Dustfall Junction

Dustfall Junction is a rugged western-style settlement built on the back of the cobalt industry. The town is defined by its wooden boardwalks and the looming silhouettes of steam-driven mining rigs. On the outskirts, a sprawling tent city of gnomes adds a chaotic splash of color and constant mechanical noise to the monochromatic landscape. It is a place where a person's life is often worth less than the ore they pull from the ground.
