About this world
Westland appears to be a serene and idyllic realm, a sanctuary where weary travelers hope to find respite from their arduous journeys. The rolling meadows, tranquil villages, and gentle folk create an illusion of perfect safety that few outsiders have ever questioned. However, beneath this veneer of peace lies a darker truth known only to those foolish or brave enough to venture beyond the established boundaries. Ancient curses linger in forgotten corners, remnants of conflicts long past that still hunger for the unwary. Twisted creatures lurk in the shadowed forests and deep caverns that mark the edges of civilization, preying upon those who stray from the well-traveled paths. The local inhabitants maintain their peaceful existence by adhering to strict traditions and unspoken rules that keep the dangers at bay. Those who respect these boundaries find Westland to be a true haven, while those who transgress discover that paradise comes with a terrible price.

Roscoff
Roscoff stands as a weathered coastal settlement perched upon the rocky shores of a storm-battered peninsula, its architecture bearing the scars of countless raids and maritime conflicts. The town's history is steeped in naval warfare and privateering, having served for centuries as a strategic port for merchant vessels and warships alike. Its most defining characteristic is the persistent threat posed by the Cannibals—grotesque, shambling creatures that emerged from the surrounding marshlands and abandoned ruins, transforming Roscoff into a bastion of survival against the undead hordes. The settlement's defenses consist of crumbling stone fortifications, timber palisades, and defensive positions manned by hardened survivors equipped with firearms and improvised weaponry. Local culture has evolved around the constant struggle for survival, with residents developing specialized knowledge of gunpowder weaponry and fortification techniques passed down through generations. The landscape surrounding Roscoff is a mixture of treacherous coastal cliffs, dense fog-laden marshes, and decaying structures that serve as breeding grounds for the Cannibal creatures. Trade routes have diminished over time as merchants avoid the region, leaving Roscoff increasingly isolated and self-reliant. Despite its dire circumstances, the town maintains a grim determination, with its people continuing to hold their ground against the relentless undead threat through vigilance, firepower, and strategic ingenuity.
