timeline

before the ebs2 begins, it's worth recounting the events and contexts leading up to it.

+

2006 - The Crossing (EBS1, The Confrontation)

This was the single most devastating event in recorded human history since the Flood of Biblical times. The dead were reanimated for still unknown reasons, destroying most of the human population and almost all technological and cultural remants of society. This was effectively the End of the World.

2009 - The Resettlement Era (a loss, Obsession)

While resourceful and militant societies managed to survive the Crossing, this marked the reemergence of a pseudo-civilian class, allowing for the reclamation of land and limited technology to begin the reconstruction of human society.

2014 - New Feudalism - (satellites, Wind to the West)

With the creation of stable city-states came the inevitable domination of the weaker by the stronger. The Roadhouse, while technically belonging to the Eastern Hub, a conglomeration of east-coast communities centered around post-Federal land in Virginia, has maintained much of its autonomy thanks to physical distance, a lack of particularly unique resources, and a small but effective guerilla army.

2025 - EBS2. The world ends again.
