Bayou’s Veil is a swampy hamlet nestled in the humid marshes of Lemoyne, surrounded by cypress trees and alligator-infested waters. The air is thick with the buzz of insects, and flickering lanterns illuminate creaking docks where locals whisper of cursed relics hidden in the mire, attracting treasure hunters and O’Driscoll smugglers. Elias Caldwell, the City Slicker Gunslinger, uses his charm to navigate tense saloon conversations while evading the watchful eyes of Ironclad Railroad spies. In this murky maze, deception and danger lurk behind every reed, making it a perfect setting for intrigue and urban encounters.

Tensions rise as the Grayson Gang conducts raids, and Pinkerton agents keep a watchful eye on Holt's mysterious relic, making this crossroads a hotbed of faith, greed, and moral dilemmas.

Nestled in Ambarino’s snow-dusted peaks, Grizzly Hollow is a forsaken mining camp, its timber shacks crumbling under frost. Abandoned tools litter the ground, hinting at a rushed exodus from bandits or worse. The air bites with cold, and coywolf howls echo through the pines, creating an eerie atmosphere. Tala Whitefeather begins her quest for a stolen Wapiti relic here, as the Wapiti Nation watches from afar and Pinkerton agents scour the hills, drawn by whispers of gold.

Tumbleweed’s End

Tumbleweed’s End is a near-abandoned desert town in New Austin, characterized by crumbling buildings and a harsh, arid landscape. Once a bustling settlement, it now lies in decay, haunted by the whispers of bandits and the rattles of rattlesnakes, serving as a hideout for the notorious O’Driscoll Syndicate. Rosa 'Red' Delgado, the Outcast Bounty Hunter, begins her pursuit of a fugitive here, navigating the lawlessness and dangers of the ghost town.

Valentine’s Dust

Valentine’s Dust

Valentine’s Dust is a bustling boomtown in New Hanover, characterized by its muddy streets, lively saloons, and the constant buzz of livestock auctions.

Amidst the chaos, Jonah Pike plots his next heist in a smoky tavern, all while the threat of the Pinkertons looms large with their wanted posters plastered around town.
