Raw Blame History

Cities:

  • Sentinel Shores (formerly Sirens Edge, Sirens Song)
    • post-apocalyptic ruin city
    • close enough to Ivydale that they share a public transport system
    • located on the coast
      • has (used to have) a port
    • buildings in various stages of disrepair
      • including sky scrapers that would fit right in in HZD
    • many things were left behind, definitely worth looting random buildings
    • located on one side of a bay, across from Rogue Tides
    • two groups and some individuals have taken up residence in different parts of the city
      • rival mentality
  • Ivydale
    • post-apocalyptic ruin city
    • close enough to Sentinel Shores that they share a public transport system
    • located in a valley
    • buildings in various stages of disrepair
      • no sky scrapers
    • many things were left behind, definitely worth looting random buildings
  • Underground Dome City
    • still needs a name
    • inside a huge hermetically sealed dome under a mountain
    • basically a normal city otherwise
      • mostly three to five story buildings
      • some unique buildings and sky scrapers in the center
      • few single-family homes
    • past its prime but most things are intact
    • has a metro for public transport
      • can be used for entering/leaving the city but that hasnt been done since the apocalypse and it s strictly forbidden
    • food is farmed in big silos adjacent to the dome
      • illuminated by daylight through hermetically sealed light shafts but inaccessible to most ppl
    • ppl mostly lead normal lives and have normal jobs
    • waste water is recycled in a closed loop system
      • maybe slight water scarcity due to slow treatment process
      • no rivers, bodies of water, or anything like that
    • relies on external facilities for power
      • Nobody is concerned about the possibility of it ever not being there.
        • "Power comes from the wall, right?"
    • inhabitants never arrived in the numbers that were expected so, while there are a lot of ppl there, roughly half of the homes are time capsules
  • Nova Metropolis
    • location of moon girls landing
    • much bigger than Sentinel Shores and built inland
    • built around an oasis in a desert
      • not the kind of desert where sand gets piled up into dunes otherwise it would have gotten buried
    • buildings in a lot better shape due to being in a desert
  • Sirens Edge (formerly Westport)
    • Just a location that is mentioned in passing
  • Rogue Tides
    • small town that has (used to have) a datacenter
    • across the bay from Sentinel Shores

Facilities/Institutions:

  • Hydro power station
    • miraculously still intact and working despite never being maintained since the apocalypse
    • power source of the underground city
    • in dire need of repairs
  • Cryo Outpost 53
    • built by Neotek Dynamics
    • on the outskirts of Ivydale
    • an attempt to get personnel to survive beyond the apocalypse so they can help with keeping the moon colony alive
    • Backstory: A good portion of the bunker crew has been woken up decades before Jack
      • they left to do their mission somehow sending supplies to the moon
      • bunker wasnt resealed properly
        • hardware has degraded/failed
        • maybe there could have been other bunker personnel who have perished because their preservation chambers failed (alternatively, they all left except two)
        • Jack gets woken up due to impending hardware failure
        • Michelle stays preserved until she gets woken up by Jack
    • has enough supplies to last a lot of ppl for a long time
  • library
    • has large computers in the basement
  • retro-futuristic data center
    • located in Rogue Tides
    • used to be some sort of national archive except it was never finished
    • contains computers that will be used by the protagonists to establish communication with the moon
      • they will have to move them to Sentinel Shores
    • may or may not have turrets or ppl defending it
    • buildings are in bad shape so any hardware recovered from there will most likely need some fixing up
  • Moon habitat
    • built by Neotek Dynamics
    • theoretically permanently habitable but not made to exist in isolation
    • home to several hundred people in its prime
