Key Historical Events

Overview:
The history of DZXRP’s universe is a timeline of crucial events that shattered civilization and left survivors fighting for a new way of life. This timeline outlines the major milestones, from the initial conflicts and viral outbreak to the fragmented society that now defines the world.

The Prologue of Conflict (Pre-Apocalypse)

• Time Period: Before the global collapse, amid rising geopolitical tensions.
• Event Summary: In a time known as the Prologue of Conflict, nations engaged in intense competition over dwindling resources, leading to strained alliances and volatile power struggles. Military buildups became routine, and unsteady truces left the world on edge.
• Impact: These skirmishes primed the world for collapse, as rivalries and mistrust among global powers made peaceful resolution impossible. This stage created an atmosphere of unease, setting the stage for what would become the outbreak.

Outbreak Genesis (Early Apocalypse)

• Time Period: During the height of geopolitical conflicts.
• Event Summary: Amid ongoing conflicts, a bio-engineered virus—intended for use in warfare—was unleashed, infecting large populations at an alarming rate. Known as the Outbreak Genesis, this event was initially contained to war zones but soon spread worldwide, leading to rapid depopulation.
• Impact: The outbreak destroyed entire cities, prompting governments to collapse and infrastructure to fail. The few who survived fled urban centers, becoming isolated from any remaining authority. Outbreak Genesis is widely viewed as the definitive end of civilization as it was known.

The Collapse (Mid-Apocalypse)

• Time Period: After the outbreak had spread uncontrollably.
• Event Summary: With the virus decimating populations and infrastructure in shambles, society crumbled. Known as The Collapse, this phase saw economic systems disintegrate, leaving survivors without access to basic resources, health care, or communication.
• Impact: The Collapse led to the abandonment of cities and widespread chaos. The world was overtaken by ruins, and survivors were left to scavenge whatever they could find. Territorial lines dissolved, creating a lawless land where survival instincts ruled.

The Emergence of Factions (Post-Apocalypse)

• Time Period: Years after the initial collapse.
• Event Summary: Survivors gradually formed factions and organized into groups with shared goals, values, or survival strategies. These factions reclaimed abandoned areas, forming their own territories and laws.
• Impact: This period saw the rise of new territorial dynamics, with factions competing for limited resources and asserting control over specific areas. The factional structure continues to shape the world today, dictating where survivors can go and how they must behave to avoid conflict.

The New Normal (Current Era)

• Time Period: Present day in DZXRP.
• Event Summary: The current state of DZXRP’s world is defined by constant conflict, fragile alliances, and harsh survival conditions. Factions vie for dominance, resources remain scarce, and the world is marked by its unforgiving environment.
• Impact: This era is one of adaptation, where survivors must learn to navigate factional politics, defend their resources, and face the dangers of an unforgiving landscape. For those who survive, the only constant is uncertainty.
