RPG CAMPAIGN TOUR CHALLENGE 2026 Day 8-Tell us about the local peoples and their cultures

Describe the people and their Species, Nationalities, and other identifying features.

There are 3 known sentient species in the area. Humans (including mutant humans), Ratfolk, and Sasquatch.

Since the chaos of the collapse, due to various contagions, including radiation, humans have been prone to developing various mutations. Some are beneficial, some are detrimental, and others are just weird.

Humans predominate the existing Enclaves, and rule 2 out of 3. The humans of Squatch-ville live under the guidance and care of the Sasquatch.

The ratfolk have evolved from rats to full sentience. Whether this was a result of environmental contagion or deliberate intervention from the labs of Calpoly, no one knows. They are ruled by a Rat King, a collective of ratfolk who have joined their tails and their minds into a communal whole of formidible intelligence and (according to rumor) psychic powers. They used to roam Ureka freely, but have been pushed back from Old Town, along the coast, to the inland neighborhoods.

The cryptid known as Sasquatch has since become a proven fact. The humans fleeing the tsunami that destroyed Crescent City fled inland into the redwoods. The local Sasquatch community took pity on them, revealing themselves so that the people could survive. They have since become the leaders of the very successful community known as Sqatch-ville.
