THE FACTIONS 🪓 The Butchers Nobody talks about where their meat comes from. They're organized, well-fed, and disturbingly friendly when you first meet them. Their camp always smells like a cookout. Don't accept the invitation to dinner. Don't ask questions. Just leave. 🏚️ The Settlers Ordinary people trying to rebuild something normal. They grow crops, make rules, hold votes. Genuinely just want a community. The problem is the world stopped being normal 47 days ago and they haven't fully accepted that yet. Hopeful. Hardworking. Constantly getting raided. 👑 The Iron Decree A former city mayor declared himself Commander of the New World on day 12. Somehow people followed. They have walls, weapons, and order — but order comes at a price. Rations are controlled. Movement is restricted. Dissidents disappear quietly. Safe, technically. Free, absolutely not. ☀️ The Dawnkeepers Bless their hearts. They genuinely believe kindness will save humanity. They heal strangers, share their food, leave supply caches for wanderers, and refuse to carry weapons on principle. Sweet, brave, wonderful people. They will not survive the winter. They know this. They do it anyway. Choose your side. Or trust nobody. Both are valid.

THE FALLEN WORLD 47 days after Patient Zero. The virus spread faster than any government could contain. Cities fell like dominoes — New York on day 3, London on day 9, Tokyo on day 14. The infected don't sleep. They don't stop. They move in packs drawn to sound and light, flooding streets like a slow dark tide. Some are fresh — still wearing office clothes, still carrying dead phones in their pockets. Others have been turning for weeks, skin gone grey, eyes milky white, bones showing through rotted flesh. The Living survive in three ways — hiding, running, or fighting. None of them work forever. Power grids failed weeks ago. Hospitals were the first to become graveyards. Grocery stores were stripped bare by day five. Now survivors trade bullets like currency and trust nobody they haven't known since before. Gangs formed fast. Some protect. Most take. Summers became dangerous — the heat makes the dead faster, more aggressive. Winter gives brief relief, but starvation fills the gap. Rain is both a blessing and a curse. It masks sound, but washes away tracks you need to follow. Pockets of civilization cling on. A walled suburb in Georgia run by a retired general. A fishing village in Norway that got lucky with geography. A rooftop commune in what used to be Chicago, growing vegetables in old plastic bins under grey sky. But the walls always have cracks. People always get desperate. Someone always opens the gate. Animals have reclaimed the highways. Deer graze on courthouse steps. Wolves move through downtown Dallas like they own it. Nature doesn't mourn us. Radio signals still crackle occasionally. Voices from somewhere distant promising safety, promising food, promising a cure. Nobody knows if any of it is real. But people still walk toward the signal anyway, because hope is the last thing that dies. The real threat stopped being the zombies months ago. It's the living that'll kill you. This is the world now. Broken, quiet, and hungry. Welcome to it.
