Twenty years after the initial spread of the pandemic Cordyceps Brain Infection (CBI), the remaining 40% of survivors have done what they can to survive. Many survivors live in quarantine zones, though pockets of survivors have settled in abandoned buildings to make a new home for themselves. Supplies are constantly in demand and, as such, have created factions among the survivors: the Fireflies, an anti-government militia group dedicated to finding a cure and taking down FEDRA; the Hunters, known for their animalistic brutality, that want nothing more than to keep their territories safe from outsides; FEDRA, a government organization that created and now struggle to maintain the established quarantine zones; and Independent survivors, who are just trying to survive without becoming tangled with the other warring factions.
Based off the online multiplayer game The Last of Us: Factions, Towards the Light centers on the quarantined city of Chicago and the nearby city of Skokie. The roleplay will focus on the daily lives and struggles of the survivors, as well as the machinations of the organized Fireflies and loosely-banded Hunters.
