Here’s an informative video for all of you Fallout fans out there. It offers a complete history of Shady Sands, New California, which was one of the main settings and storylines from the Prime Video series.
The story behind Shady Sands is a tragic one, as it was a thriving capital of the Fallout Universe at one point that became a place for survivors of nuclear devastation to go for a chance to start over.
Initially depicted as a fledgling agricultural settlement struggling in a post-apocalyptic world, Shady Sands is characterized by its modest adobe buildings and reliance on subsistence farming, safeguarded by a rudimentary but devoted militia.
