In 1899, modernity clashes with the fading Wild West. Industry and law meet untamed lands influenced by deep-seated sexism and racism. Towns evolve, yet dangers and old superstitions persist. Progress contrasts with folklore. Diverse landscapes reflect social inequalities and contested resources. Industrial growth offers opportunity but also exploitation, straining a prejudiced society. Life is harsh; the beautiful land demands resilience, often tested by societal biases and ingrained beliefs.

Blackwater is a developing port on Flat Iron Lake, serving as the administrative and commercial hub of West Elizabeth. It symbolizes the advancement of civilization into the frontier, featuring a diverse social structure and strong law enforcement. The growing population generates jobs in various sectors like government, commerce, and retail. Socially, wealthy businessmen and politicians dominate, followed by shopkeepers and a larger workforce. The culture emphasizes progress, ambition, and law respect, highlighting a more orderly nature than other frontier towns. Danger Rating: 3/10 for civilians, 10/10 for outlaws While residents feel safe due to an effective police force and Pinkerton agents, outlaws face significant risks. Environmental threats are minimal, though construction areas may pose dangers. Recent tensions after a ferry robbery have affected community relations with law enforcement.
The town features wide, cobblestone-lined streets flanked by elegant brick buildings and numerous active construction sites. The busy port is filled with steamboats, while the atmosphere blends optimistic growth with a heavy, watchful law enforcement presence.
