HISTORY Strawberry is a small township nestled in the foothills of Mount Shann- a town with a proud history of rugged individualism and independence. In August of 1899, a rebellion broke out against the local government that shattered the identity of the town, pushing most of it's prominent members to flee. Since then, the wounds of that rebellion have healed, and few now live to remember it. Now, however, a new era awaits as more and more settlers begin to move into the area, seeking fame, glory... and silver. FACTION GOALS COMMUNITY West Elizabeth is a wide and varied county, with Strawberry anchoring it's Northern half. Serving centrally to accommodate both Little Creek and Pronghorn, it provides a middle ground for these occasionally spatting ranches. To the South, travelers from Blackwater can stop and rest before continue their journey. A mingling ground for entrepreneurs, traders, and wanderers, Strawberry provides a unique experience to roleplay just at the cusp of the frontier- just don't piss off the locals, or you may find yourself down river without a paddle. BUISNESS The opportunity for business in Strawberry is immense- though specialized. Surrounded by dense forests, logging is a major industry in the area that fuels the purses of the locals, allowing for buildings to be erected from the East coast to the West. Seasoned timber from Strawberry is used to build homes for the exploding American population. The exquisite wilderness around attracts not only trappers and hunters- but a new kind of person who is more than happy to shoot animals- the photographer and tourist! And yet the wilds hold other secrets as well- camps for those who wish to remain hidden and ply their fiendish trades at the point of a gun. Those fires in the hotel at Strawberry sure are friendly!- But can the same be said about the ones just over the saddle of the mountain? And last, but certainly not least, is the yet undiscovered wealth under Mount Shann, a vein of silver that lies far below the earth for the hardest working and most eager prospector. The American dream is out there- you just have to reach out and work for it! ... Or take it. THE STORY The main idea of this faction is to engage in roleplay set in a booming mining and silver town of the late 1890's and early 1900's, echoing some of the great mining towns of Northwestern America and Canada, as the Western frontier slowly became more and more civilized. With a direction upwards and onwards, the wealth of the North can be vied for and fortunes made as an unfolding narrative plays out among the most famous denizens of Strawberry. After all, few get rich without stepping on a few toes- or shooting a few folks. Feel free to reach out to @Soucy with questions, or Join the Discord
