The area known as the Commonwealth, once a vibrant metropolis and surrounding area, is now littered with the ruins of skyscrapers, abandoned houses and potholed roads. Nature, marked by radiation, manifests itself in twisted trees and rarefied vegetation, with sterile soils and contaminated rivers. Collapsing structures and debris are common, creating a scene of decay. The sky is often clouded with gray clouds, occasionally broken by violent storms that illuminate the desolate land with lightning. ### Natural Threats Survival is constantly challenged by various natural threats: - **Radiation**: Highly radioactive zones are common, ranging from slightly contaminated areas to true deadly pockets of radiation. Supplies of RadAway and Rad-X are essential for any survivor. - **Radial Storms**: These storms appear suddenly, charged with radiation and electricity. During a thunderstorm, the air crackles with energy, forcing anyone caught off guard to seek shelter or risk severe damage to their health. - **Irregular Terrain**: Widespread destruction has left the terrain full of dangers, such as landslides, unstable rubble and buildings ready to collapse. Navigating these areas requires constant attention and caution. - **Scarcity of Resources**: Drinking water is a rare luxury, and most available food and medicines are irradiated or contaminated. The search for safe resources is a constant and often dangerous struggle. ### Bestial Enemies The Commonwealth is inhabited by a number of mutated creatures, a direct result of radiation and uncontrolled scientific experiments: - **Deathclaws**: These imposing monstrosities, with their sharp claws and immense strength, are feared by all. Their thick skin and ability to move quickly make them formidable adversaries. - **Radscorpions**: Giant, aggressive and poisonous scorpions, which emerge from under the sand to ambush their prey. Its venom can quickly paralyze or kill. - **Mirelurks**: Mutated aquatic creatures with a hard shell, making them difficult to kill. They inhabit coastal areas and swamps, attacking anyone who comes near. - **Wild Ghouls**: Severely irradiated humans who have lost their sanity, transforming into violent and insane creatures. They hide in the shadows and attack in groups. - **Yao Guai**: Huge and ferocious mutant bears, patrolling forests and wild areas. Their strength and endurance are impressive, making them dangerous even to the best armed. ### Gangs and Factions Human survivors also pose a significant danger, organized into various gangs and factions: - **Raiders**: Bands of violent marauders who terrorize settlements and travelers, stealing supplies and causing destruction. They live in improvised fortifications and carry out brutal acts. - **Gunners**: Highly trained and well-armed mercenaries, who accept contracts to carry out attacks or defend territories. Their discipline and organization make them fearsome opponents. - **The Forged**: A fire-obsessed gang operating out of an abandoned foundry. They use incendiary weapons and perform rituals involving fire, believing in purification through flames. - **Children of Atom**: A religious cult that venerates radiation, seeing it as a divine blessing. They are fanatical and often hostile to anyone who does not share their beliefs. - **Synths**: Advanced Androids, some of which are in the service of a mysterious organization known as the Institute. While some Synths seek freedom and autonomy, others follow orders to infiltrate and control human society. ### Settlements and Survival Despite the adversities, small settlements of survivors persist. These settlements range from rudimentary villages to fortified communities, where inhabitants attempt to rebuild some semblance of civilization. Trading supplies, excavating ancient ruins, and subsistence farming are common, though dangerous, activities. Security is a constant concern, with barricades, traps, and patrols being employed to protect against creature and gang attacks. ### Conclusion The Commonwealth is a ruthless world where the fight for survival is constant. Between radiation, mutated creatures, and human factions, every day is a challenge and every decision could be the difference between life and death. In this devastated landscape, hope is a rare luxury, and only the strongest, cunning and determined can persevere.
