Identity and story role
The registry exists to gather outposts, settlements, safe zones, and branch communities into one navigable reference. It reads as a civic map of the post-war world.
Chronological role
Dark Age establishes roughly one hundred outposts after the Great War. The registry begins with the Allied States system, then links to Survival, Redemption, and New Zealand communities where story continuity supports them.
Major conflicts and turning points
Allied States survivors migrate into walled outposts after the Great War.
Turkey River proves the system can feed itself and other communities.
Outpost Portland and Peaks Island show civic recovery and family life.
Patapsco Valley and Ellicott City show frontier vulnerability.

Why it matters
The registry matters because the post-war world is no longer a string of battlefields. It is a network of communities that must produce food, defend children, treat wounds, and decide who belongs.
Final status and consequences
Keep the registry open-ended. Add new settlements as branch work deepens.
