What is Dystopia Rising?

Many years ago, the world fell. A fungal Infection swept across the nations of the Earth, and seeped into the water supply. When people died, they rose again. The zombie apocalypse had begun.

In an effort to halt the tide, various governments chose the nuclear option. Bombs fell, and radiation swept across the land.

Some people, though, survived. They became compatible with the Infection and mutated into the Lineages and Strains of humanity.

Hundreds of years have past since then. Now, they seek to eke out a living amidst the remains of the old. Computers and the digital era is a thing of the past. The new world thrives on sturdy materials as people rebuild a new sort of civilization with metal and rock and wood. Death is no longer the end as people come back time and time again with their own Infection, and some even use it and what is now known as the Mortis Amaranthine to create new monstrosities.

Welcome to the post-apocalypse.
