Universe Z

Alternate Universe Z is the "zombie apocolypse world". Being an alternate universe, no events in it are a part of the main story.

Background
In the year 2010 a virus that reduced those infected to flesh-eating zombies. It happened so suddenly and spread so quickly there was no time to point fingers, or even to prepare. The Association of Heroes tried to fight back against the growing hordes of undead. It was a noble but futile effort against the global virus. Humanity has now been reduced to living in easily defended patches, living in the ruins of once great symbols of humanity. Many heroes perished but those who survived decided to become the guardians of these towns. Towns are relatively safe, but are subject to raids by both the living and undead. Many still have power and untilities, limited but still existant. They are usually closely guarded and not just anyone can enter, for no one knows what strangers could bring into these towns. Life outside of the towns is dangerous and hard. Many people live in groups and drift about looking for means of survival and picking off zombies. There are also bands of criminals who often raid the towns and kill or recruit these wanderers.

Cities
Ft. Adalwolf - Previously Magnus's private island with a small community, it is now a very secure fortress. Magnus has closed it to suspicious visitors, of which she is the judge of, and has been able to sustain utilities and a somewhat comfortable living situation. The people in the small town are mostly unconcerned and even a bit ignorant of zombie problem on the mainland. The islanders rarely deal with those on the mainland at this point in time, Magnus allowed their families to move in before she raised the steel walls.
