The Capital Parkland - An Introduction

 

“Where the ruins of old Alberta echo with neon liturgy, undead covenants, and the thunder of treaded dreams.”

Once the political and economic engine of Alberta, the Capital Parkland now serves as a fractured corridor of culture, decay, and survival. Stretching from the shadowed ridges of Hinton and Edson to the bleeding-edge borderlands of Lloydminster, this post-apocalyptic region is stitched together by cracked highways, haunted forests, psychic oilfields, and mutant towns clinging to tradition, transformation, or transcendence.

Ruled by no single power, the Parkland is a crucible of factions: from vampire parishes and biker cults to fungal communes, machine enclaves, and prairie-born paladins. Its survivors are bold, broken, and brilliantly strange, forever dancing between death and rebirth beneath the dying glow of the aurora.

This is where the heartland beats after the end.
This is the Capital Parkland.

Patchwork Parishes of Ed-Town – Introduction

"Suburbia survived. Sanity did not."

Before the Hodgepocalypse, Edmonton was infamous for its sprawl, stretching outward in every direction with endless subdivisions, big box stores, and ring roads that looped like a serpent devouring itself. It was once dubbed “the biggest northernmost parking lot with delusions of grandeur.” The end of the world didn’t shrink it—it crowned it. What was once suburbia is now a scatter of sanctuaries, fortresses, and eccentric fiefdoms: the Patchwork Parishes. Each clings to identity, memory, or madness. Join us as we tour the stitched-together remnants orbiting the Festival City, one community at a time.
