  3) TULSA
  The war: Once the buckle of the bible belt, Tulsa was home to a powerful and wealthy right-wing religious group
  founded by TV evangelist Oral Roberts. The single nuclear warhead targeted on the city had a faulty altimeter and
  exploded about three miles too high, saving much of the infrastructure. Unfortunately, the resulting riots and fires
  destroyed about 50% of the city by the end of the winter. The massive EMP burst over the city ruined every ability to
  fight the fires, which rampaged through the city, eventually burning themselves out with the next big snowfall. Over
  time, the areas that survived better than others began to rebuild. Most importantly, a large part of the campus of Oral
  Roberts University survived, including the Radio and Television Arts building. In fact, Oral Roberts himself survived
  the chaos, working tirelessly for years to help his people get through the worst of the terrible suffering.
  Today: 150 years later, Tulsa is a growing trade and commerce center for east-central Oklahoma. Religion is still king
  here, but generations of survival have made basic secular concerns just as important. Tulsa has seen steady population
  growth over the last century, with most of the people coming in from rural areas in Kansas and Missouri fleeing from
  the Krell. The total population of the city is now about 7,800, making it one of the largest in the region. Trade is
  conducted with a network of farming and grazing towns spread out in the countryside. Relations with the Osage Indians
  are cordial, though age-old racial opinions often keep both sides apart. The Krell are always looming on the northern
  horizon, and an occasional Krell recon team is spotted in Oklahoma. Tulsa is making plans to deal with the invasion that
  
  The Morrow Project Travel Guide - Oklahoma
  will certainly come one day. Balancing this with their religious views ends up with hours of debates and prayer sessions
  for the town leadership.
  Defenses: The city has a standing militia, of course, and a "militia commitment" has to be fulfilled by citizens of a
  certain age. At any given time, there are just 90 standing men in arms. There are enough trained reserves at any time to
  make a force of 350 men in two days time. Full-time soldiers wear unremarkable tan and gray uniforms, the reserves are
  issued only colored armbands. Men are armed with flintlocks and salvaged pre-war weapons. The standard flintlock
  rifle is known as the "Tulsa Six" and is made right here in the city. The dozen or so remaining pre-war weapons are
  issued only to special units. They also have homemade explosives and metal plate "body armor", which protect the head
  and chest from musket shots.
  The Radio Station: Tulsa is now home to one of the largest operating radio station in America. Known just as "The
  Station" or more accuately, "God's Station", it broadcasts daily sermons, weather reports, and emergency news, all with
  a heavily religious slant, but invaluable to the locals. This was once a backup transmitter for broadcasts from Oral
  Roberts University, and was in storage when the EMP from the war destroyed all other large transmitters in the city.
  Originally restarted about 6 years after the war, the Station has been in near continual operation ever since. The
  knowledge specific to the Station has been passed down through the generations by a specific group of technicians and
  engineers.
  Over the years, the Station has been powered by electricity generated by gasoline engines, coal-fired boilers, crude solar
  panels, even once a team of oxen turning a flywheel after a storm destroyed their generator. Currently, the Station is on
  the air thanks to a steam-powered generator cobbled together from a million different parts. At the end of each broadcast
  is a standard plea for anyone in listening distance to bring any salvaged radio or electronic circuitry parts to the Station.
  About six or seven times a year someone will arrive with an invaluable piece of salvaged technology to help keep the
  Station on the air a little longer. What they really need is something really reliable, like a fusion powerpack...
  The actual range of the Station depends on the weather, but in perfect conditions it can be heard up to 125 miles in a
  circle around Tulsa. The actual average for clear, uninterrupted reception is closer to 75 miles. Within that circle there
  are a number of settlements who have benefited greatly from the Station's offerings. Through a century-long program of
  salvaging and repairing radio sets and small generators to distribute throughout the listening area. Today, those
  communities that have an operating radio value them as the greatest asset they have. Most larger towns have one,
  sometimes two if they are extremely lucky, and all are "owned" by the community as a whole. As the broadcast times
  are set, people schedule their day around being in the community building to listen to the radio.
  People bring regular shipments of food to the Station, not so much to pay for the broadcasts, as they are free, but in
  thanks for them. It might not be surprising to learn that the "radio personalities" have developed a kind of celebrity
  status rare in post-apoc America. Certain preachers and newsmen are lauded as the best speakers or the most
  entertaining, and everyone has their own favorites. These radio hosts make occasional trips out into the farmlands, so
  the people usually have a face to place with the voice. One particularly handsome young radio preacher has been known
  to make the ladies swoon when he rides into town.
  4) EASTERN OKLAHOMA
  Outside of the farming area that feeds Tulsa, there are a number of notable settlements.
  Osage: This area is home to a growing tribe of Amerinds. These Indians are the survivors of a tribe that lived in this area
  some 150 years ago. Following the war, and the changing weather patterns, the tribe pulled up stakes and moved north
  into Kansas to settle along the more fertile Kansas River. When the Krell reared its ugly head, the tribe fought back. For
  a while it looked like they might prevail, but then the Krell hit the tribe's main encampment with a nerve gas shell and
  some 2,000 people died. The survivors, mostly warparties out in the field at the time, fought a fighting retreat south,
  taking more losses before the Krell stopped and let them go. They headed back to their ancestral lands in Oklahoma,
  where they set about rebuilding their tribe. Since most of the survivors were men, they began to look for wives amongst
  the local population to increase their numbers. Today, the tribe is nearly 800 strong again and is spread out in the eastern
  counties of Oklahoma in an area of many lakes and rivers. Relations with the Tulsa enclave are fairly good, with some
  
  The Morrow Project Travel Guide - Oklahoma
  trade conducted along established routes.
  Vinita: Northeast of Tulsa, Vinita is a strong farming community that is protected by mercenary braves of the Osage
  tribe, which have kept the town safe from most of the area's more adventurous marauder bands for the last decade.
  Kinta: A small farming settlement along the ruins of Highway 31. To the south of the town are the Sans Bois
  Mountains, now home to a nomad clan called the "Wild Bunch". There are rumors that something "out of the ordinary"
  may be going on in the hills, maybe something unnatural...
  The Frozen Chosen: In the past few years, patrols of Frozen Chosen scouts have been seen in this area, checking out the
  local situation. See Arkansas for a complete description.
  Henryetta: A small trade town on the main trade route through the flat oak and hickory forests of eastern Oklahoma.
  Known as "The Henry" to the locals, the town is comprised of new buildings converted from the husks of the old town.
  The merchant caravans from Tulsa and along the old I-40 route provide Henryetta with its primary food supply. The
  trade goods are supplemented by meat from local livestock and game traded by the locals. Although Henryetta's
  necessities are supplied by outside sources, the town thrives by providing a couple of the most valuable commodities in
  the area, security and shelter. The Henryetta Trading Post lies within a walled compound and maintains a small security
  force that acts as the local constabulary. Redfeather's Lodge provides room and board for merchants and other travelers
  who desire accommodations. The Ok U saloon provides food, refreshment and entertainment. A council known as the
  Henryetta Chamber of Commerce, led by Wanda Queenan, the "trademistress", governs the town. Both the town's
  residents and its guests are to abide by the regulations set in the "Henryetta Code". The Henryetta Code is conservative
  in nature, and provides penalties for common crimes such as murder and theft. The Code prohibits established
  gambling, prostitution, and drug use within the walls of the town. The slave trade is not promoted in Henryetta, however
  the C of C maintains a "hands off" policy regarding the slaves of visitors, provided that neither breaks any other law.
  The Blaze: The main source of trouble in Henryetta and the surrounding area comes from a local gang of well-armed
  raiders called the "Blaze". The leader of the Blaze, Jax, was originally a permanent resident of Henryetta. One evening
  there was a heated dispute at the saloon, leading to the ejection of Jax, his girlfriend and an Amerind thug. Later that
  evening, the three returned together with a flamethrower and torched the tavern. The Blaze fled town and now dwell in
  the old Dripping Springs State Park, approximately 10 miles to the northwest. The Blaze delight in setting buildings and
  trees on fire, and have destroyed or driven off the few scratch farmers who used to live in the area. The Blaze has yet to
  strike back at Henryetta, but it is no secret that they desire nothing more than to burn it to the ground.
  5) CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
  The war was not kind to central Oklahoma. All the cities in the area were either nuked or destroyed in the resulting
  chaos. The central plains are mostly abandoned now, with little organization above the town level. Further south, "Near
  Oklahoma", the area just north of Red River, has coalesced into many small "city states" and farming regions. This area
  is often rough and lawless. The southern edge of the state is a wild land of swamps, forests and lakes.
  The ruins of Oklahoma City: Atomized during the war, little remains of this once peaceful city out in the plains. The
  flatness of the ground served to spread out the blast effects and offered little impediment for the firestorms, resulting in
  nearly every structure in the city being leveled or burnt. The ruins are surrounded by a burned-out area about 10 square
  miles in area, home to many mutated species of plants and bugs. Only a few scavengers can be found here.
  Indians: The Seminole reservation survived the war by the skin of their teeth. Unlike more isolated Indian areas in the
  north, the small reservation here was swamped by refugees from Oklahoma City and Tulsa, bringing violence and
  disease to kill off about half the native population. By the time the chaos died down, only a hardcore group of survivors
  was left. This group's unique skills and determination were instrumental in the revival of the Seminole over the next 50
  years. Today, the Seminole Nation has some 3,000 members but is still content to live in central Oklahoma. Relations
  with other settlements of whites have generally been good, but there have been instances of violence over the
  generations. Relations with the Osage Indians to the east of Tulsa have not been as good, as cultural clashes over the last
  decade have cut off nearly all ties between the two tribes.

  Purcell: Following the war, people in the region migrated away from the devastated large cities and radiation death.
  Purcell, located in prime agricultural farming land near the Canadian River south of the ruins of Oklahoma City,
  eventually began to absorb a large number of wanderers and homeless. Over the generations, the town has grown and
  stagnated in a cycle familiar to most survivor communities. Today, Purcell is a thriving river trade town specializing in
  corn and animal hides. Some 750 people live in the town and the surrounding county. Trade with the local communities
  is brisk, but Republic of Texas traders offer the best prices, though they only come twice a year.
  6) NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA
  From the north-south stretch of Highway 81 west to the Texas border and along the Panhandle there is virtually nothing.
  Nearly all the towns in between have been long ago abandoned as the area has seen so many droughts.
  Enid: Home to some 400 farmers and townspeople, the largest town in the area. A low sand bag and timber wall has
  been built around the town square, though it has been a long time since anyone attacked the town.
  Vance Air Force Base: Nuked by multiple warheads and still a tangle of twisted rusted girders and piles of bricks and
  stones. Much of the Enid Plains are still polluted by residual fallout from these strikes.
  Cherokee: Little remains of what once was the town of Cherokee, Oklahoma, about 40 miles northwest of Enid. The
  only surviving asphalt and buildings are within the ruins of the old Kegelman Auxillary Field. The airport ruins have
  become the home of a Raider gang. The gang is well-armed and comprised mostly of wasteland scum and Amerind
  outcasts led by a vicious, foul-tempered Osage Indian named Blinding Sun. The gang arrived at the ruins of the airfield
  recently after an ardous and long journey from central Kansas, and, finding buildings intact, searched the ruins for
  treasure. They found a cache of weapons large enough to supply a small militia. Kegelman Airfield once provided
  auxiliary facilities for Vance Air Force Base to the southeast. The Air Force base was destroyed in the war, but the
  military equipment secreted at Kegelman Airfield remained intact. This cache of equipment provided Blinding Sun with
  fuel and weapons. So far they have not seeked to expand, but are eyeing the unsuspecting town of Enid as a potential
  target.
  7) SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA
  This area of rolling hills and open grasslands is home to a number of larger settlements, taking advantage of the swift
  Cache and Wachita Rivers and the plentiful game in the Wichita Mountains.
  Lawton: Once one of the larger farming and grazing settlements in this part of Oklahoma, Lawton has seen a dramatic
  turn for the worse. Last year, during a particularly bad seasonal drought, some of the more radical members of the town
  council took over, ostensibly to preserve law and order during the drought. Lawton is now under the control of a
  "popularly elected Mayor" (tyrant) and his "citizens militia" (death squad soldiers). It is a horrible situation for the
  citizens, as the thugs have ultimate power of life and death over them, dispensing it seemingly at whim. Everyone
  knows that if you want your rations of food and want to drink clean water that you have to submit to the Mayor. People
  are fleeing in the night in trickles and batches. The Mayor has some old artillery guns used to put down riots and to let
  people know he is master of their lives. The guns came from nearby Fort Sill and it is rumored that they soldiers there
  want them back.
  Fort Sill Military Reservation: The SS-N-8 targeted here was a dud, landing in the town of Hulen, about fifteen miles
  southeast of the Fort. Over time, most of the soldiers left for their homes across the nation and the Fort fell into
  disrepair. A small cadre of soldiers and officers remained, however, and have formed the basis of the community since.
  Fort Sill is still a military base, even though not in the same form it was 150 years ago. The "military presence" here is
  mostly ceremonial as the last few generations of soldiers have little idea what the "US Army" or "America" were really
  about. By now, they are mostly farmers and hunters wearing copied BDUs and following a few ancient military
  customs. The 1st Cav from Texas sent a platoon up here some 80 years ago, looking for cannon shells and spare parts.
  At the time, the Texans were not well received, but now the soldiers at Fort Sill would surely welcome the Texans. The
  total population of the base is around 325 people, fully half of them women. Though close to the chaos and tyranny in
  
  The Morrow Project Travel Guide - Oklahoma
  Lawton, this base has been kept clear of that mess due to some long-standing treaties between the base and Lawton. It is
  questionable how long this truce will last however, and the Fort Sill community is planning on a move to the south
  across the river.
  Site-S: This Snake Eater Regional Command and resupply base located under Fort Sill was shaken by the atomic attack,
  but not stirred. The facility is identical to the one at Fort Drum in New York except the specialty vehicles are all
  Armored Hummers with GAU-19s.
  Chickasaw: Chickasha is home to a community of 785 people led by a man named Tommy Hall, a duly elected mayor.
  To his credit, in his fifteen years on the job, Tommy has cleaned up the town, restored sewer and water service and even
  kept the epidemics down. Tommy, however, is not a nice guy and has been known to run off, kill, or enslave anyone
  who stands in his way or disagrees with him. Recently, refugees from Lawton have been arriving with stories of the
  terrible situation there. Tommy is considering his options, which include a military expedition.
  Elk City: The past three months have seen over a dozen well-executed marauder attacks on this largish farming village,
  most of them coming from a Bandit clan based in the Black Kettle National Grasslands nearby. Elk City is running out
  of bullets and fingers to pull triggers. The trouble started when the townspeople caught a young boy stealing a cow. The
  boy, who was a stranger to the town, escaped, but not before brashly telling them that "My father's gonna come mess
  you up bad!".
  Altus Air Force Base: A former B-52 base, nuked during the war and now abandoned to the mutant grasses and five-
  foot long lizards.
  NEW!!! A new adventure module set in the Altus region, The Siege of Altus.
