North America: 2064 A.D.
The year was 2014 when a war broke out, a war so dreadful only a few would live to tell about it. The war, World War III, was nothing more than nuclear strike after nuclear strike. WWIII started in the middle-east, companies and countries fighting politically over the rights to the oil chains. The war started small, soon Russia and the USA got involved, each picking opposite sides. Soon, every country in the world pushed their way into the war. This war began to grow in mass and weaponry very fast. No one knew who dropped the first bomb, but soon every country was hit with nuclear bombs, from which countries launched them, no one would ever know. It happened so fast, barely anyone was able to make it to shelters.
The people who made it to these shelters felt the tremors of the bombs dropping. After the Nukes dropped, the EMP from the blasts changed something in the atmosphere. Not only did it shut down electricity, it shut down plants, emergency generators, and even vehicles. The EMP caused meltdowns of all the nuclear power plants in the world, causing massive explosions and radiation on an unprecedented level. Due to these power plants and the radiation, many more people died from radiation poisoning.
However, what happened next was much worse, an incident that caused even more of the survivors to fall. This radiation leaked into the ground, into the waters, causing something to stir. No one knows how it happened, but it would appear that this radiation caused some form of muscle regeneration. The muscles being regenerated weren’t human’s though. They were Dinosaurs.
Before anyone could react or spread the word, dinosaurs spilled out of the ground like a plague, destroying what was left of museums and rising out of the oceans. Most people simply couldn’t react to this new reality and fell easy prey to these creatures. However, there were groups of people who managed to remain calm in this time of need and set up some form of shelter. These shelters were often times set up in cities, where people relied on canned goods and bottled water to survive. Others preferred to live out in the forests, valleys and mountains. They chose to live amongst the dinosaurs, domesticating certain species for farm work and even transportation.
Another problem that people who had survived the war had come to realize was that, the atmosphere and elements had changed. Gasoline no longer ignited as fast as it should and more important that gasoline, gunpowder was more of a slow burning fuse. Gunpowder was no longer strong or fast enough to ignite and explode with a force strong enough to shoot a gun. This meant that gun’s and artillery were useless. Many of the “City-Dwellers” chose to take these scrap guns and metal from the vehicles and made weapons and armor, modeling after medieval times. The “Outsiders”, lived more of a nomadic style, trying never to stay in one place too long, for fear of predators tracking them home. Therefore, they were lightly armed and armored, relying more on speed than power.
A few members of one of the Nomadic people, in the small clan of Guroak, decided to make their way out into the world. To discover a means to re-establish a form of communication with whatever civilizations were out there in the world. What they didn’t know, was that these civilizations were very limited. Only a few remained, and virtually no communication. Therefore, once they left the home town, not only would they have to find their way back home, but, they grew up in the Guroak. A clan of harsh men and harsh women, growing into age, fighting predators off and living off the land. They knew their landscape, the local creatures, and yet they knew nothing of the rest of the world.
So, the story begins with a group of people, a young group, in the middle of their campgrounds in Guroak in a search of other civilizations. This young group, 50 years after the Great War, WWIII, they will set out, unknowingly of the real world, in a quest that would most likely get them all killed. Here is their story, the young men and women who had the huevos to journey fourth and create something they only heard stories of. A real, protected, civilization.
