[18F] — SECTOR 18
The Eastern Valley
Overview
The valley floor east of the hills, where pre-Cascade suburban grids persist in various states of habitation and decay. Strip malls repurposed as trading posts. Cul-de-sacs turned into defensible compounds. Parking lots converted to open-air markets where scavengers sell Wastes salvage to inner-ring buyers who don't ask about radiation exposure. The population is frontier-sparse — independent operators, small-holding families, and people who came here because everywhere closer was already claimed. Power comes from solar panels scavenged from a thousand rooftops. Water comes from wells that nobody tests.
