Liminus-setting

Liminus

A dirty, blood-stained, booze-breathed town on a border between Here and There.

Terrain

North:: sheltered acacia grove
Northeast:: an eerie windswept plain; gas fields
Southeast:: sheltered acacia grove
South:: trailer park in dry dusty gulch
Southwest:: vantage from a mesa; immense solar farm
Northwest:: bridge across major river that splits Here from There

Factions

In Town:: The Tophats, who control the town, have a standoff with the Blueheads, who want to strip the town for parts. The Sheriff is second-in-command of the Tophats and all her deputies are Tophat prospects.
North:: Magian missionaries. A deity named Mag has developed a cultic following. Its missionaries roam around the land, spreading confusion and dismay with prophecies of Mag's catastrophic return to this world.
Northeast:: Sheriff's posse harassing gas ranchers. The Sheriff is a Tophat. A lot of the ranchers prefer the Bluehands, and would like to see the town join up with There. The sherriff wants the ranchers to stop agitating the distant government of Here. No need for soldiers to come in and find out what's going on in Liminus.
Southeast:: Bobican missionaries. Disciples of the Prophet Bob, they have unceasingly proclaimed Slack from their tents and tin roof shacks, twelve years since the Bank of Liminus evicted them from what now is the Mines Guild Hall.
South:: Blueheads gang mostly live in the trailer park.
Southwest:: Solar ranchers.
Northwest:: Sheriff's posse looking for Blueheads. The prospects are kind of inept.

North

Near the old Graveyard, with the Tomb of the Famous Unknown. Tourists come there for a fee, which is levied by the Tophat Gang. The Tophats don't let any locals worship at the Tomb.

Southwest

Under the mesa:: There's a salt mine. It goes a long way down. It's very old. There's an entrance to from the mesa. There's a hidden entrance, too.

Northwest

At the bridge:: It's the boundary between Here and There. Liminus is on the Here side of the river. The Tophats run the town without regard to either side of the brewing war. The Bluehands are allied with There. There is a customs booth at the Here foot of the bridge. Next to the booth are concrete barriers blocking vehicle traffic, and a rusty pink pallet loader parked next to the barriers. The customs booth sometimes is staffed by a deputy.
