Western

World of Redemption

Steffany686

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.

Author's Note: Set within the world of Red Dead Redemption 2, all major characters are available. Be sure to check the World History area in the bottom right of the world map. Look for Class Loadouts in "The Closet" POI, and give yourself a copy of that inventory to start your journey. This world features working train systems, and if you @ the train system you want to use, you can then ask Franz to ride them. More information is available in the World History area.

Bard's Crossing

Area

Details

Size	0
Type	Railway Bridge

Description

Bard's Crossing is a massive railway bridge spanning the Dakota River, connecting the plains of the Heartlands to the rugged western terrain. It serves as a vital transportation artery and a significant landmark in the region. Danger Rating: 6/10 The bridge itself poses dangers due to its height and the risk of falling. The surrounding riverbanks can harbor predators, and its strategic importance could make it a target for outlaws attempting to rob trains or set up ambushes. Native Plants (on nearby riverbanks): - Golden Currant - Indian Tobacco - Milkweed - Yarrow

Appearance

The bridge is a striking feat of engineering, featuring a long, high trestle design made of heavy timber beams or steel girders, supported by massive stone or wooden piers. The railway tracks run along the top, providing a dizzying view of the river below and the echoing roar of trains crossing.
