You may role-play past events or even role-play strange dream ideas if you like. It's all up to you! Have fun~!

The Nootau City Hall looks similar to a large manor built from stone bricks. Tall towers reach up towards the sky and a lovely fountain can be found out front. The inside of the building doesn't fair too well considering the water damage and broken office equipment. In one of the offices are the town records.

Once the high school in Nootau was a prestigious facility that took pride in its strong education system and many curricular activities. Many had walked its halls, especially since the school was open in the 1990s. Since the apocalypse it has looked absolutely terrible with many of the windows broken and some of the doors are even jammed. Broken desks and chairs are a common, and if they're not broken then they're at least scratched and battered. The gymnasium is now nonexistent since a portion of the roof has caved in on it.

Similar to the Nootau High School, Nootau Elementary was also rather prestigious and had a glorious education system. Nootau Elementary neighbors Nootau High School and the primary difference is the fact that Nootau Elementary have a beautiful playground. Unfortunately some of the playground has suffered serious damage, making sharps points where children could cut themselves on accident.

A wonderful and lively park that surprisingly remains rather undamaged. In the center was a statue of a man on a horse which has now been broken, but otherwise Sunset Rose Park is in fair condition. A majority of the trees still stand beautiful and the flowers are still blossoming during their season. Sometimes survivors come here to get away from the horrors of the apocalypse and relax for a few moments. However, you can't let your guard down since mutated animals and dangerous survivors are bound to be lurking around Nootau and you never know when they will decide to visit the beautiful park.

The Nootau General Hospital suffered a critical amount of damage from when Madman was launched and it's pretty surreal to think the building is still standing. There's holes in the walls and the exterior has damages from rubble impacting it. Since this area is around Madman's impact zone the air is a lot more dense and a putrid smell often fills the air. It's believe that this is due to the fact that Maras hangs on the area. Despite the damages and thick air, survivors still come into the hospital to loot it for medical supplies. Surprisingly a majority of the medical supplies remains on damage, some people going the length to say that it's endless.

The Nootau Public Library was once esteemed for its large selection of books. Unfortunately now that the apocalypse has arrived that large selection has faced water damage and some of the books have mold on them. The roof leaks a lot and generally the entire place looks more haunting than a place where people would read and relax. The library's basement is home to a large archive of former newspapers and some old clothes.

Tiers of Joy was once a renowned bakery in Nootau. People from all over the entire city would come running to taste one of the bakery's excellently made pastries! They made it all from muffins to poppy seed rolls and were even known to cater events. Nowadays the bakery is a bit of a mess and the only smells you may find are from spoiled milk and rotten eggs.

A large mall located near the center of Nootau. Many of the tables, store displays and shelving units have been knocked down. The entirety of the mall is quite a mess since obviously the cleaning staff no longer come around to clean up the place. People can often discover various types of supplies here, but the most commonly stolen items are clothes.

A bar on the east side of Nootau that has been relatively unharmed. There are some minor damages to the glass windows and the chairs has suffered harm. The stools often creek and the tables are wobbly and some furniture have been know to break. Naturally the place is a tad dirty and a majority of the alcohol has been stolen for medical purposes.

The police station has been destroyed quite a bit from a piece of Madman breaking off and hitting the station. A good portion of the station has fallen a part and survivors often fear that pieces of ruble will fall on them. On rare occasions survivors can find weapons and bullets here, if they dig through the rubble portions enough. The standing piece are surprisingly stable, but still concerns people upon entry.

The Crystal Cathedral is very large and had many stained glass windows that almost seemed to make it shine like crystal. Most of those windows have suffered some form of damaged, whether it be completely shattered or moderately cracked. The pews sustain some minor harm, but are still stable enough to stand on. On the sidelines of the pews are many ivory coloured pillars that reach up to support the cathedral roof.

Nootau shares its odd places and the strangest place in this city is the China Doll Amusement Park. That's right, a whole amusement park themed around dolls. When it initially opened a majority of people were too scared to enter the place, but now it has only gotten worse. The rides are broken and a majority of the dolls featured around the park have broken faces. The gift shop is by far the worst with many dolls staring at you and having various damages alongside filthy surroundings.

In a large field are rows upon rows of grim gravestones and a couple of trees. The gravestones are crumbling slightly since they weren't taking proper care of. The grass is now overgrown and the bushes and a few hedges are untrimmed, making it ugly. A giant stone wall surrounds the cemetery with large iron wrought gates that are nearly falling off their hinges surrounds the entire place. Sometimes people bring dead survivors here to bury them among their fellow Nootau citizens.

The Iona Penitentiary was an astounding prison before the apocalypse. Not only did it hold dangerous criminals, but it also had a separate building devoted to prisoners who were less dangerous. The walls were sturdy, the guards were pleasant and generally the whole facility was pretty likable. Before Madman hit the guards had to release all their less dangerous prisoners and take them to a bunker that was on penitentiary grounds. Since the apocalypse those prisoners have escaped alongside some of the more dangerous ones.

The beach in Nootau is absolutely beautiful considering how the waves shimmer in both sun and moonlight. Watching them lick the horizon often cause people to be mesmerize and it can even take a person's breath away. The beach is rather clean, but there are a few felled trees in the area that hadn't been cleared in a long time. Survivors still sometimes come here to swim, but most of the time people come here with other motives based around surviving.

Below the surface is a sewer system that has been almost untouched by the bombs. The center complex of the sewer system is hidden fifteen feet below city hall. A total of four tunnels large enough for a regular survivor to walk through, others have been collapsed. Only four manhole covers are capable of accessing the underground system, these consist of: city hall, the hospital, the high school and lastly one that leads out to the coast.

The Little Pine Woods is a small forest of mostly pine trees. It can tend to be a tad eerie. The Trout Marsh is within Little Pine Woods, making some of the ground soft and squishy. An old campsite can be found within Little Pine Woods.

Summer Breeze Meadow stretches over a good portion of the island, making a beautiful and large expanse of grass. The grass often grows very tall and beneath the tall wavy, stalks people can find a couple of flowers or insects.

The Peterson Farm was once the largest farm on Iona Island when it was in its prime. Before the apocalypse it had been abandoned for roughly twenty years, leaving both buildings and machinery in disrepair. The quality of the buildings and machinery has only worsen and both tend to break easily.

A piece of land surrounded by a chain link fence that has various holes in it and underneath it. There are piles of garbage that reach high and sometimes threaten to topple over. In one of the far corners is a small shack that has been taken over by plant life.

On the outskirts of town is a large bunker that was meant to protect the citizens of Nootau from Madman. There was plenty of supplies in the bunker, but after people decided to leave they took the various types of supplies to help them survive. For the most part, the bunker is a rather dirty underground building that has little to no supplies.
