The Anvil

The Anvil is a frontier territory on the shores of Hammer Inlet, established after the Booming Bay Incident displaced populations from the south. The region contains irradiated soil and mutated wildlife that made it historically undesirable for settlement. Its primary settlement, Embersforge, operates under a governor and town council, though enforcement varies. Embersforge is part of the Hammer Inlet Coalition, a loosely aligned group of settlements bound by trade and mutual defense agreements established in the aftermath of the Incident. Newcomers to Embersforge are called Sparks; those who establish themselves and prove their worth become Embers. The settlement has earned the nickname the City of Adventure, attracting a diverse population of criminals, soldiers, zealots, and survivors looking for a fresh start.
