Welcome to !
This wiki catalogues in-universe lore for After the End, a speculative fiction setting. It is set in the Americas more than six centuries after an apocalyptic event, during which time society in most regions has returned to a level of development and sophistication parallel to the early medieval period. After the End is primarily available as a game mod overhauling games by Paradox interactive. The initial version is built on Crusader Kings 2, with the Crusader Kings 3 version scheduled to supersede it after completion.

Religions
In the setting of After the End, as in the medieval period, religion is a key determiner of both geopolitical relationships and of personal and national priorities. Many religions after the end can be considered in relation to the event. Christianity was widespread before the event, and in the subsequent centuries has become increasingly diverse and splintered – even the Catholic Church can no longer be called truly catholic, with difficulty of communication and theological differences creating effective differences even before the appointment of a Pope in St. Louis ended the theoretical unity of North American Catholics.

But Christianity and its heirs do not dominate the New World as much as they once did. Smaller religions like Islam, Judaism, and even Hinduism retain still scattered strongholds, but indigenous religions such as the Raven Tales and Xo'on have surged in influence or been revived. These old religions are often in conflict with each other and with newer religions, many of which look back to the pre-event sophistication as a time of terrestrial divinity to emulate. Some, like Americanists and Patria Grande see old national founders as divine, while others such as Consumerists and Galvanists look to the material trappings of society, and Atomicists look directly to the source of their power.
