Similarly one may ask, what is the Badlands in the Chrysalids?Badlands. Outside of the Fringes. These lands are still dangerously radioactive, and it is believed that anyone who sets foot there will die. Sailors who navigate along the Badlands coast south of Newf report seeing a jungle of fantastic mutations.Likewise, where does the Chrysalids take place? The Chrysalids is set in Waknuk in a time deep into the distant future. There has been some kind of apocalyptic event, known as the Tribulation, and it has left the people of Waknuk in a 19th century level of technology. Waknuk is in what today is Canda, in Labrador. Considering this, what are the fringes in the Chrysalids? The Fringes is basically where all of the people with deviations go to live. It’s on the edge of Waknuk and there is a scarce amount of food, because of the bad soil and contaminated things. Therefore, they live apart from the people of Waknuk who are a norm (the image of God).What are the differences between the livable areas the fringes and the Badlands?The livable area is low on radiation, and has little deviation caused by it. The fringes are areas where deviation is quite common, likely due to higher levels of radiation. The badlands, likely sites of nuclear attacks, have deadly radiation levels. However, the people believe it has to do with the influence of Satan.
