The Town

The Town-on-Gorkhon. A small remote settlement, lost in the steppe. It had once developed from the Project of Bulls--in other words, the meat-making industry. Unique and isolated, the Town combines various eras of history and all aspects of humanity. Good and Evil coexist equally here.

The Districts
The Town is divided into three areas by two tributaries of the Gorkhon river—the Vein (Guzzle) and the Gullet. Each quarter has its own name and is split into several districts.
