Ten Kingdoms – The Badlands moves forward to illustrate The Rise of Evil in the western half of the U.S. as a standalone episode in the world of Arks of America. What has happened in the Arks prequels eerily resembles the world we live in today. Ten Kingdoms is a chilling look at the dystopian world in which evil rises after a perfect storm of internal strife, infighting, chaos, terrorism, and nuclear EMP attacks.

***

After America suffered blow after blow of internal strife, work stoppages, police shootings, riots, and immobilizing national discord, the riches of the country attracted international villains who eyed the country like a wealthy home with an open front door.

Hit with a massive EMP strike, the West Coast from the Pacific to the Mississippi was left a wasteland of gangs, violence, and burning homes.

Dave Cavanaugh’s Arks of America project, designed to be an oasis of calm and a place to preserve medicine, art, and ethics among a sea of chaos, has been corrupted and threatens the balance of power in The Badlands. With no working government and state and local administrations nonexistent, Dave must make a choice that will expose his Arks project and put the lives of his people at risk.

All the while, the eastern half of the country, spared the EMP attack the west had seen, was experiencing a massive wave of terrorist attacks and a reawakening of internal riots and class warfare that had been incited for many years.

With Dave’s attention focused on the Badlands, the eastern U.S. Arks communities were on their own, with some help from Dave’s trusty assistant Louis.
