October/November 2014 Entry: Wisptown
I made a start on this yesterday and tonight. Here is the description that TheHoarseWhisperer gave me:
Content: map of the frontier settlement of Wisptown.
Specifics: the map should depict both the town of Wisptown, and the Carnival that has set itself up outside town. The town is located in a huge swamp (I think swamps are underused as fantasy town sites). The layout of the town, its buildings/shops and its general geography are up to you. Specific locations within the town that should be included are:
I) Central Trade Depot;
II) Thorn & Sons Company District Offices, next door to the Central Trade Depot;
III) the District Courthouse & Gaol, Sheriff’s Office and Bounty Office, next door to the Company District Offices;
IV) Boatman’s Jetty, and the nearby Company Warehouses;
V) at least one bar/gambling house; and
VI) the Carnival, somewhere outside the town.
Description:
Wisptown lies right on the frontier, far from civilisation, deep within the swamps.
It is a place inhabited by the desperate, the reckless, and the cunning.
A place where trade, individuality, and enterprise dominate peoples’ thoughts.
A place where gunslingers, outlaws and bounty hunters roam the wilds.
A place where, after years of skirmishes and retaliations, humans live in uneasy peace with the native frogmen.
A place where daring wisptrappers have the dangerous job of catching Will-o-the-Wisps for their precious bioluminescent oil, used in the Capital City’s streetlamps.
A place unofficially run by Thorn & Sons, the company that runs the City’s streetlamps, and pulls the strings of law enforcement in Wisptown.
A place where the ominous and mysterious Carnival has recently arrived, casting brightly coloured lights across the swamps, and bringing strange and sinister events with it.
I am not entirely sure how I am going to handle all the wetland yet.
