Westwood

Overview
To the southwest of Neo Haven, there rests a town straight out of the old west; Westwood sits right in the middle of the Haven Badlands, with nothing but wastes and dirt roads for miles in any direction. The people in Westwood play the part of their appearance, tending to rely on wits and overwhelming firepower rather than technology to protect them from the dangers of a post-Divide world.

Despite how far out of the way it is, Westwood sees quite a bit of traffic because of the local guild; mercenaries and guns-for-hire use Westwood as a waystation in their travels, especially for those who prefer the simple life and can't afford much in the way of amenities. Of course, this sort of attention isn't without its troubles, as the town attracts all kinds of outlaws and generally unsavory folk. Those who manage to survive the hostile badlands typically end up here.

Stark Star Saloon
The Stark Star Saloon is the centerpiece of Westwood, and the main attraction for many travelers who pass through. Entertainment is common, typically with a pianist playing old-style tunes to set the mood, or the occasional bar fight between the local drunks. No one really knows how the saloon earned its name, only that a white star is hung up on the wall with the words "Remembering Ma" etched upon it.

Mercenary Guild
The town of Westwood has always been known as a popular hangout for mercenary types, and this is why; the Mercenary Guild is a private-funded organization that acts independent from any notable factions stationed within the Isles. Anyone can come in and apply for a license, which allows them to take jobs from bounty boards placed in major cities. The Mercenary Guild lets just about anyone apply, which results in some of them being people of less-than-stellar repute.

Maison Mines
On the outskirts of town lies the Maison Mines, once a place of popularity due to the exorbitant amounts of raw minerals beneath Haven's soil. The mines haven't seen much activity as of late, due to rumors that dangerous monsters have taken refuge within the dark depths of the mine. Many mercenaries have tried and failed to exterminate whatever inhabits the mine, leaving the untold riches below to be forever untouched. This trend of failures eventually led the Westwood sheriff to condemn the area, closing down the mines for good and discouraging any foolhardy mercs from senselessly leaping towards their doom. It hasn't stopped them from trying, though.
