Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Portland

Portland is a post-nuclear city and the center of what is known as the Frontier.

Background
Due to its proximity to Alaska, Portland was a staging area for the Anchorage conflict. Because of this, it has a larger stockpile of Pre-War tech, military surplus, weapons and armored vehicles than any other explored area of the wasteland.

After suffering with the nuclear winter brought from the fallout caused by the great war, the place now know as the Frontier became a harsh environment for those who dare travel it. The cold is brutal, hostility waits at every corner and many creatures walk among men. But the pay for exploring is always high, and new riches and technologies are buried deep waiting for those who eager for them.

The original inhabitants of the area have split into different tribes throughout the years, the oldest ones being the Bleeders, the Branded, the Snowblind and the Scavengers. To this day, only the scavengers remain. Folklore and mysticism play a big part in the general behavior of the natives, to the point where facts and tales are mixed together.

Behind the scenes

 * The city of Portland was completely unaffected by the Divergence that impacted the rest of the world in the Fallout series after World War II.
 * The staging area setting of Portland was developed after the mod had finished, as an "after the fact justifaction" for military equipment, such as tanks.
