  the library.  

❝ THIS WAS ONCE HOME TO WILLOW, SALEM, CONRAD AND TABBY : the library was always a sanctuary for willow even before the outbreak; it is only right that she chose this place to stay safe once her apartment caught fire in the initial spread of the parasite turning people into the walking dead. she was the first to make camp there, then welcomed salem to stay once they crossed paths. he is the one who really made it a home.bookshelves are stacked against entry points for security, the sound-proofed meeting rooms have been repurposed and decorated as bedrooms, with cushions and blankets looted from nearby houses. a space heater is powered by the school's generator, and the staff area nearby works as a great kitchenette.


** the library was burned to the ground in a raider attack. it no longer serves as a suitable shelter

  greenfield farm.  

❝ FOUNDED BY KENNY, WILLOW AND TABBY, greenfield farm is a refuge for a select few survivors who have earned the trust of those who live there. it is an impressive patch of land with enough space for crops, animals and shelter for a large group of people. it is surrounded by woodland, fenced off and tucked away out of the path of hoards of zombies shambling across the country. there are fruit trees, cattle, and greenhouses, those that live off of this land are unlikely to go hungry as long as they work together to keep it running smoothly.
