Vail Overview
Vail, Colorado serves as both our territory and our challenge. A ski resort town nestled in the Rocky Mountains, it masks deeper conflicts between Gaia's defenders and the Wyrm's corruption.
Geography
The territory spans three main areas:
- Vail Village - The human settlement, tourist destination
- The Backcountry - Wild lands, our hunting grounds
- Eagle County Mines - Abandoned... or so they claim
Key Locations
The Ski Resort
By day, a playground for wealthy humans. By night, a mask for darker dealings. The development companies push ever deeper into pristine wilderness.
Eagle River
The lifeblood of the valley. Spirits of water and stone dwell here. The Uktena have ancient claims to these waters.
Old Mine Shafts
Sealed for decades after "accidents." The spirits refuse to speak of what happened there. Some doors should stay closed.
Threats
The Wyrm's influence creeps through:
- Corporate expansion destroying wilderness
- Toxic runoff from old mining operations
- Strange disappearances in the backcountry
- Rumors of a new Pentex front company
Allies
Not all is lost. We have friends:
- The local Kinfolk families
- A sympathetic Forest Service ranger
- An Uktena pack to the west
