Geography

The Bunker

When the Raiders first started taking control of the nearby villages, they had the Settlers build them a fortress, from where they could easily control the villages. This fortress became known as the Bunker. From here the Raiders send out patrols to the villages every day, where they check if all settlers are still where they are supposed to be and collect any goods they find in the villages. In case settlers are missing, they first search for them near the villages and if they can't find them there they go back to the Bunker and send other Raiders to find them. Both the patrols and search missions use horses to get around. It takes them about half an hour to reach the farthest village, the Northern Village. There are about 60 Raiders living in the Bunker, about half of which regularly visit the villages.

The Northern Village

The Northern Village is the village furthest from the Bunker, and the smallest one with only 6 Settlers living in it. Their main way of surviving is fishing in the lake next to the village, but the Settlers had to start farming grapes, when the Raiders weren't satisfied with how much fish they produced.

The Southern Village

The southern Village is bigger than the Northern one, but not as big as the Eastern Village with 14 Settlers living there. The people from the southern Village specialize in farming grain and domesticated animals.

The Eastern Village

This is the biggest of the three villages with a population of 23 Settlers. These settlers also fish in the lake, but they also produce a lot of fruit and some grain.

The Execution Site

This is the place the Raiders bring Settlers and captured Nomads to execute them. They also bring other Settlers to watch the execution, and keep them afraid. Most of the time they just bring the Settlers from the sentenced village, but in specia cases, especially if they catch a Nomad, they bring all Settlers to watch it. The types of execution that take place are hangings, beheadings and, in extreme cases, even burnings.

The Junk Yard

The Junk Yard is the place the Raiders bring all their broken technology and the things they can't use, for example because they don't have gas or electricity. There are rumors of a Nomad group, that come here and take things they deem useful and repair them.

The Warehouse

Here the Raiders keep all the things they own, but don't need for now. This includes food supplies, additional artifacts from the past and anything they find in the villages they don't want them to keep, but can't use for now. There are always between 5 and 10 Raiders at the Warehouse watching it, so nothing gets stolen, but the Settlers also have stories about Nomads that break into the Warehouse under the noses of the Raiders, although that is unlikely to happen. but the Settlers also have stories about Nomads that break into the Warehouse under the noses of the Raiders, although that is unlikely to happen.

The Forest

The most dangerous place in the near vincinity is the Forest. From year 0 on wild animals returned to the forest and plants grew wild, making it a dangerous death trap. Sometimes Settlers try to escape through it, but it is unlikely any of them survived. The few that returned from the forest immediately returned to their village and turned themselves over to the Raiders, barely still alive.
