We don’t know if they came from across the sea, from the stars above, or through a mystic portal, but they appeared in number and darkened any resistance. They had flying and crawling war machines and guns large and small that could fire faster than any crossbow or catapult. Our knights, longbows, and even wizards buckled before their forces. They broke any hint of resistance. We suffered under their heel for twenty years. |
Then, they retreated south of here and built a wall behind them, a fence of dazzling green beams. The Kodan took most of their weapons and supplies, but left entire outposts, bases, and cities behind. Deserted. We don’t know why they left us alone, why they built their Frontier where they did. Did they find something they were looking for? Were they repelled by something they found? | Then, they retreated south of here and built a wall behind them, a fence of dazzling green beams.

The Kodan occupied for 20 years, so almost anything in the books up to TL8 can be found for a price. Gear will follow the After the End rule of x2 for each TL above 4. TL5 = x2 ; TL6 = x4; TL7 = x8; TL8 = x16. Ammunition is currency and is simplified like in After the End: calibers are small pistol ($2, .32 and below), large pistol ($5), small rifle ($5), large rifle ($10), shotgun($10) and HMG ($50, heavy machine gun/magnum rifle). $500 starting cash and can spend up to 7 points on Extra Cash for $250 per point. Signature Gear provides plot protection to a piece of equipment. | The Kodan occupied for 20 years, so almost anything in the books up to TL8 can be found for a price.

The PCs are residents the village of Pawtucket, in the Paw Creek area of McCleanburg County. The old-timers chuckle at stories of Countess McClean's petty tyrannies before the invasion. McCleanburg's western edge is the Catawba river, running north to south. Paw Creek is the area that extends west from Downtown to the river. A mile south of Pawtucket is 85, a major Kodan road which stretches to the west and northeast. Another mile south of 85 is The Airport, where great steel birds landed and took off with a massive building to organize departing and arriving passengers and cargo. Crossings over the Catawba include a Kodan bridge built for 85 and the Rozzelle's family ferry in the northwest. On the northern end of the county is Huntersville, a trading partner for meat. East of Huntersville, on the Catawba shore is the Mack, a power plant that is now a hive of mutants and radioactivity. | The PCs are residents the village of Pawtucket, in the Paw Creek area of McCleanburg County.
