The 19th century was a time of peace and prosperity, the dawn of a new generation brought forth many great minds, these minds thought of great ideas- but many of these ideas clashed, and thus; Humanity's most destructive invention was born.

Modern Warfare.

The Downfall:

War was declared upon Russia by Germany, and both governments raced to answer one question; what's the most effective way to kill a human? Germany found the answer first with the science available in the year 1945, a new kind of weapon had been created. Quieter than a bullet but far more volatile- Chemical Warfare would be first introduced in the Battle of Kovat, an urban Russian settlement.

Russia invented a deadly weapon of its own in the same year, Biological Warfare, and when history called in the Battle of Kovat- with this weapon they answered.

Timestamp: October 21st, 11:14 AM- the Chemical Agent was Deployed via mortar shells, the Bio weapon was deployed via aircraft, German soldiers aimed at Russian Aircraft and the greatest plague that ever befallen humanity was made

October 21st, 12:51 AM. The entire population of Kovat was under siege by the unseen- the Chemical Agent mixed with the rapidly evolving Bio Weapon and created a Walking Plague- where the Dead would march on the Living.

The Afflicted were nicknamed "The Spoiled" due to the discovery of a military issued canteen with the words "The only spoils of war are the ones in the trenches." etched in German.

The Spoiled displayed extreme aggression toward any and all life and a devastating loss of individuality, and the Battle of Kovat was lost, soldiers fled from The Spoiled, who kept infecting more and more- The Living became known as The Surviving, and the few survivors in the world knew nothing but The Great Silence afterward.

Creator notes;

I wanted to make a post apocalyptic dystopian world so here it is, I'm probably going to update it if this ends up doing well, I already intend to make different starting messages for each of the different factions- that is if you give a shit about them, it may feel tacky, that's because I made this at 2 in the morning and I didnt really care of know what the I was doing ☠️

Anyways, go crazy Ladies and Gents.
