New Bethlehem

To the easternmost side of the Frontier, just north of the river, lies a den of sin, New Bethlehem. A mining town just a decade ago, after multiple fatal cave- ins in the mostly depleted lightiron mine, all that’s left is a whorehouse and couple stores. Only small farms and hunters sustain the population, and whatever money that can be skinned by Millie and her girls. The sheriff of the town goes by “Black Jackson”, and it’s rumored that he used to ride with the murderous Texian Rangers, but you wouldn’t hear that from him.

Little Yonder

On the western side of Arkana, on the Teotaw River, is the thriving town of Little Yonder. A family of wealthy ranchers and the don of a logging company reside there, and own most of the local businesses, coming together as a sort of economic cabal that has thus far led the town into prosperity. It harbors the most reliable bank on The Frontier. Where there’s sheep there’s wolves, but it’s a comfortable place to settle. Sheriff Marcus Von Gratz and his deputies keep the town safe, and the mayor, “Captain” Sear, a veteran of the union Army, is well respected by most.

Kilbourne

In the north of the Arkana forest is rocky country, full of gold and lightiron. Nestled in the pass of the peak of the rocky hills is the mining town Kilbourne. The town boasts the highest gross revenue of any town on The Frontier, as well as the highest suicide rates. The mines are owned by the notoriously powerful Kilbourne family, who have amassed a fortune by underpaying their workers and undermining their competitors. Most of the population are destitute laborers and their hungry families. It’s usually pretty cold due to its high altitude. Some say that one small point of refuge in this hostile town is The Teahouse, and the cooking of the purveyor, Ms. Loretta June.

Ozarka

In the piney woods of Northeast Texia is the quaint town of Ozarka. Named for it’s location conveniently over the Ozark aquifer, it’s a small town where folks don’t have much in the way of pocket change but plenty good land for farming and hunting. A slaver’s trading hub before the war, the town now presents the most diverse population on the Frontier, to the chagrin of some. The town is about half white settlers and half black folks freed from slavery, with some natives, the Cheroquois and Achatache communities, taking refuge in the woods outside of town to avoid displacement. The town is home to the famed Goar plantation, known for its fine art and craftsmanship, and for being the base of operations for Confederate General Leo during the war.

Bluewater

Named for its beautiful natural spring, Bluewater was once a hub for travelers making their way to and from Mexico. Tensions between Native Tejanos and Texian settlers put a stark end to that. After a brutal battle at Fort Fortuna that claimed the lives of 1000 men in one day, Bluewater became a ghost town, and the surrounding desert all but a war torn wasteland. Many in Tejas believe the war is only just beginning, and the Texian Rangers are gearing up, recruiting Civil War verterans and fresh faced immigrants alike into a well armed militia.

Santa Mara

A skeleton of a town, built around an old mission, populated mostly by Tejano and Mexican folks, who still uphold the the worship of the Old Church. The leader of the mission, Madre Nira, occupying an unusual position for woman in her culture, rules with strict piety. Outside the mission walls the Texian Rangers amass a fighting force, knowing that occupying that mission can solidify their victory against the Tejanos in the region.

Pearson

Pearson is a growing town located on the between the Arkana forests and Teohattawk lake. Ideal land for settlement, what with its being located right on top of the necessary resources, but occasionally challenged by the original inhabitants of the land. Teddy McPearson founded and runs the town as de facto mayor, with his sons making up local law enforcement, and the cattle on his ranch are said to be the biggest and prettiest on The Frontier. As of now it’s the only successful Union settlement in Vyonne. The folks in the town are mostly pious and religious, but are also known to appreciate arts and the histories.

Coppertown

Named for its famed copper mine that, legend has it, lifted many a poor man out of poverty, Coppertown hides in the forested hills of eastern Calivolia. The bustling town serves as a checkpoint for anyone traveling south to west Tejas on cattle runs or other business, and has garnered a reputation for its lively gambling scene, with famous gamblers like Mic Halloway and Little Bitty making frequent appearances.

Kirk

The most populated prison in all of the Union, though technically not in Union territory, yet. A prison built into a mountain next to a stone quarry where its convicts work tirelessly. The founders of Kirk, swear it’s the standard of the future for maximum security imprisonment. All manner of criminals, from serial murderers to petty horse thieves, may find themselves sent to this cold, stony hell. Many veterans of the war, from both sides, can make good money serving as a guard here, where they’re generally able to punish any unruly prisoners as they see fit, with impunity. For anyone sent here, chances of survival are less than ideal.
