The Pistolcrage desert has a rather mysterious history, with not much being known about the towns

in the region, especially the centre of the desert, a region known as “the Devils Palm” for having
large Mesa formations at 5 points of the Devils palm, making it look like a titanic hand rising from
the sands. The devils palm gets its name for being a very dangerous place, having untamed
sandstorms that sheer flesh from bone, mythical monsters of undead and titanic proportions, as well
as it being home to the desert reaper ‘Malphas’.

Just south east of the devils palm is the town “Hoodoo county” which gets its name from the
numerous Hoodoo formations of the area. Its the largest of the town in Pistolcrage and is home to
both outlaw and commoner alike.

East of Hoodoo county is a large shanty town called “Gargant town” getting its name for the town
being built within a massive skeleton of a war construct the Orcs call a Gargant. Its home to the
black market of Pistolcrage as well as various undesirables such as slave traders, assassins and other
such people.

North east of the devils palm is the town “dusty rock” which gets its name from early settlers being
disappointed in finding out they had not travelled to the Green Mesa. Its a rather average town with
some services such as an apothecary and an inn, but it also exports the largest amount of silk in
pistolcrage, due to the locals there somehow being able to domesticate the wolfspider population of
the area.

Southwest of the devils palm is the town of “Teufort” getting its name from the town being divided
in half through the middle, with the old teufort log fort being at the centre. Everyday hired
mercenaries are fighting for each others halves of the town by the super old Mann brothers who
were rivals since their birth.

Northwest of the devils palm is “Green Mesa” getting its name from how vibrant and green it is,
containing various water springs and its abundance of plant life. Rather than it being a town, the
locals of the area live in large eco friendly tents and live off the land as best to preserve the area. Its
know for being home to a relaxing hotsprings and spa retreat.

South of Green mesa is the Ironlog fort, getting its name from the fact it is a heavily defended log
fort. It is both a prison and a trade hub, housing the bandits and outlaws of pistolcrage and trading
their ill gotten gains away for profit.

South east of Dusty rock is the deep, which gets its name for being a really deep hole in the desert.
Some have explored its surface layers and have found signs of past expeditions or foundations of
towns and cities, but none dare to go further risking their lives or getting lost in the deep.

South east of hoodoo county is “ruins” which gets its name for being a mysterious region filled with
the ruins of an ancient civilisation. Whatever used to be here has caused the sands to turn maroon
and cause almost alien rock formations in the region.

Some may chose to enter the devils palm and most that only go into the first ring usually come out
without major damage, but the further inward to the centre you go, the worse your chances of
survival are. Those that die in Pistolcrage and are revived or resuscitated are cursed by Malphas, at
first the curse manifests itself as a morphing of the cursed persons shadow, getting taller and
thinner, after 2 weeks the victim will start to become very thirsty to the point that water will no
longer sustain them anymore, and after one week of that the victim begins turning into sand from
the feet up. There are only 2 ways of beating the curse that are known, the victim must either
journey into the heart of the devils palm and defeat Malphas in combat, or travel to the bottom of
the deep and drink from the fountain of forever, both being sisyphian tasks.
