Darkfall; The first hour:
At first, there was only darkness, humanity lived in fear and no one knew if they would survive 'til the next day.
Many people died in this era of darkness.
Normally it would have been fine but the dead wouldn't stay dead for long.
They were getting resurrected by the darkness itself, afterwards they were only empty husks with no mind, no soul and no regard for casualties.
To stop the onslaught of "shells" like we call, them humanity bonded together and formed alliances.
A byproduct of those alliances is the frontier.
Unlike the frontier who fights for humanity i belong to a militia force of scavengers and mercenaries. We call ourselves the "Farlanders" and we fight only for our own profit.
At the very moment, the government is still not anywhere near of it's former state of power in the society and sometimes they even pay us in goods so we play law and order for them in their little "safe" territory or we scout the dark zones for 'em.
But even if the time of darkness has ended, the cause of it has never been found and there are still many shells around which are trying to overtake our outposts. I myself am one of the elite mercenarys of the Farlanders, my name is Jacob, Jacob Hawks and i will guide you through this story, well, i witnessed it myself so i should be suited for the job.
