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.

A large, operational cattle ranch in the prairies of Hennigan's Stead, serving as a vital outpost of law and order and a symbol of frontier resilience. Founded and run by the MacFarlane family, it thrives on cattle ranching and hard work amidst the untamed territory of New Austin. The MacFarlane family and their ranch hands form a small, self-sufficient community focused on cattle ranching, horse breaking, and farming. They are primarily working-class, shaped by a culture of hard work, resilience, and community support against frontier challenges. Danger Rating: 4/10 The ranch is well-protected but frequently targeted by cattle rustlers and gangs hiding in nearby canyons. Key environmental threats include severe weather, drought, and prairie fires. There are ongoing tensions with outlaws who threaten the ranch's animals and livelihood.
