On October 23, 2077, the world was plunged into nuclear war. But what if you expected the worst? And planned for it? In Appalachia, a group of doomsday preppers did exactly that. Organized as the Free States, they holed up in their bunkers. And survived. At least, for a while…
After the bombs dropped, these members of theFree Statesemerged to find The Mire of Appalachia rapidly evolving with new flora and dangerous fauna, and attempted to rebuild atHarpers Ferry,while being wary of any outside help.
To actually join The Free States you'll want to go Abbie's Bunker up in the far north-eastern corner of the map near The Mire region. All of this intertwines withThe Missing Linkquest, which will immediately lead to the first Free States quest,Early Warnings, upon its completion.
