This PBeM set in the dark future of 2500 AD. Civilization as we know it no longer exists. Over 400 years ago it was destroyed by nuclear war, famine, plagues, pollution and social decay. Bands of brigands &; outlaws terrorize the countryside, slave trade is prevalent in all forms and Clan Chieftans are the only protection for many. It is dark, it is bleak, it is cruel and it isn't for the faint of heart. The setting is on the Isle of Eire (Ireland). It has been 400 years since modern civilization of the 20th and 21st centuries collapsed due to war, famine, social decay and disease. The descendants of the survivors of the Great Collapse have reverted back to a way of life predating Christianity and the Roman Empire. There is NO TECH and there are NO FIREARMS of any kind. It is as if time itself has slipped backwards and the people of Eire have returned to a simpler lifestyle, using ancient mythos and legends to explain what happened 400 years ago. Christianity is dead in Ireland, the Tuatha De Dannen have been revived as the spiritual teachings. The Game Rules are a Homebrewed System! [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
