Essex Wasteland

The Essex Wasteland is a region of the Commonwealth, located in Essex County and the northern part of Middlesex County. Having avoided the worst of the nuclear attack, it is more civilized than its southern neighbors, resulting in resistance to annexation attempts by the United Communities.

The Low
Formerly Lowell, the Low is a large town and is the industrial center of Essex. Similarly to the Pitt, the mills and factories from before the war have been restored on the backs of slave labor. Several corporate states vie for control of the Low, and those corporations are the strongest factions of Essex.
