Camptown

Camptown was a Stranded camp turned permanent settlement in the Roscosita Mountains on the southern edge of the Jacinto Plateau. Founded in 14 A.E. by Stranded finally able to leave humanity's decrepit cities in the wake of the Lightmass Bomb and extinction of the w:c:gearsofwar:Kryll, the camp's population was bolstered over the following year by refugees turned away from the final COG bastion of Jacinto. Too small to garner much notice from the COG or w:c:gearsofwar:Locust, Camptown's few hundred inhabitant eked a living out of the sparse sub-alpine forests by hunting, shepherding, and growing what few hardy crops they could. This meager living would have been unsustainable for a larger population, as was quickly proven when a column of refugees arrived on their doorstep in the aftermath of Jacinto's Fall, becoming a crisis moment for the settlement. In the following years, Camptown came to the attention of the renewed and expanding Coalition as a point of control over the Aldonza Pass in which it lay, leading to pressure from the new COG to join their rapidly-expanding alliance.
