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.

Emerald Ranch, located east of Valentine in central New Hanover, is owned by Eugene Wegner. Known for its quality cattle and sheep, the ranch is characterized by its isolation and tension, as Wegner keeps his private life private. The community includes only the Wegner family and a few loyal ranch hands. The culture is one of quiet suspicion and strong loyalty to Wegner, but there's an underlying sense of unease beneath this traditional ranch life. Danger Rating: 5/10 The ranch enforces strict rules and reacts aggressively to trespassers. Its hidden secrets raise concerns, while large operations pose environmental and health risks. Tensions stem from Eugene Wegner's secrecy and the mystery of his daughter's confinement, causing conflicts with outsiders.

Emerald Ranch sprawls across a wide, gently rolling section of The Heartlands, characterized by neat, white-fenced pastures, a prominent windmill, and a collection of well-maintained buildings. The main ranch house, painted white, stands as the largest structure, surrounded by barns, sheds, and animal pens, all arranged for efficient ranching, exuding an order and prosperity that feels sterile and guarded.
