Chapter 1: Sparks of War
Kill Devil Hills, also known as the Heart, is the capital and most civilized area of the young Outer Bank Republic. The buildings around the city are clean with sharp paint recently applied and friendly people walk the streets without weapons as they have no fear of attacks inside their great city. The more you walk deeper into this paradise the more you find pristine Pre-war houses and artifact such as a Super-Duper Mart still used today as a market. Politicians roam the inner-city showing off expensive pre-war suits eating at the newest café the Wright Brothers that serves expensive Jagged-Tooth Shark Steak and Fresh Fruit from Bakers Island. The capital building finally as you reach the center of the city is a testament to the Republic a four-story brick building over looking the ocean with roman columns supporting it the utilizing took over 10 years to build and now is the crown jewel of the ORB with merchants from far-away lands amazed that it was built before the war. (The Banks are able to keep these buildings from being destroyed from hurricanes since the last one hasn't happened in 40 years only the elders knowing what they were like.) The Heart allows anyone to come into the city for free if they are disarmed and anyone can use the beautiful beaches as long as they pay the 20 caps to get in, even ghouls which other settlements aren't to fond of are allowed in. While the rich and happy enjoy there steaks and sunsets elsewhere the Republic is in dire situations.
Washington, a trading settlement far west has been under a siege for weeks now by the Covenant a cunning and ruthless raider group that has withstood ORB assaults for years has finally taken the offense. Attacking Washington a small settlement with 200 people and many traders from the west. They were able to hold off the first 5 attacks from the Covenant but now have finally been broken with a the whole town crawling with the raiders. Whats left of the townsfolk are stuck in the Police Station with around 10 ORB soldiers left helping them. The Republic is mounting a counterattack against the raiders and asks for assistance from anyone who is close.
Meanwhile up north near the Virginia border the Guardsmen have set up camp and are waiting for a moment to strike. The swamp however has pushed them back over the border and the Outer Republic is gathering troops around the swamp. An eerie calm is around as merchants from the capital wasteland still come through both territory's often selling items more expensive seeing the standoff. An extremely dangerous part of the Banks unless your a trusted trader both sides will shot you down.
Elsewhere the peaceful Chinese Remnants are fully opening their borders to anyone to come in or out. If anyone steps into their territory a cultural shock is assured as the old pre-war buildings have been painted with red stars and Chinese Flags hang from every balcony. Old Propaganda posters from China still hang all over the town covering the old American ones. This is a truly strange place in the Outer Banks and maybe even the entire Wasteland. There is still some who after all these years still don't trust them even the OBR has the trust issues and refuses to let anyone of these Remnants from setting up shop in the capital city.
In Swans Quarter where the Crimson Wings hail from a new discover was found some weeks ago, a Vault. The Vault named 33 was hidden inside a lake but since it has dried up its now a barren hole in the ground. A very eerie site as the door is rusted shut and the 33 barely visible. Some workers trying to get it open have claimed to hear screaming or scratching coming from inside and have refused to work. The Crimson Wings are now offering jobs to anyone willing to help open this mysterious Vault.
All around the Outer Banks Wasteland is things to do but awhile a dark cloud is combing over it waiting spark lighting on this peaceful environment.......
