Nicolas' Group

**Nicolas' Group** is a small group of former members of the NGR paramilitary in *The Walking Dead by EDStudios*. Led by Nicolas, they left the paramilitary after the Battle of Archangel, angered over Edwards' decision to let Eduard live at the end of the war with the Frontiersmen.

The New West

**The New West** is the setting of the '*New Age*' Extension: '*New West*' of *The Walking Dead by EDStudios*. It is not an actual physical world, merely the location of the comatose dream of Alex Junior, constructed in his mind from his love of western movies and individuals from the real world that have influenced him, from his friends to foes. It largely serves as the conduit for AJ's representation - his dream persona Sheriff Black - to unknowingly somehow make it back to consciousness.
Sunshine Empire

> *"For the emperor!"*
>
>

> -- The war-cry of the Empire's army
>
>

The **Sunshine Empire** is a large network of communities and slavers located in Florida and southern Georgia in *Lonesome Road*. Modelled after the Roman Empire, the Sunshine Empire is an autocratic, imperialist nation that subjugates its citizens and forces slaves to build their infrastructure. They serve as the main antagonists of *Lonesome Road*.

## Overview

The focus of the Empire's ideology is survival and long term stability at all costs. The Emperor disregards democracies as ineffective, fostering corruption and disintegration; ancient Rome was a militarized autocracy that effectively assimilated the cultures it conquered, which its founders saw as the perfect template for a society that would survive and thrive in face of the challenges of the post-apocalyptic world. They believe that the only way to achieve this is through enforcing a nationalist, imperialist, totalitarian, homogeneous culture that obliterates the identity of every group it conquers. The individual has no value beyond his utility to the state, whether as an instrument of war, or production.

Politically, this philosophy is expressed in a general disdain for democracy as a weak and ineffective system that fosters disunity, greed, and self-interest at the expense of the collective and the greater good, all leading to the abandonment of the collective.

## Members

* Julius Gaius - emperor
* Jeremiah Jones - leader of the Imperial Slavers

Themes: Leadership

**Leadership** is a recurring theme in *The Walking Dead by EDStudios*. It involves an individual or a group of individuals being given the responsibility of making decisions for the group they're a part of.

Nothing is known about Martin's life before the outbreak.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season 3

#### 'Time For After'

Martin and his bandits ambush Edwards, Drew, Holly, AJ and Bethany after they are separated from the rest of the group in the Deadlands. As the five of them fought back, Martin and Clive managed to overpower Edwards and Drew respectively, while the others threatened to rape Holly, AJ and Bethany. However, Martin did not expect Edwards to be so hardened by the apocalypse and was surprised as Edwards bit his throat and tore out a portion of his jugular vein. He quickly bleeds to death from the wound.

## Death

### Killed by:

* Harry Edwards *(alive)*
* Bethany *(before reanimation)*

Martin locks Edwards with his arms, to prevent him from saving AJ, Holly and Bethany from being raped, then taunts him and says "What'cha going to do now?". Edwards, in response, bites Martin's throat and rips out his jugular, killing him. That morning, Bethany's knife is shown to be in his head, meaning she presumably stopped him reanimating.

## Killed Victims

* Possibly numerous counts of zombies and unnamed people

## Trivia

* He is the first character to die by being bitten on the neck by a living character, the other being 'Fox', and the first to die from being bitten on the neck by Edwards, the others being Boyle and Holt.
	+ AJ likely killed Fox by bitting him after witnessing Edwards kill Martin.

Along the way, events transpire that threaten to twist his fractured psyche into a far more dangerous - and unnatural - threat.
Squatters

The **Squatters** was the name used for a group of survivors that serve as the primary antagonists of '*A New Day*'. They were survivors who tried and failed to break into the Sanctuary Safe-Zone on numerous occasions, only to be constantly repelled by the survivors already inside. However, the Squatter's repeated attacks left the safe-zone walls badly damaged, and a truce between the two groups was arranged. Thanks to the actions of William Carter, the truce fell apart before it was even declared, and the Squatters attacked the safe-zone in full force. Although their whole group was wiped out, they successfully destroyed Sanctuary's wall, dividing the survivors inside into two groups.

Sovia

Flag of Sovia

Map of Sovia

**Sovia**, officially the **Republic of Sovia** and formerly known as the **Sovia Soviet Socialist Republic**, is a fictional country in Eastern Europe that serves as the setting of *The Dark Blooded*. It is bordered to the north and east by Russia, to the south by Ukraine and to the west by Belarus. In 2012, like the rest of the world, the country was ravaged by the zombie infection; the strain that overran Sovia, however, gave rise to a new type of infected not present in the rest of the world.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Not much is known about Sovia before the outbreak, but it is known to have a long and proud history as a warrior nation home to tough, fierce people. Historically it was part of Kievan Rus', a federation of Eastern European peoples, until it gained independence as a kingdom for centuries. It was around this time that the Sovian peoples began using a unique weapons such as the Twin-Blade and the Sovian fighting staff. It was eventually assimilated by the Russian Empire, but the Sovian people kept their fierce longings for independence. It was a Soviet Socialist Republic and therefore a part of the Soviet Union, gaining independence in 1991 with the collapse of the USSR. It maintained extremely close ties to Russia throughout its history, with some giving it the nickname "Little Russia". The country has been ruled by president Alyaksandr Tikhanovskaya since at least the early 2000s.

## Post-Apocalypse

In 2012, around the same time that the United States, Mexico, Canada and Japan were all struck with a mass outbreak of the zombie pathogen, Sovia fell to the unique Sovia Strain.

### The Fatal Frontier

#### 'Wolves'

Sovia appears from orbit at the end of the episode, showing that, around thirty years following the outbreak, a large portion of Sovia's electrical grid has been repaired.

## Trivia

* Sovia is geographically around the same location of the real-life Bryansk Oblast in western Russia. In the series' continuity, the territory within the real-life Oblast became an independent state before it joined the Soviet Union and became independent once more following the collapse of the USSR.
* Sovia is heavily based on Eastern European former Soviet republics, especially Belarus and Moldova.
* The Sovian language consists of words from both Russian and Belarusian, with some modifications.
* The final episode of *The Fatal Frontier* appears to confirm that, approximately thirty years following the outbreak, the electrical grid of Sovia has been repaired.
Old World

The **Old World** is a term used by the residents of the apocalypse to describe the pre-apocalyptic world before the global outbreak in March 2012. Coined just as humanity as a whole was starting to find its feet many years after the outbreak, the term is used widely in the series' universe. In the Extended Universe, the term "**First Age**" is often used by the tribals of the Legion.

## Overview

The Old World is often described as "a time of commerce and industry, of fruitless necessity. Of wanting rather than needing, of thinking rather than doing, and of false love instead of appreciating".
Wolf Medallion

A **wolf medallion** is an item of clothing featured in *The Walking Dead by EDStudios*. Created by the People Tribe, they are silver medallions adorned with a wolf head, within which is a chemical mix of zombie blood, saliva and a herb called necrobane; this concoction makes those who wear or otherwise have the medallion of their person completely invisible - and therefore invulnerable - to walkers.

A unique medallion was previously owned by Gaunter O'Kyle, who passed it on to Edwards.

**The** **Federates** are an organization that claims to be the continuity of the Old World federal government of the United States and styles itself the **Federal Government of the United States** as such, appearing in the original universe and the Extended Universe. Originally formed as a shadow government within the Executive Branch of the government, the Federates performed experiments on the populace of the country for decades, until the outbreak almost wiped them from the face of the earth. A contingency plan was set through the FRS, which was reborn as the Federates as they are known today.

They orchestrated the conspiracy against the Commonwealth of New Graystone, causing the West-East Coast War, and fled to a derelict oil rig after the Corps' defeat. They were discovered by Thomas Eden, who transformed them into the new threat they are today. In the 2150s, they began a nationwide invasion, seeking to restore the United States.

Having been behind many significant events across the series' universe, the Federates ultimately serve as the main antagonists of the series, and the primary antagonists of Phase 3, Phase 4 and Phase 5.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Little information is known about the Federates before the outbreak. It is believed they were founded shortly after the formation of the United States and have been the true power behind the United States government since. This continued all the way in the 21st century. The public face of the Federates was known as the Federal Rescue Services. It is widely believed and supported that the Federates had prior knowledge of the impending outbreak, or perhaps even caused it.

## Post-Apocalypse

After the outbreak, the Federates managed to seal away a vast population of pre-selected children in special bunkers. These children were forced to watch Federate propaganda, twisting them to fight their New World agenda. Over the course of generations, this agenda was solidified.

The Manor

**The Manor**is a major location within Port Collier featured in '*Around All Corners*' and'*All That Remains*'. It served as the main headquarters of the Clarkson Survivors during their time in Port Collier, acting as a safe haven from the walkers and the Hopeville Army.

## Pre-Apocalypse

### Port Collier

This manor was located in a wealthy neighbourhood of Port Collier, living among other upper-class citizens. It was a two-story house that had the same rooms as any other house would have such as a kitchen, living room, bathroom, front hall, two bedrooms, a study, an attic, and even had a locking gate. It also had a wine cellar below the foundations.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season 1

#### 'Around All Corners'

After escaping the Hopeville Army, the Clarkson Survivors ran through the scouts until they had lost the hostile survivors chasing them; they found the manor and tried to find their way inside, both as shelter from the Hopeville Army and as a base of operations during their time in Port Collier.

With Aaron shot in the leg, Edwards attempts to find a way inside; having already tried to unlock the door and break in through a window, Edwards found his way into the manor's wine cellar through the shed entrance. Within, he found the reanimated manor owner, his wife and his son. After dealing with them, Edwards leads the group through the cellar and up into the manor.

With Aaron resting his leg on the couch, Edwards, Justinas and James search the house: Justinas and James upstairs, and Edwards securing downstairs. Searching the various rooms downstairs, he finds a rifle, a shotgun and a revolver.

**The Delta** is a community of survivors appearing the '*The First State*'. A settlement located in northern Delaware along the Delaware River, it was established by the descendants of a large, hostile tribe from the New North who settled in Delaware due to the superstitions - and therefore isolation - surrounding the state. Over the decades, its inhabitants abandoned their tribal conditions and established one of the few non-tribal societies on the east coast. The community was protected by their very own sheriff's department, led by Thomas Trent, and it grew into a thriving settlement. It serves as the central location of '*The First State*'.

The community came under threat from a large and mysterious force known as the Cult of the Man in Black. The Delta, underestimating the power and resources of the Cult, attempted to stand against them, resulting in a battle that left the community destroyed, with those who survived heading out across the country searching for allies against the Cult.

## Inhabitants

### Formerly:

* Thomas Trent - sheriff
* Mycroft - sheriff's deputy

Themes: Camouflage

**Camouflage** refers to a series of techniques used throughout EDStudios *The Walking Dead* Universe. It refers to survivors' abilities to camouflage their scent from walkers, thus allowing them to avoid detection. The most common method of camouflage is the **walker guts trick**, in which survivors cover themselves in walker blood and cuts, masking their own scent. Other techniques include covering oneself in charcoal or smoke.

## Occurrences

### The Walking Dead by EDStudios

* Shadowman hides his scent from walkers by covering his clothes in walker blood. ("Around All Corners")

### Strain Zero

* While crawling out from under a collapsed helicopter rotor, Henry is covered in the blood of a walker he kills, hiding his scent from approaching walkers. ("A Long Road Ahead")
* Henry convinces the group to cover themselves in walker blood and cuts in order to move through the walker horde flooding Port Collier ("All That Remains")
The Crew

**The Crew** is a small group of Pioneers that appears in *Strain Zero*. Shortly after their group was absorbed into Delta Force's network, the crew snuck away on a secret mission out east. Upon arrival at the oil field, the Crew were attacked and enslaved by the Animals, who brought them to their home in Bismarck. With the help of former slaves Ronnie, Tonks and Elk, the Crew were able to escape in the death bus and return home in time to fight in the final battle at Adams Air Force Base.

In the twelve years after their mission, the Crew was reformed and disbanded several times to conduct small-but-important missions throughout the Commonwealth. The most recent incarnation was formed by Emma to hunt down Florence and bring her to justice, only to be captured and interrogated by officers of the Republic Military.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season 5: Remake

#### "The Game"

At Greencole, Drew is woken up in the middle of the night by Mike and Emma, who tell him that they need his help for a "secret mission". They steal a trio of horses, supplies and weapons and head out in secret, with Mike stressing that nobody else can know their plan. Before they leave Drew discovers Laika, who has heard everything and demands to join; wanting to keep their mission secret, the trio are forced to agree. They agree that they need to get back home within ten days, before the incoming storm hits.

To avoid the Delta Force soldiers at Wolf Dam they take the long way around the lake and into the hills, planning to take the rural roads before joining Interstate 90 and then 94, the same route that the Pioneers took from Fargo. Laika, believing that their mission is to get revenge on the Frontiersmen, is surprised when she learns that the group are actually heading for North Dakota.

The Brigade

**The Brigade** is a hostile group of survivors that appear in '*Scorpion*'. The members of the Knighthood seem aware of their existence and appear to have encountered them before, developing an intense fear of them. The Castle eventually discovers that they are a regional task force for a much larger organisation. They serve as the primary antagonists of *Season 1*.

## Overview

The Brigade are incredibly mysterious, with the Knighthood even refusing to refer to them by name; their motives and location are unknown. They brand walkers with their symbol and release them.

The Brigade are notorious for using the phrase "Join or Die?". Saying "join" results in the group dragging the survivor off for parts unknown; saying anything except "join" or "die" results in death; and saying "die" appears to make the speaker hesitant.

## Post-Apocalypse

Next to nothing is known about this group. At some point, the Knighthood encountered them and developed an intense fear of them, refusing to even call them by their name and instead as "them".

### Season 1

#### 'Who We Were'

When Sam, Kyle and Snakeeyes arrive at the river, they find both banks covered with bodies that have been recently executed. Sam immediately recognises it as the work of "them". Kyle asks about them but both Sam and Snakeeyes avoid the question and don't answer him. Kyle finds a symbol scratched into the ground identical to the symbols he has been seeing on walkers in the area. Sam asks Kyle if he killed any of the walkers he saw with the symbol on them, which Kyle confirms, receiving a look of horror from both Sam and Snakeeyes.

With Snakeeyes fatally injured, a figure approaches him who he recognises. The figure points a revolver in his face and says three words: "Join or Die?". Snakeeyes replies with profanity, with the figure instantly shooting him in the head and leaving his body to the walkers.

Veteran's Legion

The **Veteran's Legion**, sometimes just referred to as the **Legion** and occasionally by outsiders as **Luddites**,are a coalition of tribes along the east coast appearing in the Extended Universe. The tribes of which the Legion consists were once many warring tribes and clans across West Virginia until they were united by the Last Veteran, who led them against the warmongering Horsemen and their leader Twisted Round. The Legion has since become one of the dominant factions on the east coast outside the Columbian Commonwealth.

## Overview

The Legion is a coalition of tribes from across the east coast, brought together to share a common tribal identity and prevent further conflicts between them.

A universal characteristic of all the tribes in the Legion is their dislike and avoidance of Old World technology and sites, hence the derogatory name Luddite used by outsiders to refer to them.

They are unique in that their skin has been so burned by the intense heat of the atomic explosions that it has hardened into a form of armour, making them difficult foes to kill.
