on to swarm the nearby cities out of the craters sphere of influence.

Nilder saw a twitcher the other day. I think they might be getting close. We should pack our things and move out at the crack of dawn before a whole swarm of the bastards gets us first.
