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.

Saint Denis's Old Quarter, a historic residential area, reflects the city's French and Creole heritage through its architecture, language, food, and music. Home to established families, artists, and merchants, its stable population values tradition, family, and community, distinguishing it from the industrial south and modern north. Danger Rating: 4/10 Saint-Denis Police patrol the Old Quarter's main streets, but criminals easily evade them in the confusing, narrow back alleys and hidden courtyards. These dangerous alleys, especially at night, are used for illicit activities and meetings. While generally clean, sanitation issues arise in less-policed areas due to old buildings and dense population. Cultural tension exists between traditional Creole identity and encroaching American industrialism. Angelo Bronte's mob also influences the district through "protection" rackets.
The Old Quarter features two to three-story buildings with stucco or aged brick facades in various hues, adorned with ornate wrought-iron balconies overflowing with flowers. Narrow cobblestone streets and shadowy alleyways lead to hidden courtyards, while gas lamps provide a warm glow in the evenings.
