Terror Bombs

'' "Our magnum opus, a truly insidious weapon that damned the fools who thought they were above god"- Thomas, the final walker. ''

History
The Terror bombs are one of the two weapons responsible for the current state of Razhai, the other weapon being nuclear population bombs. Terror bombs are a product of the Synth-Walkers advancements in chemical technology. Using advanced isotopes and precise chemical balancing, the synths managed to created the most deadly weapon Razhai has ever seen. The bomb was developed as a warning between the different nations of pre-Saivoz. These weapons were used as a way to deter other nations in a cold war type scenario. The main thesis behind the terror bomb was to create a weapon that would permanently destroy the land it was used on. The detestation of normal bombs could be rebuild over time, but a direct hit from a terror bomb would insure that the area was forever uninhabitable by living creatures of any kind. While the synth-walkers never got to see just how effective their bombs were in long term contamination, their goal of permanently destroying land was an outstanding success.

Effects
The effects of a terror bomb are extremely insidious and effective and 100% accomplish the goal it was designed for, the annihilation of life. The blast radius of a terror bomb is several kilometers wide and is still extremely powerful. Small cities would be destroyed in just the physical blast alone but the blast radius was no where near the sheer destructive out put of a nuclear population bomb. The most dangerous part of a terror bomb was the unique type of radiation it produced in its' fallout. Intensive radiation claimed far more lives than the actual blasts. Compared to normal radiation, the radiation of terror bombs had two unique properties that made it extremely effective at extermination. One property was the extremely long half-life of the radioactive isotopes. An extremely long half-life means that the radiation will stay for an extremely long amount of time. Even thousands of years after Saivoz the radiation is still potent enough to cause Biological Deadzones. The other unique quality of terror bomb radiation is how quickly it kills living organisms. Through a rapid process of cell mutation, victims will die of what is essentially stage 4 cancer in a matter of minutes. The cells will mutate and split apart rapidly which causes total organ failure resulting in a very painful but quick death. Even areas that were lightly tainted with the fallout of a terror bomb became an unstable Wasteland.
