Limpany

History

Limpany is a burned-down ghost town located in the Heartlands of New Hanover, its existence defined by the mystery of its demise. The town, which once housed a saloon, general store, and a sheriff's office, was completely destroyed by fire, leaving behind only charred ruins and the haunting remains of its inhabitants. A desolate collection of charred wooden buildings and stone foundations, the town is a tragic monument to an unknown event. The ground is covered in ash and debris, and a thin layer of smoke and dust often hangs in the air. The most prominent remaining structure is the stone jailhouse, a somber relic that, despite surviving the fire, holds the corpses of its prisoners, who are believed to have died from smoke inhalation.

The prevailing theory among locals is that the fire was not a natural disaster. Evidence points to the wealthy magnate Leviticus Cornwall, whose company's barrels of kerosene and tar, stamped with the Cornwall brand, are scattered throughout the town. It is widely speculated that the residents of Limpany refused to do business with Cornwall, and he retaliated by having the town burned to the ground as a brutal warning to others. The lack of a clear, official reason for the fire has made Limpany a subject of local legend and rumor, with some believing it to be cursed or haunted by the spirits of its former residents.
