West Virginia

West Virginia is the 35th state in the United States of America. Unlike many other parts of the wasteland, West Virginia seems to have emerged relatively unscathed from the Great War, with many trees and greenery still standing.

Pre-war
Two vaults are commisioned in West Virginia, Vault 76 and Vault 63. The experiment of Vault 63 has yet to be discovered by us but we do know that Vault 76 was a control vault, a vault designed to function exactly to Vault-Tec advertisements.

Great War
During the Great War, the people of West Virginia rushed to the vaults. Those who didn't make it in took shelter wherever they could. Unfortunately, most of the survivors became ghouls, some of whom would become part of The Scorched.

Post-war
Following the Great War, much of the terrain of West Virginia remained unaffected by the bombs or at least recovered by 2102. In 2102, the dwellers in Vault 76 have an official celebration to mark "Reclamation Day", in which the vault dwellers emerge from Vault 76 to rebuild the wasteland.

The Forest
The Forest is the name for the eastern parts of West Virginia. Most of the area seems habitable and non-irradiated. Vault 76 is located here along with other locations such as Morgantown and the Mothman Museum. Parts of Charleston are also located here.

Cranberry Bog
Cranberry Bog seems to be a nuclear desert area in West Virginia. Not much is known about the area other than the fact that the city of Watoga is located here.

Savage Divide
The Savage Divide is the mountainous area in West Virginia that divides the eastern part of West Virginia from the west. Not much is known about the area other than the Top of The World ski resort is located here.

Ash Heap
The Ash Heap is located directly south of Charleston. The Ash Heap seems to be the remnants of the mining area in West Virginia. People who have traveled here have watched active mining machinery drill and one traveler even found Vault 63.

The Mire
The Mire seems to be a swampland of West Virginia. Located toward the east of the former state, it is rumored to be home to many mutated creatures.

Toxic Valley
The Toxic Valley is toward the north of West Virginia. Not much is known about the area other than the fact that there seems to be a large abandoned circular ring of sorts.
