Europe has suffered horribly through the asteroid bombardment. Huge fires and electrostatic discharges set the night afire, during the day smoke clouds, consisting of asteroid substance and whirled-up dirt, smother even the last sunbeam. The rain is sour, even toxic. The cities stink of death. But this was only the beginning. Along the Reaper’s Blow, a meandering line of craters that rips from what was once Northern Germany across the Alps and the Italian Boot to the north coast of Africa, the ground opens up. Earthquakes and heightened volcanic activity herald the next catastrophe. Extreme tectonic tensions make the earth quiver and tremble. Huge cracks open up in the ground, gigantic areas the size of whole cities are leveled, the sound of crushing stone filling the skies. Lava seas bubble in Northern and Middle Germany and turn the region in a gray field of slag. One town after another is reduced to rubble by the terrible forces of the tortured ground, seething lava runs through the streets, melts the cars, seals the cellars and bunkers. Toxic gases waft towards the east – and the dying continues. Europe is ripped apart by the Reaper’s Blow – any attempt to cross this extremely unstable zone is a risk not lightly taken.
