Crater

Crater starts its history long before the catastrophe. At first it was just a stone quarry where people of the New World extracted natural resources, but in course of time they decided to set up a town there. Mighty surrounding rocks, underground springs and natural resources made it very popular with miners and… military men. These two groups concluded a tacit bargain: soldiers ensured security for the town and its inhabitants, whereas miners processed materials. Stones from the quarry were used to build high-proof walls to protect Crater. Nearby towns are interested in cooperation with Crater’s authorities, they offer proper resources in exchange for stones, weapons or well-trained soldiers. Such mutually beneficial relationships can be seen everywhere – from the northern regions to the surroundings of Colossus. However Crater is not just a small coin at the intersection of trade routes. Its inhabitants are used to facing death every day, no matter what shape it takes – a collapse of the mine, a mad monster or a greedy gang. Painstakingly, day by day Crater’s inhabitants fortify their fortress. They know exactly – no one will come to help. Their town is one of the extreme outposts of the mankind, only the starving Wasteland lies further and it is still trying to shake off these brazen two-legged creatures, digging into its flesh.
