Western
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.

Description
The Obelisk is a tall, tapering four-sided stone monument standing 18 feet high, located in a remote wooded area of Big Valley. Its weathered grey surface is partially covered in moss, with faint, unreadable inscriptions hinting at its ancient origins. An engraved metal plaque on the western side bears the Latin phrase 'Hora fugit, ne tardes 1771', inviting adventurers to ponder its significance and interact with its mystery.
Appearance
A solitary, ancient stone obelisk rising incongruously from the forest floor, surrounded by trees and mountains. Its surfaces are weathered, with faint inscriptions and a moss-covered base, creating an aura of mystery.
