The Year is 1970.
Twenty years ago, the German Eagle soared over the Urals.
Western Russia, and the rest of Europe, languish beneath the Reich's Jackboot.
The Occupation zone of West Russia, Reichskommissariat Moskowien,
has become the Reich's playground.
Moscow has been destroyed, and rebuilt into history's largest labor camp.
Colossal steel hulks - leftovers from aberrant scientific ventures - liter the wastes.
Dark clouds gather over northern Moskowien.
Plague, unlike anything anyone has ever seen,
grips the ancient towns around Lake Ilmen.
The superstitious call it a curse; some say its another experiment.
The Germans have fled the area, leaving it empty - and unguarded.
Scavengers and partisans alike roam the forests around the Lake.
It is even rumored that the Germans are afraid to step foot into the area;
Even to chase criminals.
Lake Ilmen is, to many, an oasis; the perfect place to hide from German eyes.
It is a goldmine left open and unguarded.
To some misguided souls, however, it is a prison.
Peculiar 'ghost stories' abound from there;
Stories of looters going missing, of phantom lights in the woods,
and of bunker walls bleeding like rent flesh.
No matter who are you,
Or why you've come to Lake Ilmen,
You will not leave the same.
Warped Histories:
The 19th Century has borne witness to strife on an industrial scale. The landscape of the world - both literally and figuratively - has been forever changed.
Civil war has changed the course of America's fate irreparably. The Second Great War, ending with Germany's undisputable victory, scorched the face of Europe. Russia, graveyard of millions, has been cast into an age of warlords and bandits.

Whispers from Beyond:
The worst has come to pass: all of history bends to the will of unknowable forces. They reach out from the veil, and the whole world becomes them.
To most, they merely whisper. In some places, however, the very laws of nature contort around them. Unwitting people weave stories about the 'hauntings' and 'curses' of these places. They attempt to explain the unexplainable.
Their stories are usually only partly wrong.
Providence is a DayZ community dedicated to Roleplay and Worldbuilding.
Our alternative-history, Lovecraftian Horror setting focuses upon the consequences
of Mankind toying with forces they could never hope to understand.
Our current storyline is set within RK-MOSKOWIEN;
the German occupation zone of Western Russia.
A mysterious plague has gripped the ancient towns around Lake Illmen.
Scavengers and Partisans alike flock to the area like roaches;
scouring abandoned homes and camps for loot.
The most astute of their number, however,
swear they feel something sinister lurking in the forests.
The New World:
The new world is a strange, and often terrible, place. It has been marred by decades of war, and pseudo-science run amok. The maps below show the current state of the World.
Europe rests within the palm of the German Reich; Asia is dominated by the Japanese Empire; and the Americas are broadly influenced by the southern United States.
