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.

This quintessential frontier landscape is dotted with small farms, working ranches, and the bustling livestock town of Valentine. The area is a hub of activity and travel, with a major railway line cutting through its fields and serving as a prime hunting ground due to its abundant wildlife.
