The Last Days of Appalachia

After the fallout of October 23rd, 2077, the survivors of Appalachia began to form factions – which would struggle to rebuild, defend, or pillage – depending on their motivations.

The Enclave plotted to finish the war with China from its bunker below the Whitespring, while the Free-Staters looked forward to a future without Government interference.

The Responders banded together to help those in need and bring order from chaos and rebuild Appalachia.

David Thorpe and his Raiders became the scourge of the region, taking what they wanted from whomever they wanted, building a kingdom for themselves in the Savage Divide.

And Taggerdy’s Thunder became Appalachia’s Brotherhood of Steel, aiming to find and safeguard technology for the future.

But none of them were prepared for what came next.

What is Last Days?

The Last Days Of Appalachia is a look at the factions of pre-Reclamation Day Fallout 76 in their final moments. While we are able to piece together a general idea of events thanks to holotapes, notes, and terminal entries in the game, we are often left with gaping holes in the narrative that leave us yearning for more. What happened to this character? What was that final battle like? This mini-series hopes to answer those questions and fill in those holes left in the story.

Is this part of The Modus Files?

No; The Last Days Of Appalachia and The Modus Files are two separate stories, and one is not required in order to enjoy the other. TLDOA is a mini-series written by Lawrence McNamara, writer and producer of The Modus Files.
