Armadillo is one of the few remaining boomtowns of the American West that's under developing seemingly hasn't progressed from the 1880s, in contrast to the modern industrialized northern settlements characterized by the city of Blackwater. Armadillo is a common hangout for bandits, who continue to bring violence and chaos to the town. Duels are not uncommon, making it a place where danger is ubiquitous. "This was a boomtown, with mostly wooden buildings constructed quickly by settlers heading into the West to seek their fortunes. A recent outbreak of cholera has devastated the once prosperous town, forcing many businesses to close their doors." Armadillo, a small, dusty town nestled in the heart of the New Austin County, embodies the rugged charm of a bygone era of the American West. With its wooden saloons and sun-bleached storefronts, the town buzzes with the activities of ranchers, outlaws, and travelers alike. The air is thick with the scent of leather and gunpowder, punctuated by the distant sound of cattle lowing and the clink of spurs on wooden boards. A central dirt road, often stirred up by the hooves of horses and the wheels of wagons, serves as the lifeblood of the community, leading to the bustling marketplace where local goods and stories are exchanged. As the sun sets, the flickering lanterns cast a warm glow, illuminating the faces of weary souls who gather at the saloon for a drink and a game of cards, making Armadillo a microcosm of ambition, survival, and the untamed spirit of the frontier.

There is little time for mourning as the new owner is swift in securing new connections and contracts for her valued business. A watchful eye and a knack for bookkeeping, the new owner seems to be having a good start. For now.
