Before World War II could reach its conclusion, the world suffered what could only be defined as a cataclysm.

 

Legend has it that an experiment failed. Catastrophically so. And when it failed, the center of the United States, from the Sierra Nevada to the Mississippi river, became "The Waste", where everything changed.

 

In The Waste, every fantasy creature, fairytale demon, or mythological monster exists. From orcs, to neriads, ogres, trolls, wraiths, elves, harpies, and even beastmen. They all exist, and all despise humankind.

 

In the ruins of the west and east coasts, new governments have arisen. With new jobs.

 

Vince is a Ranger, a profession whose sole job duty is surviving in the waste, and taking missions from the Ranger Guild. Be it courier services, escorts, or simply exploring tombs and cities.

 

Taking up an escort mission, Vince encounters a situation that will shape his life forever onward.

 

As well as the lives of everyone in North America.

Before World War Two could reach its conclusion, the world suffered what could only be defined as a cataclysm.

​

Legend has it that an experiment failed. Catastrophically so. And when it failed, the center of the United States, from the Sierra Nevada to the Mississippi river, became "The Waste", where everything changed.

​

Except it didn't only happen in North America. In fact, it happened all around the world.

​

Few places were spared, though, only a handful experienced it as deeply as the United States did.

​

In the Wastes of the world, every fantasy creature, fairy tale demon, or mythological monster exists. From Orcs, to Neriads, Ogres, Trolls, Wraiths, Elves, Harpies, and even Beastmen. They all exist, and all despise humankind.

​

For North America, in the shattered bones of the country, the West and East Coasts, new governments have rose, then fell.

​

Vince has become the master of a major portion of the Wastes of North America. Responsible for everything and everyone inside his boundaries. There is little that doesn’t fall under his purview.

​

Now, he has to take up a courier mission of sorts.

​

Except he’s the item to be delivered.

​

Straight to the European continent. 

​

Where Vince plans on delivering a massive helping of Yosemite to the masses.

​

All while giving them a heavy taste of the Legion technology.

​

A job that’ll change the lives of everyone where he lands as well as where he came from.

Before World War II could reach its conclusion, the world suffered what could only be defined as a cataclysm.

​

Now, Yosemite City stands as the gateway between two worlds. The empire of humanity to the west, and the wild wastes to the east.

​

Standing at the helm for Yosemite is Vince, a ranger turned city-state ruler. Supporting him in his endeavors is his inner circle.

Vince has begun to maneuver through the intricacies of ruling. At the same time he must balance his expanding foundation and fend off external threats.

​

Thankfully, every single citizen of Yosemite is united to the cause. To make their home, permanent. To dig out their place in the world and make a stand.

​

Things are starting to spiral out of control. Almost as quickly as he can put it all back together something else falls apart.

​

And with Yosemite rapidly rising into prominence, Vince finds that it really means just putting a bull's-eye on your back.

Before World War II could reach its conclusion, the world suffered what could only be defined as a cataclysm. Now, Yosemite city stands as the gateway between two worlds and an equal power in the continent. Unfortunately, it’s surrounded on all sides by those who would love to see them fail: the empire in the west, a king to the east, and the tri-lliance of the wastes to the south.

​

Standing at the top of Yosemite is the warrior king Vince, a ranger turned city state ruler. Supporting him in his endeavors is his inner circle. With a firm grasp on Yosemite, Vince has solidified his borders. He’s gotten the army trained to an elite status. He’s given his people a peaceful lifestyle with an economy that grows year over year. Yosemite is well and truly prospering.

​

There is a delicate balance between nations in military and trade, however. One that is going to be upended with a skirmish in the lands of southern Yosemite.

​

The bullseye Vince had worked so hard to remove is back, and bigger than ever. All anyone can do now is prepare for the storm.
