From the beginning, the future of Appalachia has rested on the actions of multiple, competing factions. The New Enclave, the 76’ers, Foundation, Crater, the New Responders, the Blood Eagles, and the Cultists have all pursued their own goals and their own vision. Much as the conflict between the original survivors doomed them all when the Scorched rose from the Cranberry Bog, a vast new threat descends upon a region divided.  However, the hordes of Super Mutants are merely a tool of a larger conspiracy, one which has been growing beneath our very feet, with plans that extend far beyond the borders of Appalachia and threaten to forever alter the course of humanity itself. Deep within the Whitespring Bunker, MODUS has his own designs on the future, relying on technology of the past to ensure that his survival will never be compromised by mere human failings. As the events overtaking Appalachia burst into the open, our characters find themselves at a crossroads. Live or die, the future will be forever altered.
