Cities and Towns:

Redwater City: Redwater City also known as Redwater or The City of Stories is a California city that was originally a home to early settlers who were said to have dabbled in the occult and practised arcane rituals usually involving sex and succumbing to basic desires. Their lives were changed when a group of stranded pirates and sailors led to the early settlers fleeing to the woods, while they made the settler's lands their new home. In its early days, Redwater City quickly became a refuge for criminals, outlaws and runaways and the area gained an infamous reputation for its wickedness, cruelty and lack of law enforcement though rumours claimed a group did provide some form of protection to the city’s innocents. Redwater was officially founded as a city in the 1800s by the Grayson, Morgan, Cavanaugh, Fell, Drake, Weston and Fallon families as the city moved to the modern, developing era under the leadership of Peter Grayson, head of the Grayson dynasty who also helped establish a legitimate police **** that helped to tackle the majority of the criminal element though some gangs remain and made peace with the city’s original settlers. As the city developed and gained in size it wasn’t until the opening of Redwater University that Redwater rose to prominence as it brought more outside individuals to their city. The opening of the university led to re-development in Redwater, headed up by the Fell family and allowed the town to grow significantly in size. Nowadays, the large city is separated into different areas each home to different people, communities and sources of entertainment and recreation. These areas are:

  • Central Redwater: The inner-city area of the city, home to the bustling city-centre, full of local and global stores, several companies, a famous nightlife and the prestigious, Redwater University campus, its many buildings and accommodations. It is mainly home to students of the university. The Phantoms Gang operates in Central Redwater.
  • Duskfall: An area of Redwater City whose land was gifted to the descendants of the original settlers by Peter Grayson and is now home to distinctive music, celebrations, festivals and vibrant nightlife. The Duskfall area also has rumours and tales of the Supernatural including haunted buildings, streets and strange happenings and disturbances reported by residents.
  • Evergreen Woods: A large national forest located in Redwater City that is also home to many wild animals. It is often used for hiking and camping and very few people have cabins here.
  • Fairshadow Bay: An area of Redwater City located by the beach that got its name from being in the shadow of Redwater Cliffs and the fair winds that usually occur. The Caine Family Criminal Enterprise operates in Fairshadow Bay.
  • Northside: Located in the northern area of Redwater City, the Northside is the new up-and-coming area, home to some of the best restaurants in the city.
  • Oldtown: An area of Redwater City that contains a lot of the original buildings and structures from the original settlement and founding of the city as well as more modern ones. Considered a retirement area within Redwater City.
  • Rayton Heights or The Heights: Rayton Heights is a large area that is a centre for artists, writers, filmmakers, actors, dancers and musicians and anyone looking to make a career in those sectors and is home to many celebrities including Vivienne Young. Several parts of this area, especially the high society are corrupt.
  • River Valley: A large area located near Amnesty River that was originally founded by pirates, runaways and thieves but quickly grew into a prominent part of the city and became a well-known safe-haven for criminals, due to its corruption.
