Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Zion National Park

"'[...] This is it. I can feel it. Safety. [...]' -- Journal"Zion Canyon, better known by its former name of Zion National Park, promises safety from the desolate, hostile wastes.

Background
Having been spared from the immense destruction and subsequent collapse of civilization the Great War brought upon the wastes, Zion Canyon remained an unspoiled wilderness.

A soldier named Randall Clark, after having to helplessly witness the death of his beloved ones in the nuclear fire, and feeling guilty about leaving them in the first place in favor of a survival experience in Zion National Park, returns to Zion Canyon, seeking shelter from the massive fallout following.

Mainly surviving on stocked provisions, Randall waits out for the radiation levels to decrease, and once leaving his shelter, observes groups of former Vault inhabitants, finally settling in on supporting some of them without revealing himself.

Randall, affectionately being named "The Father" by some of the former Vault inhabitants, dies a lone and remorseful, but natural death, shaping what later inhabitants will assume to be their origins.

Overview
While the Northern Passage tunnel is still open, entering Zion Canyon is not only hampered by resistance of current access tunnel residents, but also by the unconditional requirement of being in posession of the actual key for opening the gate into Zion, which is found in a grave to be opened using a shovel next to the Northern Passage.

Navigating the Canyon once entered is subject to increased attention, with Surviors being subject to hostilities initiated by abominations.
