Oasis of Atom

The Oasis of Atom is the area of New York that has been devastated by a unique experimental MIRV nuke that has left a massive crater in its wake. The resulting chain of explosions caused the shattered glass from nearby buildings to whip up into a tornado, becoming fine granules of radiation soaked glass that are now stained green.

A ghoul wasteland explorer named Raoul Duke ventured into this region during a scavenging run, and being able to withstand the radiation discovered a strange quality to the sand, a surprising amount of flora had grown with no intervention as a result of the fertility of the land. Being the enterprising man that he is, Raoul shared this knowledge with a contact that got him in direct communication with High Confessor Simulacrum, the two making a deal.

After the two made their deal, the details of which are kept secret, the Children of Atom left their Dweller lifestyle behind and ventured to the surface taking pilgrimage towards their new home at the Oasis of Atom.
