The sunrise after

05/03/2026

the sun will rise again, October 2 - 4, 2026.

the Northern Freedom Army has determined that the contamination is spreading, which is bad for the Republic of Prince Edward County but ...

good for enterprising individuals who know what artifacts fetch on the black market.

rumours spread throughout the prison that prisoners who "volunteer" for some work for the warden never return - but some inside have gotten messages from a few volunteers from the outside. they are now free, and talk about returning to the Quarter.

the warden wants to talk with you privately when he returns next week - will you "volunteer" to do the work he proposes?

03/26/2026

The date is set - October 2-4, 2026.

The sun will rise again on the Restricted Quarter after a night spent in the cold. Bottle caps will be earned, artifacts will be recovered.

Will you survive a night in the contaminated zone?

This is the time to LARP like you are trapped in a dystopian horror. Elements of modern gear are acceptable and expected, but a full modern impression does not match the environment.

If you come in clothing that fits the setting, you may earn an extra bottlecap during your check in process.

artifacts
Each artifact will have a description on it, which tells the player the effect that is imparted on the player while the artifact is in their possession. These effects may be mild, or strong. The effects could be beneficial, or be an annoyance to the possessor. Each is valuable, and brings the finder more caps than any other item in the Quarter.

Strange stories swirled of discarded pieces of equipment, slag, molten pieces of metal strewn about within the Quarter. These objects imparted effects on those that possessed them. Wealthy buyers began to pay a premium to obtain these strange objects, artifacts from the past world, distorted by the Mishap.

Those who have rejoined the outside world say they are more easily found after the sun goes down, and before sunrise. Because of this, prospectors or those who are seeking the artifacts spend nights beyond the Boundary trying their luck and risking their lives.
Players who find artifacts can trade them for bottlecaps to buy necessities, such as food, ammunition, medical supplies. The Administrator will pay a higher price for artifacts once a player has bought their way out, but it may mean going without until then.

Friday, October 4, 2025 and living in Coville

The check in process will begin on Friday night evening. Players should come prepared to enter the Restricted Quarter for the check in period. They will enter the Border Zone, and will be permitted to establish their encampment in the Restricted Quarter on Friday.

Players are encouraged to establish a camp, or to take up residence in one of the buildings in Coville. The Post Office and the Lab are reserved and will not be available to players, but other buildings are open.

Some buildings may latch from the inside, and will have windows - this will permit players to lock themselves in, and they may choose to not wear eye protection while inside. Items that may be stolen (bottlecaps, artifacts, ammunition, objectives, batteries, and medical supplies) may not be kept inside the building latched from the inside.

The Bar and Restaurant will be open and you may purchase food and drinks with bottlecaps on Friday night. No shooting, offensive action or collecting in-game items is permitted until after the game brief on Saturday morning.
