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.

Oil Derrick
Point of Interest
Details
| Coordinates | (979, 393) |
Description
This Point of Interest is a large, wooden oil derrick, a prominent structure located within the sprawling Heartland Oil Fields in New Hanover. While one of many derricks in the area dedicated to oil extraction, this particular derrick often stands out as a landmark that can be interacted with or explored to some extent, such as by climbing it.
Appearance
The oil derrick is a tall, skeletal framework constructed from heavy timbers that form a tapering tower. It features multiple levels of wooden platforms and is equipped with ladders that allow for ascent. The wood is typically dark, often stained with oil and grime from its operations, and from its higher points, it offers a sweeping view of the surrounding oil field and the plains of The Heartlands.
