Set in an alternate timeline whereas the parasitic Rebarella virus infects a variety of creatures, including humans, and subsequently leads to the collapse of the United States Government. However, the states themselves retain their own leaderships and factions. These state powers vie for control over many things, mainly the control of their people and the resources inside their borders. One of these states, which was once Iowa, is now known as the Grasslands, the Hearth, or Lonely Road State. Currently, it's one of the only states not involved in a war between various states in the Midwest, and instead is in a spot of turmoil and strife as various factions, teams, leaderships, and covenants aim to take the spot as Iowa's official government. This story follows a variety of different characters, and through the narrative you will discover the culture of the Grasslands and it's inhabitants. I hope you enjoy.
