It would be reclaimed in 2113 by a party of migrants, looking for a safe area to settle. They would find several houses intact, and the area relatively peaceful. They planted seeds from wild fruits and grains, along with a small amount of pre-war seeds that they had as well. That spring they alternated between tending to the sprouts and tearing up the pavement and sidewalks, using the debris to block off several alleyways.

| - Before the bombs, Saint Julliene was a suburb of Winnipeg, but would lay abandoned in the panic during and after the war. It would be reclaimed in 2113 by a party of migrants, looking for a safe area to settle. They would find several houses intact, and the area relatively peaceful. They planted seeds from wild fruits and grains, along with a small amount of pre-war seeds that they had as well. That spring they alternated between tending to the sprouts and tearing up the pavement and sidewalks, using the debris to block off several alleyways. That fall the harvest was both bountiful and varied, with fruit trees sprouting as well as grains, which they used to make several pies and breads. The settlers decided to stay permanently, and needed a name for their new home. They decided upon Saint Julliene, in tribute to who they thought was the saint of farmers. They planted again the next spring, and jarred the extra, storing it at the bottom of a fire pit. The next several years were also good to the farmers, and several others wished to join their community. By 2130 they were a village of 60, and even boasted a trader. That was the first year they would see a raider party, being extorted for food by a dozen men. The farmers grudgingly paid up, having young children and few weapons. They would be left alone after this, with the raiders only returning one more time in 2136. The second visit was brief, with the raiders thinking better of trying for supplies. They would double in size by the next century, occupying nearly the entire neighborhood.
